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.

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!
