Origami is a wonderful hobby that lets you enjoy the charm of the seasons.

Seasonal creations—like spring clovers, summer festival coats (happi), and autumn maple leaves—have a mysterious way of warming the heart.

Here, we introduce seasonal origami that can be enjoyed together with older adults.

Beyond their visual beauty, these activities can also help stimulate the brain through fingertip movements.

Most of the designs are simple and easy to fold, so seniors can join in comfortably.

They’re perfect for facility events or spending quality time with family.

[Origami] How to Make a Mini Rapeseed Flower Wreath
Mini wreath of rape blossoms

This mini wreath, compactly shaped into a small ring and packed with the bright cheer of rape blossoms, is an origami piece that combines easy display with a touch of splendor.

Its hallmark is the process of making each yellow flower individually and arranging them with an eye for balance, advancing while envisioning the final look.

Rather than a simple repetition of steps, the placement of each flower changes the impression, making it enjoyable to experiment.

Another appeal is that once finished, it can be displayed almost anywhere—on walls, doors, or bulletin boards.

Lining up multiple wreaths creates a cohesive look that brightens the entire space.

It’s a seasonal origami idea that lets you enjoy both the making and the decorating.

When you look at an origami kusudama, you can’t help but be captivated by its beautiful form, can you? Among older adults, there are surely people who want to fold kusudama or who simply enjoy making them.

Kusudama often feature bright colors and shapes that seem difficult to create.

That’s because they use many parts made from multiple sheets of origami paper.

When making the parts, folding several sheets together at once may make the process easier.

The key is to fold even the finer sections in batches.

Try creating a wonderful piece together with older adults in whatever way is easiest to fold.

Here’s an introduction to a cute peach blossom wreath made with origami.

Both the wreath base and the peach blossoms are created by combining individual parts.

Origami involves thinking ahead to the next steps and the finished piece, so it’s said to have brain-training benefits.

Here’s a lovely idea featuring beautifully colorful hydrangeas and a little snail.

First, prepare small sheets of origami paper.

Crease the paper, secure it with a stapler, then open it up to form a flower.

Once you’ve made about ten, gather the flowers and glue them together.

If you attach them closely, you can create a full, realistic hydrangea look.

With such pretty hydrangeas, even the snail seems to be having fun.

Even on gloomy, rain-prone days, this decoration will brighten up your room—so give it a try!
