[For Seniors] Perfect Finger Exercises! Seasonal Flower Origami

Christmas rose

[Origami] It's spring, but a Christmas rose @OrigamiDecoration

The Christmas rose is a plant that blooms with beautiful flowers during the cold Christmas season, which is often thought of as a time when few flowers are in bloom.

Let’s try making this flower using origami, which will brighten up Christmas in a variety of colors centered on pink and white.

The process involves using reverse folds to create star-shaped points and then folding them sideways to recreate the overlapping petals and soft appearance.

By paying attention to the finer steps to achieve a three-dimensional finish and intentionally incorporating the white on the reverse side, you can create a beautiful Christmas rose.

Try making it in different colors and use it as part of your Christmas decorations.

Tulips are loved as flowers that herald the arrival of spring.

Making tulips with origami is a fun activity using colorful paper.

Carefully folding each petal one by one uses your fingertips and can help stimulate the brain.

When finished, the tulips will brighten up any room when displayed.

Some folding methods are tricky, but if you take your time, you’ll create a lovely piece.

How about everyone making origami tulips together? You’ll surely create a wonderful space that feels like a spring field in full bloom.

Tulips and windmills

[Craft Idea] Tulips (March/April, spring) (wall decorations) (senior recreation/OT/day services) (early childhood education) (3D) (origami) (windmill) (DIY)

The wall decorations of tulips and windmills that evoke a spring atmosphere feature a bright, warm design.

Cut red and yellow origami paper to make the tulip petals.

Add small slits at the tips of the petals and glue them overlapping to create a three-dimensional effect.

Make the stems and leaves with green origami, and when arranged on the wall, it gives the impression of a field of spring plants spreading out.

For the windmills, cut out the base and cross-shaped parts and assemble them into a windmill.

Finely cut the propeller section, add windows and embellishments, and glue them on to enhance the three-dimensional look.

The vivid colors of the tulips and the windmill design create wall decorations that convey the warmth of spring.

Tulip hina

[Craft Idea] Tulip Hina Dolls (March Hina Festival) (Wall Decorations • Senior Recreation • Occupational Therapy OT • Day Service • Childcare) (Origami • Colored Construction Paper) (DIY) (Tulips • Peach Blossoms) (Simple 3D Craft)

Tulips are one of the essentials of spring, and the way their brightly colored flowers bloom so vigorously conveys the joy of the season.

This craft combines tulip blossoms with Hinamatsuri (Girls’ Day) motifs to create a project that feels distinctly springlike.

The base is construction paper cut into a tulip shape; onto this, you add origami clothing and decorations to complete the Hinamatsuri theme.

For the two main figures, make slits and then glue them together to give them a three-dimensional look so they stand out from the rest—that’s the key point.

Finish it off with leaf parts and surrounding tulips to create an overall festive look.

How to fold spring flowers

[Made with a single sheet of origami] Cute peach blossom folding method ◇ Origami Peach Blossom Spring Flower Hinamatsuri Hina Dolls ◇

How about making a wisteria decoration with purple origami, featuring cute, plump, three-dimensional blossoms? It may look complicated at first glance, but the folding is simple and follows the same steps as a crane up to a certain point.

Combine the center sections, fold the petal parts outward, and one petal is complete.

If you firmly tuck the folded triangular section inward, you’ll get wisteria that looks almost real.

Make about ten of these, then use green origami to create the stem and leaves.

Decorate your room for spring with realistic, beautiful wisteria.

Cherry Blossoms and a Bridge

[Craft Idea] Sakura (3D) and Drum Bridge – Cherry Blossom (April) (Activities for seniors, occupational therapy OT, day services, childcare) (wall decorations) (with templates) (origami DIY) (Project size: half a sheet of poster paper)

When you think of scenery where cherry blossoms stand out, many scenes come to mind, but the combination of a bridge and cherry blossoms especially evokes a traditional Japanese atmosphere.

This decoration recreates that quintessentially Japanese image by arranging paper pieces like elements in a painting to depict a bridge with cherry blossoms.

The key is the shape of the cherry blossom petals: by making a small slit in each petal and overlapping the cut edges, you create a three-dimensional effect.

After that, simply arrange the petal and leaf pieces on the backing paper and attach the bridge piece in one corner to finish.

It’s also fun to play with color gradients and to pay attention to the shape of the bridge.
