Simple hydrangea

When you think of the rainy season, do hydrangea flowers come to mind? Let’s try making hydrangeas out of origami, blooming beautifully in a gentle, steady rain.

There are many ways to fold hydrangeas, but here we’ll introduce an easy method that combines multiple parts.

We’ll fold the cluster of flowers and the leaf pieces.

Since there aren’t many complicated folds, it may be easy for older adults to work on as well.

Once you glue the parts together, it’s complete.

You can hang it on the wall, stick it on a calendar, and more—the possibilities expand with your ideas.

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.
