[For Seniors] Enjoy June! Introducing Simple, Recommended Wall Decorations

white clover

[Craft Idea] White Clover Crafts (May–June, spring) (senior recreation) (wall decorations) (early childhood education) (daycare) (flowers) (crafting) (Flower crafts) (OT)

White clover is a familiar plant that blooms along roadsides and other places.

Though modest, the clusters of small white flowers look delicate and beautiful, like lace.

Let’s try expressing white clover on a wall surface! First, prepare origami paper and create petals by cutting and folding.

The key is to add a curve to each petal! Layer them to form a single flower.

Cut the leaves into heart shapes, and by combining them you can make a four-leaf clover.

Since white clover is said to bring good luck, decorating your room with it might boost your fortune.

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!

Hydrangea wall decoration

[Senior Recreation] June Hydrangea Wall Decoration [Easy Craft] hydrangea

If the walls at your care home or house feel a bit bare, why not make a lovely hydrangea wall decoration? I’m sure your companions and family will be delighted.

It could be fun to make them together, too.

Even when making hydrangeas, some people might fold them with origami, others might create them as paper cutouts, and some might do patchwork.

For materials, you could use colored paper, felt, fabric, or even the pretty decorations on paper bags and empty boxes for hydrangea patterns.

It’s also a great idea for everyone to make their own hydrangeas and then combine them into a single wall hanging! Just like hydrangeas come in many colors, lining up lots of them will surely make the wall decoration lively and cheerful!

Morning glory leaves and vines made with origami

Origami [Morning Glory Leaf and Vine] How to make Origami Morning Glory Leaf & Vine*

This project combines not only morning glory flowers but also leaves and vines.

By carefully layering parts like flowers and leaves—crafted with clever reverse folds—you can aim for a three-dimensional, soft look.

While the flowers and leaves tend to stand out, paying close attention to the length and shape of the vines will further enhance the beauty of the morning glory.

Create the flowers and leaves with reverse folds for a three-dimensional effect, then decorate them with vines made by twisting thinly cut strips of origami paper using a simple process.

It’s also recommended to consider how the vines overlap and finish them as if they’re wrapping around other decorations.

Morning glory in origami kirie (paper-cut art)

[Kirie/Cut Paper] Easy!! How to Make a Morning Glory #asagao #morningglory #ผักบุ้ง #喇叭花 #나팔꽃 #flower #flower #फूल #꽃 #kirigami #Kirikami #craft #paper-cutting

This is a simple craft where you fold an origami sheet into a small shape, cut along a curved line, and then unfold it to reveal a morning glory shape.

For morning glories, the star-like form at the center is important, so the folding steps are key to making it appear well.

The fine reverse folds may seem tricky, but it’s just a repetition of straight folds—proceed by checking which line to align with each time.

Since the finished piece has a star-shaped hole, you might place white paper behind it to make the pattern stand out.

A simple three-dimensional morning glory

[Origami Flower] An easier, 3D “Morning Glory ver. 2023” folding method! Origami morning glory tutorial

This is a morning glory made from a single sheet of origami, cleverly using reverse folds and other techniques to create a three-dimensional, soft appearance.

Not only does it look good from the front, but the base is also shaped solidly like a real flower, making it easy to incorporate into decorations.

You cut the edge of the folded paper, then unfold it and fold it again while making use of the white on the back.

Because there are many fine reverse folds, the whole piece tends to wrinkle, but intentionally adding wrinkles is also recommended to achieve a softer-looking morning glory.
