Wisteria Flowers Made from Triangles

Kimie Gangi: Super-easy wisteria made from triangle origami

This is a wisteria decoration made by combining origami folded into triangles.

The folding method is very simple: first, divide a sheet of origami into four triangular parts.

Apply glue to the left and right edges and fold them inward toward the center.

Glue two of these pieces together to make one large blossom.

Next, make the small blossoms.

This time, divide the origami into four squares, then fold each square in half to make a triangle.

Fold them the same way as the large blossom, preparing both some pieces glued in pairs and some left as single pieces.

Attach these in order onto a paper tape, and the beauty of the arrangement will create a lovely wisteria trellis!

Wisteria flowers made with the kirigami technique

DIY Paper Wisteria | Paper Flowers | Origami Flowers

These are wisteria flowers made of origami, with realistically tapered petals that get smaller toward the tip.

If you use two-tone origami paper with a gradient, the result will be even more striking.

First, fold the origami paper into a triangle twice.

Then cut it into half a heart shape and unfold it.

You’ll have eight petals; cut off one petal, then glue the remaining edges together to make a six-petal flower.

Gradually increase the portion you cut off to create slightly smaller flowers as you go.

String the flowers together from the smallest one using a needle and thread, and you’ll end up with an exquisitely delicate and beautiful wisteria.

Plum Blossoms Made with Origami

Plum blossoms are one of the flowers that are at their best in March.

Let’s try folding an origami plum so we can enjoy the feeling of the season.

Since plum blossoms have five petals, fold the origami paper and cut it to make a pentagon.

Then fold it into the shape of plum petals and use scissors to refine the form.

There are some intricate steps, but for seniors who enjoy origami, it’s a very rewarding project.

If any seniors find it difficult, please support them by folding together, and so on.

The finished piece has many uses—you can attach it to a wreath or display it on the wall.
