[Origami Japanese Cherry Blossoms] / Origami Cherry Blossom / Origami Flower / origamicherryblossom / cherryblossomdecoration / origamiflower

A background with traditional Japanese patterns enhances the beauty that feels uniquely Japanese.

So this time, we’re introducing an idea for making “Japanese cherry blossoms” with origami.

By placing pale pink cherry blossoms on backing paper with crepe (chirimen) motifs or classic patterns, you can create an elegant piece reminiscent of a folding screen painting.

Even if the folding method is simple, pairing it with the right background makes it look much more striking.

It’s easy enough for older adults to do without strain, and once finished, it can be enjoyed as a decoration in an entryway or common area.

This origami project, which lets you enjoy both Japanese taste and a sense of the season, is perfect for a calming, hands-on moment.

Please give it a try!

Origami easy! How to make a flower (lily) / Paper flower (lily) crafts step by step [instructions]

Lilies, which are in season from early summer through summer, come in various colors, but they’re often associated with a beautiful white image.

This piece shows how to create such a white, beautiful lily in three dimensions by combining origami.

The idea is to fold with the final spreading in mind, and making precise, even folds will lead to a beautiful result.

When you spread it open, curving the petals is also key—this helps create a solid sense of three-dimensionality.

Adding a stem afterward makes it easier to display, so it’s highly recommended.

Let’s make a four-leaf clover—symbol of happiness—out of origami.

Three-dimensional dandelion

Introducing how to make 3D dandelion flowers using origami! Perfect as spring decorations for March and April—why not make some and hang them on your wall? [Tsukuru-mon]

The dandelion, which blooms with vivid yellow flowers, is a familiar flower even to older adults.

Some people may have made flower crowns with dandelions.

In this article, we introduce dandelion-themed ideas that represent spring.

Cut yellow origami paper into one-quarter width strips lengthwise.

Fold it so it becomes long and narrow, then glue two pieces together and make many small slits.

Be careful not to cut all the way through! Roll it up tightly from one end and secure it with glue to complete the flower.

Make a stem and leaves, and decorate a frame to finish.

It’s a gentle craft that lets you feel the arrival of spring.
