Simple hydrangea
Here’s an easy hydrangea craft that combines origami and tissue paper.
Prepare origami paper, tissue paper, a stapler, a felt-tip pen, and glue, and let’s get started.
Fold the origami paper in half twice.
On the folded paper, lightly sketch cutting lines by drawing a curve at the corners.
Cut along the lines with scissors and open it up to finish the shape.
Stack four sheets of tissue paper, staple them, and then open the tissue paper layers one by one to fluff them up.
Gently place the cut origami hydrangea on top of the opened tissue paper and glue them together.
Making a lot of these will add depth and volume to your hydrangeas and help you feel the season.

You can also draw a face with colored pens if you like—it’ll look adorable.
