Spring floral arrangement

[100-Yen Artificial Flowers / Seria] How to Make a Spring Frame Arrangement / Easy, Cute Handmade Home Decor / Great for Gifts

Here’s a frame arrangement using materials you can get at a 100-yen shop.

Display it by your front door or in a room to easily bring a sense of spring.

All you need is a frame and artificial flowers.

First, remove the back panel of the frame and check the size.

When attaching the artificial flowers to the back panel, be careful not to let them overlap the edges, or the frame won’t close.

Decide on a layout with a focal flower in the center and surrounding flowers, then trim the stems and attach them slightly inward so the back can close.

If you can close it without crushing the flowers, you’re done.

The steps are simple, making it a great activity for recreation in senior facilities as well.

dandelion

Easy and cute March wall decoration with pattern: “Dandelion”

When you spot dandelions by the roadside, it really feels like spring is on its way, doesn’t it? March still brings plenty of cold days, but while we eagerly await the warmer weather, why not try making a dandelion wall decoration? Create the yellow flower, the green stem, and the calyx from colored construction paper, glue the pieces together, and then decorate the wall with them alongside little butterflies fluttering around the dandelions.

Dandelions may seem complicated in shape, but they’re easy to make if you use craft templates.

It’s also a great idea to pre-cut the parts and ask older adults to assemble them into dandelions!

Origami Camellia

[Origami] How to fold a camellia

Making camellias out of origami is truly lovely.

As you move your fingers, it feels like your heart is enriched, too.

Camellias, which are at their best in winter, can give you a sense of spring arriving a little early.

Crafting a camellia from a single sheet of origami paper might seem difficult, but if you fold it slowly and carefully, you’ll end up with a beautiful piece.

Using gradient origami paper can make your camellia look real.

Yellow camellias are said to be rare.

How about chatting about fun tidbits like these while everyone enjoys making them together?

peach blossoms

[Origami] Peach Blossom: How to Make an Origami “Peach Blossom.”

These are origami peach blossoms that are perfect for wall decorations during the Hinamatsuri (Doll’s Festival) season.

Cut origami paper into a pentagon, then fold it into a pinwheel-like shape, layering the folds so that it forms five three-dimensional petals.

Secure it with glue so it doesn’t open, and draw the pistil and stamens in the center to finish! The folding method is a bit intricate, so it’s recommended for seniors who enjoy origami and fine handiwork.

If the folding is too difficult, don’t worry about folding—try an easier method by cutting out individual petals and gluing them together instead.

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, often seen in spring in parks and gardens, is a plant that evokes gentleness and lightness.

Cut a rectangular sheet of origami paper into small pieces and round them to create petal shapes.

By adding a curve to the tips of the petals, you can achieve a realistic-looking flower.

Use long, thin strips of paper to make the stem, and represent the distinctive leaves of white clover.

Arrange heart-shaped pieces of origami in green gradient tones to create the clover.

Finally, decorate with a ladybug made of origami to finish.

Combining white clover and clover makes for a decoration that conveys the arrival of spring, even from the wall.
