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

[Origami] Easy way to fold a plum blossom. Perfect for New Year’s, Setsubun, and spring decorations in January and February [Origami World]

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.

By the way, cherry and peach blossoms, which bloom around the same time, also have five petals, so you can adapt this plum origami to make those as well.

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.
