Rose

[Paper Quilling] Easy! It turned gorgeous after making lots of roses / stay-at-home time / rose / quilling

When you think of beautiful, glamorous flowers, roses come to mind! Roses can be used in many ways, so let’s easily make them and enjoy paper quilling.

First, take a narrow strip of paper, wrap it around a tool like a nail or skewer two or three times, fold it at a right angle, then repeat wrapping two or three times to form the rose bloom.

Next, use green paper, roll it up, and shape it into leaves.

Combine these pieces and your rose is complete! Try making not only red roses, but also your favorite colors like blue or yellow.

Using trendy muted tones will also give it a sophisticated finish.

Rose wall hanging

How to make rose flowers and leaves #dayservice #daycare #daycareforolderadults #dayrehab #caregiving #olderadults #easycrafts #craftactivity #rose #rollingcoloredpaper

We’d like to introduce an original rose wall decoration made by rolling paper.

Prepare colored paper for the flowers and leaves.

For the flower, take a strip of colored paper cut thinly: randomly pleat (accordion-fold) two-thirds of the strip, leaving the remaining one-third unpleated.

Starting from the unpleated end, roll the paper; when you finish rolling, glue the end to secure it, and the flower is complete.

For the leaves, similarly roll thin strips of colored paper from one end, glue to secure, then pinch and shape them with your fingers.

For the stem, cut a long, narrow strip and lightly roll it to add a gentle curve.

Arrange and glue the flowers, stems, and leaves onto your choice of backing or base, balancing the layout, and you’re done in no time! Since there are no difficult steps, this craft can also be used as finger dexterity training in senior care facilities.

balloon flower

How to make a balloon flower (the easiest rubber balloon version, with almost everything from the 100-yen shop)

It’s a fascinating decoration with a translucent look, as if flowers are blooming inside a balloon.

If you use real flowers, they tend to get damaged when inserting them, so artificial flowers that hold their shape are recommended.

First, set the balloon onto a part made by cutting the mouth of a plastic bottle, then use the gap to insert the flowers inside.

Next, check the position of the flowers and inflate the balloon to finish.

Choosing balloons and an inflation method that let the contents be visible is important.

Adding decorations on the balloon’s surface to make the inside look even more beautiful is also recommended.

beads

<Beads> Flower * Ring * Easy to Make

This is a craft where you thread fishing line through beads to create a variety of designs.

Floral motifs are probably the classic choice.

Since you can freely design with colorful beads, you can make accessories that reflect your own style.

By arranging the beads and adjusting how tightly you pull the line, you can also create three-dimensional pieces, so it’s a craft with a wide range of variations.

Because it involves fine tasks—like threading tiny beads onto the line and tying the line—it’s also perfect for finger dexterity practice and brain training.

Carnations made of felt

[100-Yen Shop DIY] Carnations Made from Felt ♡

Mother’s Day is in May.

Some of you may have given carnations on Mother’s Day, or perhaps there are seniors who have received them.

Here is a carnation craft that’s perfect for a May project.

Use a circular template and cut matching pieces from felt.

Make small slits around the edge of the felt circles.

Poke a hole in the center of the felt and thread a wire through it.

Use a hot glue gun to attach the felt to the wire.

Layer several felt circles to form the petals.

Create leaves and tape them to the wire, which will serve as the stem, to finish.

You can make several carnations and arrange them into a bouquet.

Gerbera made of felt

What color will you make it? Gerbera made with felt [No-sew easy felt flowers] [100-yen shop DIY]

Gerberas bloom in vibrant colors like orange, red, and yellow.

Just seeing their fully spread petals can lift your spirits.

Let’s try making gerberas out of felt.

For the brown or black center of the flower, wrap thinly cut strips of felt around a wire to form the pistil.

Then cut felt into petal shapes, wrap them, and attach them as well.

The finished gerberas are nice because older adults can display them at home.

Making several and arranging them into a bouquet to give to a senior celebrating a birthday would likely be very well received.

Carnations made of felt

[Handmade for Mother's Day] Felt Carnation — carnation

Carnations are a flower famously given for Mother’s Day.

Why not try making one by hand to express your gratitude? You’ll need red and green felt and some wire.

First, make the flower.

Prepare a strip of red felt cut lengthwise, and snip it so it’s divided into eight sections.

Trim the cut sections into wavy edges to shape them.

Thread a string through the uncut edge and pull it tight.

As it gathers, pinch it with wire and sew it together with the flower.

Make three of these and bundle them, then wrap them with a larger flower piece.

Use green felt to create the calyx and leaves, gather the wires, and secure them with tape.

You now have a heartfelt carnation that will never wilt.

Give it a try!
