Pink hydrangeas spilling out from the forehead

Pink hydrangeas peeking out from the frame #origami #종이접기 #craft

We’re pleased to introduce an adorable pink hydrangea decoration that overflows from its frame.

First, prepare small pieces of pink origami paper and cut them into quarters.

Fold each piece into a triangle twice, then stand and fold each side halfway front and back, pressing flat as you go.

Round off the left and right corners with scissors, fold one layer back, and crease it well.

Once you have the crease, open up the petal.

Repeat the same steps for all the prepared papers.

Make the leaves, and once they’re ready, start attaching everything to the frame.

Finish by placing a bead in the center of each flower.

It’s perfect as a room decor accent, too.

Three-dimensional water lilies

Origami in June — Water Lilies

Water lilies blooming in ponds and marshes in parks and temples have a dreamy atmosphere.

During the flowering season, some older adults may go to view them as well.

Because they evoke an image of water, they’re a perfect flower for June origami projects.

Water lilies are known for their distinctive petals, which can be long and slender or rounded.

If you fold the origami first and then cut, you can create beautiful petals.

Layer the petal pieces to complete the water lily flower.

You can also make leaves out of origami and place them with the flower.

It’s also recommended to stick them on a June calendar.

Simple and cute morning glories

Easy and Cute Morning Glory Origami Instructions

Let me show you how to make a simple and cute morning glory out of origami.

Start with a sheet of purple origami paper, crease it vertically and horizontally, then fold it down into a smaller shape.

Flip it over, add some patterning, and begin shaping the flower.

If you also make leaves with green origami paper, it will really bring out the flower’s colors.

A single bloom looks cute on its own, but layering several flowers makes an even nicer display.

There are lots of fine, fingertip-sized steps, but if it feels difficult, try using larger origami paper to make it easier.

Give it a try!

Wisteria flowers made with origami

[Origami Spring Flowers] How to Fold a Wisteria Flower | Origami Wisteria

Here’s an idea for wisteria flowers that will instantly brighten up a room when hung from walls or the ceiling.

Prepare origami paper in purple, light purple, yellow-green, and green, then fold the flowers and leaves.

Make the flowers using origami cut in half.

Fold the paper in half lengthwise, unfold it, and then fold both edges inward along the center crease.

Some of the steps are a bit detailed, but using your hands skillfully can help prevent cognitive decline.

The more wisteria flowers you make, the fuller and more beautiful the result will be, so please have the seniors divide the work and create them together.

Origami artwork: wisteria flowers

Origami Work: Wisteria

Let’s try making origami wisteria flowers in the style of tsumami-zaiku (pinching craft).

Fold the origami paper in half, then fold again leaving a small gap at the center and glue it in place.

Turn it over, fold in half, and glue the pointed tip side.

Insert a thin, elongated stick into the crease and gently spread it to create volume.

Make many petals using purple or light purple origami and layer them.

Create long, thin sticks, assemble them in a lattice-like structure, and attach the wisteria flowers to finish.

This project helps with hand exercise and rehabilitation, stimulating the brain and potentially aiding in dementia prevention.

How about using it as a recreational activity in a senior care facility?
