Here are some flower craft ideas for older adults.

Why not try making seasonal flowers—like tulips, hydrangeas, sunflowers, and cherry blossoms—using tissue paper, construction paper, or origami paper?

In addition to crafts that create the flowers themselves, there are plenty of cute and charming ideas for wall decorations and displays, as well as projects that you’ll want to give as gifts to family and friends once they’re finished.

These are recommended not only for those who love flowers and crafting, but also for anyone looking to exercise their fingers and hands.

Handmade paper flowers never wilt, so once you make them, you can enjoy your favorite blossoms for a long time.

A clover flower crown

An irresistibly cute finish that’s sure to make your heart flutter! Here are some ideas for a white clover flower crown.

Many of you may have made flower crowns with white clover or clovers when you were little, right? This fun craft will bring back those memories.

You’ll need a stapler, white and pale light-green tissue paper, scissors, green pipe cleaners, and green duct tape.

After making white clover blossoms and clover leaves out of tissue paper or paper tape, twist and wrap them together just like you would when making a real white clover crown to complete it!

How to Make Hibiscus-Inspired Paper Flowers

hibiscus

Recommended when you want a taste of summer! Here are some hibiscus ideas.

Speaking of hibiscus, it’s one of the flowers that represent Okinawa.

It’s also designated as Hawaii’s state flower, so many people may associate it with the tropics.

This time, let’s make tissue-paper hibiscus flowers so you can enjoy a tropical vibe indoors.

What you’ll need: double-sided tape, string, tissue paper, yellow tissue paper cut into 3 cm-wide strips, floristry wire, and scissors.

Many people probably imagine red when they think of hibiscus, but since there’s a wide range of colors, it could be fun to experiment with different variations.

morning glory

Introducing how to make morning glories (Asagao) with newspaper collage art [newspaper-collage art]

morning glory

Let me introduce a torn-paper collage using newspaper that perfectly matches the gentle feel of morning glories.

Look for pink- and purple-toned areas in the newspaper and tear them into circles.

Heart shapes are great too.

Use greenish parts of the newspaper to tear and create leaves and vines.

Once you paste them onto a postcard, it transforms into a lovely picture postcard.

By using various parts of the newspaper as you create, you might make new discoveries.

Let’s appreciate everyone’s finished pieces together to enhance communication and enjoy a sense of accomplishment from what we made.

You’ll need a foam wreath form, tissue paper, cardstock, scissors, glue, toothpicks, and rhinestone stickers.

Blue poinsettia

Kimie Gangi: “Blue Poinsettia” made with tissue paper #easy #beautiful #Christmas #winterWallDecor #activitiesForSeniors #3D #diycrafts #storage #utilityModelPending

Blue poinsettia

Let’s make a blue poinsettia with tissue paper that has a charming, fluffy petal look.

First, stack two sheets of blue tissue paper, accordion-fold them, and then fold the strip in half.

Next, cut off all the corners on the sides that are mountain folds at a diagonal, open it up, and staple along the center crease.

Make another one the same way using light blue tissue paper.

Once you have two pieces, gently fluff the tissue to give it volume, layer the blue tissue paper on top of the light blue one, and glue them together.

Finally, glue a few white polystyrene beads in the center of the flower to finish.

Cherry blossom decoration made of paper

Easy Cherry Blossom Paper Decorations with a Stapler (with audio commentary)

Cherry blossom decoration made of paper

We’d like to introduce a cherry blossom craft that’s perfect as a mobile part that sways gently indoors when hung with a string.

Prepare several sheets of construction paper cut into long, thin rectangles.

Fold the paper and staple the ends to create cherry blossoms.

Older adults may find themselves recalling past experiences as they work.

Conversations might blossom too—about flower-viewing under the cherry trees or memorable moments from cherry blossom season.

Making many and decorating a wall to form a large cherry tree would be lovely as well.

Please try arranging them in various ways and create your own cherry blossom pieces.
