Hydrangeas and a snail

Easy with a stapler: Make a hydrangea with origami (with audio commentary)

Here’s a lovely idea featuring beautifully colorful hydrangeas and a little snail.

First, prepare small sheets of origami paper.

If you don’t have small ones, you can quarter a standard sheet to make the same size.

Crease the paper, secure it with a stapler, then open it up to form a flower.

Once you’ve made about ten, gather the flowers and glue them together.

If you attach them closely, you can create a full, realistic hydrangea look.

With such pretty hydrangeas, even the snail seems to be having fun.

Even on gloomy, rain-prone days, this decoration will brighten up your room—so give it a try!

Just cut and paste: three-dimensional origami hydrangea

[Origami] Just cut and paste ✨ How to make hydrangeas

We’d like to introduce a three-dimensional craft idea that looks like softly blooming hydrangeas: “Cut-and-Paste 3D Origami Hydrangeas.” Using origami paper or flower-shaped punch-outs, you glue on each petal one by one, so you’ll really feel a sense of accomplishment when it’s finished.

The key is gently shaping the overall form, which naturally helps you focus as your hands are at work.

If you keep the colors subdued, your indoor space during the rainy season will quickly take on a softer feel.

Just placing it quietly in a corner of a room lets you sense the season and brings a calming mood.

It’s a craft that perfectly combines adorable looks with the pleasure of careful, deliberate making.

Origami frog

[Rainy Season Origami] How to Fold Frog No. 2 with Audio Guide ☆ Origami Frog Tutorial – June Decorations

Origami frogs that look like they’re about to croak any moment.

If you decorate a facility wall with them, it will instantly bring a rainy-season, June atmosphere.

You make the face and body separately, so the result is a realistic yet cute frog.

It’s great for staff to make and display, but it’s also recommended as a craft activity for older adults.

Steps like aligning corners with your fingertips and gluing pieces provide good brain stimulation and help with cognitive prevention.

We used stickers for the eyes, but you can also cut them from origami or construction paper.

The pupils are hand-drawn, so you can create frogs with lots of different expressions!

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.
