[For Seniors] Perfect Finger Exercises! Seasonal Flower Origami

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.

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.

Cherry Blossoms in the Moonlit Night

[Craft Idea] Cherry Blossoms on a Moonlit Night (April Wall Decoration) (Senior Recreation, Day Service, Occupational Therapy OT, Childcare) (Origami, 3D, DIY, Group Craft Activity) (Cherry Blossom Buds)

Cherry blossoms at night have a different kind of beauty from those seen during the day, don’t they? In daylight, the blossoms look delicately charming with their cute pink petals.

But under moonlight or illumination, they give off a more mature atmosphere.

Here’s a perfect wall decoration idea featuring night-time cherry blossoms for seniors who love yozakura.

Choose darker construction paper for the background of the cherry trees and blossoms, and add a moon to create a night-sakura scene.

As they make the blossoms, seniors will likely feel the arrival of spring.

Looking at the finished piece, they may appreciate the beauty of night cherry blossoms and even reminisce about their past cherry blossom memories.

From a safety perspective, that’s understandable to an extent.

How about your home? If you have a plain, empty wall, why not create a “cherry blossom arch window” that looks like a real window there? Imagine stained glass in a church, but made with colored paper.

Use light blue for the window to evoke the color of the sky, and decorate each pane with cherry blossoms in your own style.

Origami works, paper cutouts work—there’s no one right way.

A variety of cherry blossoms would be lovely.

Cherry trees that color Japan’s spring.

Seeing cherry blossoms in full bloom at parks and elsewhere really evokes a sense of elegance, doesn’t it? Let’s make a Japanese-style cherry blossom decoration that captures the arrival of spring.

Take three sheets of origami in different sizes, accordion-fold them, and glue them together.

Create a three-dimensional cherry blossom out of origami.

Because it’s three-dimensional, some of the steps are a bit intricate.

Older adults who enjoy origami will likely have fun making it.

If the finer parts are difficult, please have someone nearby provide support.

Assemble the cherry blossom petals and place them on top of the accordion-folded origami to finish.

It will look lovely displayed at home.
