[Craft Idea] Violets (March/April spring flowers) (wall decorations) (senior recreation/OT/daycare) (early childhood education) (origami) (DIY) (paper craft)

The violet flower is often used as a metaphor for a charming woman in songs and literary works.

This time, in that very spirit, we’ll introduce a cute violet made with origami.

Cut a sheet of purple origami paper into four pieces, fold each one into a small layered square, and trim it into the shape of petals.

If you draw patterns with colored pencils, you can enjoy a slightly different look.

Next, cut construction paper into thin strips and fold each into a square ring to create a base for the flower.

Glue the petals onto this base, arranging them as you go, and you’ll have a three-dimensional violet.

Adding light and dark shades to the petals will make the colors even more vibrant.

Give this adorable violet a try!

Japanese-style cherry blossom wall decoration

How to make a paper “Sakura wall decoration” / Sakura wall decoration made of paper: How to make it

We’d like to introduce a cherry blossom wall decoration made with origami.

Using three rectangular pieces of origami paper, you accordion-fold them to create cherry blossoms.

The accordion folds give the blossoms a three-dimensional look.

Once the blossoms are finished, attach them to a backing sheet.

Changing the color of the backing will change the mood of the decoration: black gives a chic feel, while yellow creates a calm atmosphere.

It might be nice to choose a backing color that suits the preferences of the older adults you’re making it with.

You could also have them take the finished piece home to display in their own space.

Fold along the creases you’ve made to create the pot.

Use accordion folds to add creases, shape, and form the cactus.

Fold a triangle three times, cut off the excess, and make the cactus flower.

Put all the parts together to finish.

Real cacti have flowers in many different colors.

With your origami piece, try making the flowers in whatever colors you like.
