rapeseed blossoms

Kimie Gangi: Make “rape blossoms” (nanohana) with tissue paper and flyer sticks #fluffy #howtomakespringflowers #howtomakenanohana #tissuepaperart #elderly

Rapeseed blossoms are cute yellow flowers that bloom in spring.

This time, let’s try making rapeseed flowers with tissue paper.

When making them with tissue paper, you’ll be folding and cutting, so it involves delicate work.

If older adults are using scissors, please be mindful of safety.

Then attach the rapeseed blossoms to the stem one by one.

Let’s also make the leaves out of tissue paper.

Rapeseed leaves have distinctive features, and adding wrinkles is the key.

field of rapeseed flowers

[Craft Idea] Flowers from Winter to Spring: Rapeseed Blossoms (Canola) Crafts (February/March Spring) (Senior Recreation) (Wall Decorations) (Origami) (Early Childhood Education) (Creative) (Easy) (Flower Crafts)

A wall decoration themed around a field of rapeseed blossoms is a great idea for creating a bright, spring-like atmosphere.

Cut origami paper in half, fold it into small sections, and crease it.

Cut along the creases to form a square, then round the edges to shape the petals.

The key is to add a gentle curl to the petals.

Place the pieces you’ve made on top of a ball of crumpled origami paper.

For the stems, cut paper into rectangles, bend them into a bow shape, and give them a curve.

Make two types of leaves and add wrinkles to recreate a more realistic rapeseed field.

The gluing process also serves as fine motor exercise and is recommended for those who enjoy detailed work.

These are stylish wisteria flowers with a simple silhouette.

First, cut purple origami paper into four equal squares, fold each into a smaller square, and round off the corners with scissors.

Apply glue to the white side, shape it like a cone, and make the petals.

Next, cut light-green origami into thin strips, connect them end to end, and attach the petals in pairs along the strip.

Tip: attach only one petal at the very bottom.

Finally, combine everything with leaves made from light-green origami and branches made from brown origami to complete the piece.

You’ll want lots of petals, so it’s a great idea to divide up the work and make them together.
