Simple hydrangea

[Easy ✨ Origami] How to Make Hydrangeas 💐 [Quick and Simple] June Decorations | How to Make Paper Hydrangea, Paper Flower.

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.

hydrangea

In June, the flower that best represents the rainy season is the hydrangea.

Even when there’s little sunshine and the sky feels gloomy, seeing hydrangeas in their colorful, vibrant hues can lift your spirits.

How about using hydrangeas as a wall decoration? A gradient of white, blue, pink, and purple flowers can instantly brighten up a wall.

You can depict each small petal individually, or express them on a large, round base using watercolor, bubble art, or wet-on-wet painting.

Adding little snails and other accents can make it even cuter.

Hydrangea wreath

Hydrangeas reach their peak viewing season during the June rainy period.

Let’s make a wreath inspired by hydrangeas and hang it on the wall! Since it’s a wreath, prepare construction paper or thick paper cut into a donut shape, or a paper plate, and attach pieces that evoke hydrangea florets.

For example, flowers made from tissue paper, or small flowers made from origami.

Treat each one as a floret and stick them onto the donut-shaped base.

It’s recommended to keep the colors within the same family to give it a more hydrangea-like look.

If you add even smaller flowers made from origami on top, they’ll make a nice accent!

Hydrangea Clock

How about a wall decoration that treats hydrangeas as a clock? Hydrangea blossoms have many small flowers that form a round shape, which resembles a round clock.

You could put the clock numbers on the small petals that make up the flower, or place a snail in the center to act as the clock hands.

You could also put frogs or umbrellas above the numbers to indicate, “This is the time right now.” Even if it doesn’t keep real time, as long as the design makes it clear that the clock and hydrangea are combined, it will feel stylish and capture children’s interest!

[For ages 4–5] Hydrangea Craft

[June ☔🐌] Introduction to our craft project. Suitable for all ages 🩷

Making hydrangeas using origami and construction paper is recommended for children aged 4 to 5.

Cut the construction paper into a cloud-like shape, then make small flowers out of origami to form the hydrangea and paste them on.

For the small hydrangea flowers, it’s best to use smaller-sized origami.

If you don’t have small origami, cut a regular sheet into four pieces and use those.

Also, if you fold circular pieces of origami, you’ll create a different kind of hydrangea flower than with square origami.

You can combine both types of flowers, or use just one—either is fine! Encourage the children to think for themselves about how to arrange the small flowers as they create their work.

[Collage] Hydrangea Craft

[June Project] Hydrangea Collage (Paper-Pasting Art)

Let’s make a hydrangea collage that’s perfect for the rainy season.

First, prepare origami paper in several colors and cut it into small squares.

Next, either cut out a rough, round hydrangea shape from construction paper and paste it onto another sheet, or draw the shape directly on the paper.

Depending on the children’s age, teachers may need to handle the step of cutting the squares and cutting out the hydrangea shape.

Once the prep is done, start pasting the square pieces of origami randomly onto the round hydrangea base! By letting the children work freely, you’ll end up with a wonderfully unique, one-of-a-kind hydrangea.

Hydrangea torn-paper collage art

[Easy] Perfect for the rainy season! Hydrangea torn-paper art 🎨

The rainy season can feel damp and muggy, and the overcast skies can make it seem dim, so it may carry a strong negative image.

Hydrangeas, however, might be just the thing to brighten that gloomy image of the rainy season, even if only a little.

Let’s enjoy and get through the rainy season with a torn-paper collage featuring hydrangeas—an essential motif for this time of year.

It’s a simple activity: color construction paper with crayons and cut it into small pieces, then paste them onto a hydrangea-shaped outline so the flowers appear to bloom.

Being mindful of finger movements is important—the light coloring process and the fine motions of cutting and pasting help exercise dexterity.
