There seem to be many types of origami morning glory creations.

Some have a white center like real morning glories, and some can be folded in a three-dimensional form.

Let’s try making a calendar using lovely morning glory origami pieces.

After folding the morning glory, attach it to the calendar backing.

If you also make leaves and vines out of origami and display them together with the flower, it will enhance the overall feel even more.

Because origami uses fine finger movements, it can also be expected to help stimulate the brain.

If you like, please use this as a reference for creating your own beautiful pieces.

Morning Glory Hanging-Scroll-Style Calendar

Puppy's Walk (feat. HKP) – ALL BGM CHANNEL & MimiTV

Let me introduce a hanging scroll-style calendar featuring morning glories.

The calendars you make are usually displayed on a wall or on a table, right? Some older adults might find themselves thinking, while looking at their own calendars, “My calendars always end up in the same style.” A hanging scroll-style calendar, which is a bit different from the usual, might feel fresh even to seniors who have grown tired of making calendars.

After making the calendar, mount it on a backing sheet, and attach tubes at the top and bottom of the backing so that a cord can pass through them.

Thread a cord only through the top tube, and it’s complete.

It seems likely that older adults will enjoy this calendar’s different look and feel.

Authentic morning glory made with five sheets of origami

[Origami] How to make a morning glory / How to make origami 'Morning Glory'.

Let’s make a beautiful three-dimensional morning glory! You’ll use five sheets of origami to create one bloom, so the difficulty may be a bit high.

Make five parts, then assemble and glue them together.

To prevent the glue from coming off, it’s a good idea to hold the pieces in place with clips or clothespins as you work.

For the finishing touch, slightly fold the rim to give the morning glory a 3D look.

You can also change the size of the sheets to make morning glories in different sizes—give it a try!

Morning glory curtain

Kimie Gangi Summer Wall Display: “Morning Glory Curtain” – Super Easy! Origami Morning Glories #morningglory #asagao #JulyWallDisplay #AugustWallDisplay #SeniorRecreation #origami

Would you like to recreate a morning glory curtain that decorates a summer veranda using origami? The more you make, the more gorgeous the wall display will become, so try creating it to match the size of your space and walls, and the mood of your room.

You make the morning glory flowers by folding origami paper, rounding the edges with scissors, and then opening it up.

Make the leaves and vines by cutting construction paper, too.

The base is made by gluing together strips cut from construction paper.

Arrange the vines, leaves, and morning glory flowers on this base.

If you let some parts extend slightly beyond the edges when you glue them, it will look more realistic.

It would also be lovely to create a large piece together with seniors at a day service center.

shaved ice

[Craft Fair Booth] Let’s make shaved ice♪ Easy craft! Festival vibes! Make it and have fun!

This is a shaved-ice craft project that lets seniors, who may find it hard to go out in extreme heat, enjoy the feel of a summer festival right at home! You can make it with everyday materials, so it’s a great activity to do with your grandkids.

Decorate a paper cup with the kanji for “ice” or wave patterns, fill it with craft cotton, and sprinkle hand-torn tissue on top.

Next, mix water and watercolor paint to make shaved-ice syrup.

You can also mix starch glue with paint to create sweetened condensed milk—give it a try! Finish by drizzling on the syrup and condensed milk.

By changing the paint colors—red, green, blue, and more—you can “make” different shaved-ice flavors and have fun experimenting!

It spins so well! A morning-glory top.

[Origami] Morning glory becomes a spinning top?! Let’s make a morning glory arrangement: the “spinning top”! How to make an origami top (Morning glory arrangement).

This is a craft where you attach an axle to a morning glory shape made from origami so you can spin it and play.

When it’s not spinning, it has an angular form with a star pattern in the center, giving the impression that it could be seen as a morning glory, but the fun part is that when you rotate it, it clearly looks like one.

You combine five origami-made parts to create the morning glory shape, and by inserting each piece firmly, it becomes sturdy.

After that, just fix the parts in place, attach the axle, and it’s complete.

It ends up slightly concave toward the center, which also makes it easier to spin.
