Just cut and paste—three-dimensional hydrangeas
Hydrangeas are soothing flowers that we often see during the rainy season, when there’s lots of rain.
Don’t you feel a little uplifted when you see hydrangeas blooming in vibrant colors in the rain? This time, let’s make a particularly eye-catching, three-dimensional hydrangea.
When you display it in your room, it’s so beautiful you might mistake it for the real thing.
Prepare some origami paper and cut it into small pieces.
Then cut several of them into flower shapes.
Roll up some flower paper and attach the flowers to it.
Since it’s just cutting and pasting, it’s easy for anyone to try.
Origami Hydrangea
Hydrangeas come in a rich array of colors, making them a delight to look at.
Even on the same plant, the color can vary from year to year, offering a once-in-a-lifetime kind of beauty.
They look gorgeous when wet with rain and pair perfectly with Japan’s gently rainy monsoon season.
Even on gloomy, rainy days, their charm makes you want to go outside for a walk just to see them.
Let’s make such hydrangeas with origami! It’s highly recommended because you can finish in no time by folding a few pieces of origami and layering them together.

A hydrangea ball bouquet made with origami and tissue paper
Hydrangeas made from tissue paper look very glamorous and really stand out.
Just displaying them in a room instantly brightens the space and brings a soothing presence.
First, prepare tissue paper, accordion-fold it, and secure it with a rubber band.
Then gently fluff open the tissue paper.
Even at this stage it looks like a beautiful hydrangea, but if you make small flowers from origami and attach them, it will look even prettier.
Next, prepare a clear file and cut it into raindrop shapes.
Combine everything together and you’ll have a stylish hydrangea ball bouquet.
Simple hydrangea
When you think of the rainy season, do hydrangea flowers come to mind? Let’s try making hydrangeas out of origami, blooming beautifully in a gentle, steady rain.
There are many ways to fold hydrangeas, but here we’ll introduce an easy method that combines multiple parts.
We’ll fold the cluster of flowers and the leaf pieces.
Since there aren’t many complicated folds, it may be easy for older adults to work on as well.
Once you glue the parts together, it’s complete.
You can hang it on the wall, stick it on a calendar, and more—the possibilities expand with your ideas.
Pink hydrangeas spilling out from the forehead
We’re pleased to introduce an adorable pink hydrangea decoration that overflows from its frame.
First, prepare small pieces of pink origami paper and cut them into quarters.
Fold each piece into a triangle twice, then stand and fold each side halfway front and back, pressing flat as you go.
Round off the left and right corners with scissors, fold one layer back, and crease it well.
Once you have the crease, open up the petal.
Repeat the same steps for all the prepared papers.
Make the leaves, and once they’re ready, start attaching everything to the frame.
Finish by placing a bead in the center of each flower.
It’s perfect as a room decor accent, too.
Hydrangea wreath making
Here’s how to make a charming wreath featuring the soft hues of hydrangeas that brighten early summer.
First, cut tissue paper into 5-centimeter squares and fold each one in half twice.
Draw a line to create rounded petals, cut along the line with scissors, then unfold.
Next, apply glue to the tip of a toothpick, press it firmly into the center of the flower, and pinch the petals.
Make many of these flowers.
Finally, create a wreath base from construction paper and glue the flowers on so there are no gaps.
Your vibrant, soothing hydrangea wreath is complete—give it a try!
cosmos
We’d like to introduce a torn-paper art project that’s perfect for the season: making cosmos flowers.
Start by sketching the outline of cosmos flowers in pencil on paper.
Then tear pieces from newspaper to prepare the parts.
When tearing the newspaper, it’s recommended to use the colored sections to make your parts.
It’s also fun to spend a moment imagining what color you want your cosmos flowers to be.
Glue the pieces onto your sketch to complete your cosmos flowers.
Moving your hands provides good exercise for the brain and can help improve concentration.
Give it a try!
