Wisteria flowers made with origami

[Origami Spring Flowers] How to Fold a Wisteria Flower | Origami Wisteria

Here’s an idea for wisteria flowers that will instantly brighten up a room when hung from walls or the ceiling.

Prepare origami paper in purple, light purple, yellow-green, and green, then fold the flowers and leaves.

Make the flowers using origami cut in half.

Fold the paper in half lengthwise, unfold it, and then fold both edges inward along the center crease.

Some of the steps are a bit detailed, but using your hands skillfully can help prevent cognitive decline.

The more wisteria flowers you make, the fuller and more beautiful the result will be, so please have the seniors divide the work and create them together.

Let’s recreate the beautiful, finely layered petals of a chrysanthemum using origami.

The key is the narrow accordion folding, which also helps train precise finger movements.

After folding the paper into an accordion, trim both ends into rounded shapes to suggest petals, fold the strip in half, and glue it—prepare two of these.

Connect them and fan them out into a circle to complete the flower.

For added color gradation and depth, stack two tiers of different sizes, and adding leaves is also recommended.

Origami Cosmos

[Origami] How to Make Cosmos Flowers / Perfect for Autumn Crafts! / Origami Cosmos

It’s a simple craft where the edge of the origami is cut into the shape of cosmos petals.

Because the shape and look are very simple, it’s also great for layering to add volume or using as decoration parts.

First, fold the paper in half, then fold it in half again to make a crease.

Use those creases as a guide to fold it into a triangle.

Draw lines in the shape of cosmos petals there, cut along the lines, and when you open the paper, the cosmos shape is complete.

To achieve a beautiful finished piece with evenly arranged petals, it’s important to fold precisely along the creases.

Wisteria swaying

[Spring Origami] Hanging Decoration: How to Make Wisteria Flowers [Origami]

How about a hanging wisteria decoration with a realistic, three-dimensional look? Prepare purple, light purple, and yellow-green origami paper, bamboo skewers, and string.

The flowers are made from quarter-size origami sheets, so please cut them in advance.

Fold the colored side in half, then fold in half two more times.

Draw petal shapes with a pencil and cut them out.

Use a bamboo skewer to curl the tips of the petals into a gentle curve.

Make a small stick-shaped piece and attach it to the petals to complete each flower.

Then, adhere the flowers onto a long, narrow strip of yellow-green origami to build up a three-dimensional floral cluster.

Attach a string and hang it by the window—watch it sway softly in the breeze.

Spring wildflowers

[Spring] How to Make Spring Flowers and Plants [Wall Decorations]

Let’s create a spring-themed floral mural to bring a touch of spring to your room.

You can easily make it using colored paper sold at 100-yen shops.

Since the sheets are large as-is, cut them into quarter size, and even into quarters again if needed.

For clovers, fold the paper into eighths, draw the lines, and cut along them to finish.

For five-petal flowers like cherry blossoms or pansies, you can fold at about two-thirds of the edge to get a nice shape.

Alternatively, make a six-petal flower first, then cut a slit and overlap the petals to turn it into a five-petal flower for a more three-dimensional look.

Finally, use a large sheet of colored construction paper as the base and attach the flowers and leaves you’ve made to complete your mural.
