[For Seniors] Add Color to Your Room: A Collection of Flower Craft Ideas

Authentic morning glory made with five sheets of origami

[Origami] How to make a morning glory / How to make origami 'Morning Glory'.

Let’s make a beautiful three-dimensional morning glory! You’ll use five sheets of origami to create one bloom, so the difficulty may be a bit high.

Make five parts, then assemble and glue them together.

To prevent the glue from coming off, it’s a good idea to hold the pieces in place with clips or clothespins as you work.

For the finishing touch, slightly fold the rim to give the morning glory a 3D look.

You can also change the size of the sheets to make morning glories in different sizes—give it a try!

SUMMER Garland

【Origami】Sunflower Paper Fan - SUMMER Garland

This SUMMER garland will instantly brighten up any room with a lively vibe! It’s also great as a wall decoration at home or in senior care facilities, so give it a try.

First, attach a half-cut piece of brown origami paper to the center of a yellow-toned sheet.

Make two identical pieces, accordion-fold each one, and connect them.

While folded, round off both ends with scissors, tie a string at the center, open it into a circle, and secure the two seams with clips or glue—and you’re done! You can also have fun customizing it by adding not only sunflower blooms but also leaves and other summery motifs.

Morning glory curtain

Kimie Gangi Summer Wall Display: “Morning Glory Curtain” – Super Easy! Origami Morning Glories #morningglory #asagao #JulyWallDisplay #AugustWallDisplay #SeniorRecreation #origami

Would you like to recreate a morning glory curtain that decorates a summer veranda using origami? The more you make, the more gorgeous the wall display will become, so try creating it to match the size of your space and walls, and the mood of your room.

You make the morning glory flowers by folding origami paper, rounding the edges with scissors, and then opening it up.

Make the leaves and vines by cutting construction paper, too.

The base is made by gluing together strips cut from construction paper.

Arrange the vines, leaves, and morning glory flowers on this base.

If you let some parts extend slightly beyond the edges when you glue them, it will look more realistic.

It would also be lovely to create a large piece together with seniors at a day service center.

Strawberry wreath

[100-yen shop DIY] Handmade Strawberry Wreath with Felt / No Pattern Needed / Easy / Spring / felt / handmade / craft / wreath / strawberry

Here’s a spring-like strawberry wreath you can make with supplies from a 100-yen shop.

First, prepare the wreath base.

Apply glue and wrap yarn around it so there are no gaps.

For the strawberries, use red felt—you can also use red gingham fabric.

Cut the felt into circles, then fold each circle in half and cut.

Stitch small seed patterns with thread.

Fold each half-circle in half again, sew along the top edge, open it once to stuff with filling, then close it up.

Make the calyx from green felt and glue it on to finish the strawberry.

Use more green felt for leaves and white felt for flowers, then glue them onto the wreath to complete it.

The arrangement can create many different looks, so you’ll end up with a unique wreath of your own.

Give it a try!

Flower keychain

I tried making a flower keychain with 100-yen shop materials 🌼 #shorts

Let’s weave the yarn threaded through the keychain part and shape it into a flower.

Using not only yarn but also thicker materials like colored cords is recommended, as they offer different design possibilities and make your hands easier to see while working.

It’s a simple process: layer yarn of a different color over the yarn threaded through the part’s hole and braid it while paying attention to the order.

Be particular about your choices of colors and materials and how you layer them, and create your own unique design.

The way you tighten the layered yarn will also change the overall look, so it could be fun to try various patterns.

a flower bouquet

Origami how to fold flowers, bouquet, Mother’s Day – how to make a paper flower bouquet

A bouquet of colorful flowers conveys a happy vibe and feels perfect for spring.

This project shows how to make those flowers with origami, then bundle them into a colorful, three-dimensional bouquet.

The key is how each flower is made: first crease it by folding toward the center, then use those creases as guides to shape it so the petals open up.

You’ll be making many fine creases, so some wrinkles will appear along the way—but that might also add to the flowers’ softness.

Try using different origami papers and aim for a bright, colorful bouquet.

Flower memo stand

Also great as a gift 🥹🫶💕 #shorts

Here’s an introduction to a recreation craft using plastic bottle caps.

First, prepare two plastic bottles.

Put them together and wrap them all around with double-sided tape, except for the bottom.

Wrap brown paper cord around the outside.

At the top, wind a brown pipe cleaner around and stick it on.

If you add double-sided tape at the top and wrap a ribbon around it, it will look cute.

Poke a hole in the pipe cleaner and shape a pink pipe cleaner into a flower.

Attach it to the pipe cleaner that will serve as the stem, and insert it into the hole you made.

Your flower pot is complete! Have fun making it!
