In May, you sometimes see wisteria trellises in parks and at temples, don’t you? Some older adults may even look forward to wisteria flowers and trellises when spring arrives.

With that in mind, here’s a calendar project featuring wisteria.

Make individual wisteria blossoms with origami and attach them to the calendar.

If you create plenty of blossoms, you can make a calendar that evokes a wisteria trellis.

This way, even older adults who find it difficult to go out can recall the beauty of wisteria through making the calendar.

Koinobori (Yaneyori Takai) – Junko Nakagawa

Some households probably still display carp streamers (koinobori) for Children’s Day and the Boys’ Festival.

These days, fewer families raise koinobori, though.

Still, some older adults may remember putting them up at home.

Here’s a koinobori calendar that might bring back those memories.

We’ll make carp streamers out of origami rolled into a tube.

For the scales, use flower-shaped punch-outs made from origami paper.

You can make adorable koinobori.

Using red or blue origami is classic, but creating them with your favorite patterns will make for a fun project.

Making a calendar with irises

Iris?

Here is a calendar featuring irises made from origami.

Irises are beloved as an early-summer tradition, and they are said to be at their best around mid-May.

Some older adults may visit parks or temples to see them in full bloom.

While making origami irises, older adults might also recall past May memories, which could spark lively conversation.

The calendar can be made while seated, making it an activity that many older adults can comfortably take part in.

Hanko Calendar

2021 Calendar #2: A Calendar Made with Stamps (April, May, June Edition) OKAPI CRAFT HOBBY

Let me introduce a stamp calendar that brings a sense of everyday life.

First, prepare a base calendar where the dates are clearly visible at a glance.

For the stamps, I recommend seasonal illustration stamps.

If you also have bright stamp ink colors, you might be able to create a more vibrant calendar.

Make sure to leave enough space on the calendar so there’s room to place your stamps.

It’s also a great idea to add stickers or tear pieces of washi origami paper and paste them on.

Once it’s finished, decorate your room with it and enjoy!

Making a Yamabuki calendar

Day Service Konosu: Cherished Koubouan – May Calendar Production

Yamabuki, with its distinctive orange-tinged yellow flowers, can sometimes be seen along mountains and rivers from April to May.

This time, we’re introducing a calendar featuring yamabuki as the theme.

Make yamabuki flowers out of origami or construction paper and attach them to the calendar.

It’s also a great idea to craft butterflies and bees to go along with it.

The finished calendar should give older adults a sense of accomplishment from having created something themselves.

In addition, making the calendar offers a chance to think about the seasons and the dates while working on the project.

How to Fold an Origami Calendar [May / Clover Edition]

May is a warm and refreshing season, isn’t it? In parks and fields, you can often find plenty of clovers and white clover in bloom.

Here’s a calendar that evokes those May landscapes.

Let’s make a clover-shaped calendar using a commercially available craft kit.

By folding the printed calendar sheet, you can create a calendar in the shape of a clover.

The folding steps are mostly simple, so it should be easy for older adults to enjoy as well.

Sit in a chair and try making it while chatting with the people around you.

Making a calendar with pressed flowers

A simple way to make a pressed flower calendar! Great as a gift, too!!

When May comes around, you often see flower beds and planters beautifully filled with colorful blooms, don’t you? Here’s a calendar that uses pressed flowers, reminiscent of a flower meadow.

Pressed pansies, gerberas, and white clover might be nice choices.

Let’s start by attaching the pressed flowers to the calendar backing.

Place the pressed flowers wherever you like on the backing.

The beauty of pressed flowers may bring a sense of calm even to older adults.

It seems you can make pressed flowers using an iron or a microwave.

Why not try making pressed flowers yourself?
