Morning glory wreath

[Craft] Origami “Morning Glory Wreath” [With Voice Commentary] | Origami Morning Glory

Here’s an idea for a seasonal, handmade decoration for older adults that captures the colors of summer: a Morning Glory Wreath.

Make the wreath base by connecting strips of brown origami paper into a circle, then add morning glory flowers and buds using pink and blue origami paper.

Cut leaves and vines from green origami paper and paste them on while checking the overall balance to finish.

This all-paper project is easy to start, and it’s fun to play with color schemes and shapes, giving a sense of accomplishment with each completed piece.

Display it in a room to spread a summery atmosphere—an uplifting decoration that brightens the mood every time you see it.

A heartwarming craft that cherishes the spirit of the season.

Morning Glory ~Wire Craft~

Craft Idea: Morning Glory – Wire Craft (July–August, Summer) (Wall Decorations, Recreational Activities for Seniors, Occupational Therapy OT, Day Service) (Origami, Flexible Wire) (DIY)

Let us introduce a summertime craft for seniors that offers a slightly mature, elegant atmosphere: the Morning Glory Wire Craft.

Using soft craft wire, you can freely bend and shape the petals and vines of morning glories, creating a delicate piece that highlights the beauty of clean lines.

By layering and attaching colored paper or tissue paper at the center of the flowers, you add dimension and color for a more authentic morning glory look.

As you intertwine wire-made leaves and vines, a dynamic design emerges.

The finished piece is perfect for hanging on a wall or displaying by a window.

It’s a refined, refreshing craft that invites focus and imagination.

Goldfish made with paper quilling

How to Make a Paper Goldfish – DIY

Let’s try making a goldfish with paper quilling, a craft where you roll narrow strips of paper to create various shapes.

Basically, you wind the paper around a thin stick like a toothpick to make coils, then loosen, pinch, and shape them into parts.

You’ll need six parts for the goldfish: one for the head and body together, three for the tail fin, and one each for the dorsal and pectoral fins.

Once the parts are ready, assemble and glue them together, then add beads for the eyes.

Create a base by gluing paper cord into a spiral, attach the goldfish to it, and you’ll have a summery wall decoration.

[Easy ✨ Tissue Paper & Origami] How to Make a Goldfish Hanging Ornament 🐠 Wall Decoration [All from the 100-Yen Shop] A Summer Tradition to Boost Cool Vibes 🎐

Here’s an introduction to a hanging goldfish decoration that gives a cool, refreshing feel.

The goldfish are made by crumpling tissue paper and wrapping it with colored flower paper.

Attach a string to the goldfish’s back.

Next, make a fishbowl from construction paper that the goldfish can fit into.

Cut a circular shape like a donut by removing the center.

Using another circular piece of construction paper for the bottom part of the fishbowl, create and paste water plants from transparent chiyogami paper.

The shape of the fishbowl can be whatever you like.

Hang the goldfish together with the fishbowl to finish.

A folding screen ornament with goldfish motifs

Goldfish Folding Screen Decoration [Origami Craft] [100-Yen DIY] [Summer Craft] #100yen #daiso #diy #recreation #easycraft #dayservice #craft #senior #summer #goldfish

Here’s an introduction to a goldfish folding screen decoration that you can display in your room once it’s finished.

We’ll make goldfish out of origami.

You can fold the goldfish, or simply cut them out in a goldfish shape—either works.

Using origami paper with traditional Japanese patterns or other designs will make it look even nicer.

If you make slits and creases in the construction paper that will become the folding screen, you can create a more design-forward piece.

Attach the goldfish to the screen and it’s complete.

Just placing it in your room will let you feel a refreshing coolness from the goldfish.

Suzuran tape comes in a variety of colors.

It’s a flat plastic bag-type tape that expands the possibilities for crafts.

Prepare cutouts shaped like illustrations of sea creatures such as fish, octopuses, and jellyfish.

Attach them to several strands of Suzuran tape, hang them up, and you’re done.

Using blue or light blue Suzuran tape enhances the ocean atmosphere even more.

For the sea creatures, coloring pages are fine, or you can have seniors draw them.

You can also find sea creature illustrations online, which makes it easy to try.
