A hydrangea ball bouquet made with origami and tissue paper

Hydrangea wall decorations and ball bouquets made with origami and tissue paper / raindrops from clear files — How to make paper hydrangea wall decorations and ball bouquets

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.

Cosmos wreath

[Origami] How to Make a Cosmos Wreath / How to Make Cosmos Wreath

A “cosmos wreath” is a great origami craft for seniors.

By expressing the autumn-symbolizing cosmos in colorful origami, simply displaying it in a room can bring in the feeling of fall.

Carefully folding each cosmos flower gives the piece a warm, heartfelt touch.

Sharing the making process with others lets everyone enjoy the fun of origami and the pleasant feel of paper.

Since origami uses fine motor skills, it can also stimulate brain activity and may enhance thinking and imagination.

Adding a heartfelt message card is also recommended, as it conveys your feelings even more.

Double heart hanging ornament

[Origami] Double Heart Decoration - Easy, Cute - Valentine’s Day, White Day, Birthday

A glamorous and cute double-heart origami decoration.

First, divide a 15 cm square sheet of origami paper into eight vertical strips to make long, thin bands.

One double heart can be made from four bands.

Fold one band in half with the colored side facing out, and another band in half with the white side facing out.

Sandwich the colored-side-out band between two full-length bands, then place the white-side-out band on top and staple them together.

Starting from the outer parts, curl each piece inward and down, staple to secure, punch a hole, and hang with thread—and it’s done.

It’s nice that the steps are so simple!

Koinobori hanging decoration

[Easy] 🎏 How to Make Koinobori (Carp Streamers) 🎏 Just cut and paste ✨ [100-yen shop origami] How to make carp-shaped streamers

Koinobori look magnificent as they swim grandly through the sky and are a seasonal symbol of spring and early summer.

Let’s make a hanging decoration so you can enjoy koinobori indoors, too.

Use washi-patterned origami or regular origami to create the body of the koinobori and add the eyes.

Then thread the koinobori onto a string, make the fins and tail, and you’re done.

If you make several koinobori and hang them on the same string, it’s like seeing the magoi (black carp), higoi (red carp), and more together.

Watching the gently swaying indoor koinobori hanging decoration, some older adults may feel the arrival of May.

Sonobe-style kusudama

Origami Kusudama (Sonobe) – 12 pieces

Here is a kusudama made using the Sonobe-style unit, devised by Japanese modular origami artist Mitsunobu Sonobe.

First, modular origami is a technique in which you fold multiple identical paper parts and assemble them to create geometric works.

Since the parts are all folded in the same way, once you learn it, the folding itself should be easy.

The assembly, however, requires some tips and may feel challenging for some older adults.

Please have those around them offer support tailored to their needs and try making it together.

By changing the number of parts and how you combine them, you can create works other than kusudama as well, so why not give it a try?
