[For Seniors] Perfect Finger Exercises! Seasonal Flower Origami

Simple bouquetNEW!

A simple origami bouquet 💐 Great for kindergarten and school graduations too! #preschoolcrafts #handmadecrafts #Februarycrafts #origami #artproject #handmade #Marchcrafts #handmadebouquet #bouquethowto

This origami piece stands out for its three-dimensional look, achieved by adding creative touches to the petal expression.

By leaving a border and making vertical slits in the paper, then curling them to create petals that clearly convey the feel of the seasonal event, a softly spreading flower shape emerges.

The work isn’t overly intricate, but the degree of opening changes depending on how you curl the strips, so it’s important to proceed with the final result in mind.

Bundling several together adds volume and creates a bouquet-like form.

Varying the color combinations changes the impression, allowing you to enjoy arrangements tailored to where you’ll display them.

Two types of hanging decorations with plum blossomsNEW!

Two types of cute paper plum blossom decorations (with audio commentary) – How to make

How about a plum-blossom decoration that’s very simple yet instantly adds a festive touch just by displaying it? Here are two types of hanging ornaments you can make with colored construction paper.

Prepare five strips each of 2 cm × 15 cm and 2 cm × 10 cm paper.

Stack two strips, align the ends, staple them, and round them into a petal shape.

Make five of these in the same way and glue them together.

Finish by attaching a circular piece of paper in the center.

For the second type, cut two sheets of origami into circles, shape each into petals, then cut one to create a three-dimensional effect and glue them together.

Once both types of plum blossoms are finished, use string or ribbon to make them into hanging ornaments.

They sway beautifully as elegant plum-blossom decorations.

Double-flowered, softly three-dimensional peach blossomsNEW!

[Origami/Hinamatsuri] Layered-bloom style 🌸 Soft 3D Peach Blossom Tutorial | How to Make Layered Origami Peach Blossoms

This origami piece—featuring a soft, eye-catching, double-flowered, three-dimensional peach blossom—has a striking presence when displayed.

Its hallmark is the process of layering petals; by shaping each one individually, you achieve a gently fluffy finish.

Unlike flat works, the completed piece can stand on a wall shelf or tabletop, which adds to its appeal.

By varying color gradations or adding a small touch to the center, you can create different expressions using the same method.

It’s an origami idea that lets you fully enjoy both the hands-on, imaginative process of shaping with your fingertips and the satisfaction when it’s complete.

yaezakura (double-flowered cherry blossoms)NEW!

[No pattern needed] Easy double-flowered cherry blossoms with origami — a luxurious spring wall decoration! For childcare and eldercare activities. How to make Easy Origami Cherry Blossoms (Double-flowered Sakura)

Cherry blossoms are a motif that symbolizes spring in Japan, and their soft colors really convey the warmth of the season.

This decoration expresses cherry blossoms with origami, layering petals to create a double-flowered yaezakura finish.

The tree is attached flat onto a background mount, and then three-dimensional flower pieces are arranged on top.

Doubling the flowers is a key point for adding depth, and giving them creases so they appear slightly lifted enhances the three-dimensional effect.

Letting small petals seem to dance around suggests a spring breeze, which is also recommended.

[Origami] Peach Flower 3D Folding Method - Origami Peach Flower Tutorial (NiceNo1)

Peach blossoms, which bloom as spring grows warmer, are known to share many similarities with cherry blossoms, such as their small pink flowers.

Let’s create peach blossoms that capture that beauty and warmth by making a three-dimensional version with origami.

First, cut the origami paper into a pentagon.

Using the creases—which also serve as guides—fold it into a shape with five pointed directions.

From there, shape each tip into a petal, and you’re done.

It’s a design where precise small refolds are key.

The reverse side of the paper also becomes part of the design, so the impression will change depending on the color you choose.

Nemophila

[Origami] Easy and Cute Nemophila Folding Method ◇ Origami Nemophila Flower — Spring Blue Flower ◇

Nemophila, with its gentle blue blossoms and petite size, softly colors the spring season.

This project recreates nemophila flowers with origami, combining pieces to bring out their delicate charm.

Fold the paper finely toward the center to form five petals, then stack and assemble them to create the nemophila bloom.

Adding small touches—like staggering the layers during assembly or slightly bending the front edges—helps create a three-dimensional look.

Lining up flowers in different shades to make a gradient also seems like a lovely idea.
