[For Seniors] Easy Sunflower Origami Craft

Sunflower and cosmos wreath decoration

Sunflower and Cosmos Paper Flower Wreath Decoration | DIY: How to Make a Paper Sunflower and Cosmos Flower Wreath [Kazari-mon]

Let me introduce a bright and cute sunflower and cosmos wreath decoration.

We’ll make the flower parts—sunflowers and cosmos—using origami.

When cutting the petals, you can create a three-dimensional shape by being mindful of the folds and cutting method.

These delicate, hands-on tasks also provide great stimulation for the brain.

For both the cosmos and sunflowers, consider varying the sizes and attach them to the wreath base with glue.

By being creative with the way you arrange and layer the flowers, you can highlight their delicacy and beauty, resulting in a lovely finished wreath.

Wreath of sunflowers and gerberas

[Craft Idea] Sunflower and Gerbera Wreaths (July–August Wall Decorations) (Summer Wreaths, Activities for Seniors, Day Service, Occupational Therapy, Crafting, Childcare, Origami, DIY, Easy 3D)

Here’s how to make a bright, summery, and festive interior item: a sunflower and gerbera wreath.

Shape yellow origami paper into flowers and glue the petals so they are slightly offset.

Cut brown origami into thin strips, glue them, snip fine fringes, and roll them up to create the sunflower seeds.

For the gerberas, make the flowers with white origami in the same way and use yellow origami for the centers.

Making small mini gerberas adds size variation and an even cuter finish.

Attach leaves to the wreath base, then decorate it with the flowers to complete.

It turns out beautifully even with materials from a 100-yen shop, so it’s highly recommended.

Torn-paper collage of sunflowers

We made a torn-paper collage of sunflowers with the service users (a small-group day service in Yamato City).

A popular recreation activity in senior care facilities is “chigiri-e,” a craft where you paste torn pieces of colored paper onto a coloring sheet.

Although the steps are simple—tearing paper by hand and gluing it down—it helps exercise the fingers and stimulate the brain.

By using yellow and brown origami paper to create summery sunflowers, you can capture a strong sense of the season.

It’s flexible and appealing because you can have a large group create one piece together or have each person make their own unique work.

No special tools are required, making it perfect for activities in day service programs and other senior facilities.

It’s a safe and enjoyable craft we highly recommend.

A lifelike sunflower made with origami

A realistic sunflower made from origami. Budget-friendly handmade craft. Use-what-you-have crafting [paper flower] [sunflower] [origami] [DIY]

Why not try making a sunflower out of origami that looks just like the real thing? All you need are yellow and brown origami paper, wire, tissue paper, and green floral tape.

First, cut the yellow origami into four equal squares and shape them into petals.

Next, cut the brown origami into thin strips and make fine slits along them.

Roll up the brown strips to create the sunflower’s center, then glue the petals onto a backing and attach the center to form the flower head.

Wrap tissue paper and green tape around the wire to make the stem, attach the flower, and you’ll have a sunflower that looks just like the real thing.

It’s full of summer charm, making it perfect as a gift or for room decor.

[100-yen DIY] Sunflowers made with tissue paper 🌻

Let’s make interior decor items that let you feel the seasons even inside your home.

Here are some sunflower ideas.

Speaking of sunflowers, they’re flowers that are at their best in the summer, when the sun blazes down.

This is a great idea for those who find it difficult to spend long hours outdoors in the hot summer.

This time, let’s make beautifully blooming sunflowers out of tissue paper.

You’ll need six sheets of yellow tissue paper, string, a ruler, scissors, glue, brown yarn, thick paper (cardboard), craft adhesive, and masking tape.

The steps are simple, so give it a try!

Flat Sunflower

Origami sunflower—simple and cute! Let’s decorate for summer! Origami sunflower tutorial! Paper DIY

Here’s an idea for making a sunflower using four sheets of origami paper! Use 15 cm paper for the flower, 7.5 cm paper for the flower’s inner part, and 6 cm paper for the stem and leaves.

First, for the flower, start with a preliminary “zabuton” fold, then fold the left and right edges to the center line.

Flatten the top and bottom sections to form a boat shape.

Next, open and squash the four pointed sections to create the petals.

For the inner part, do the zabuton fold twice and simply insert it into the center of the flower.

Roll paper to make the stem, and accordion-fold the leaves to suggest leaf veins, then glue them to the flower to finish.

You can add as many leaves as you like, and you can draw seeds in the center with a pen if you wish.
