Hina dolls
With Hinamatsuri approaching, let’s try making hina dolls by hand with origami! The kimono, which looks complicated, is easy to create by gluing two sheets of origami together like the outer and lining fabrics, cutting them into a rounded shape, and simply folding them over like a kimono overlap.
Make kimono pieces in colors and patterns suited to the Empress (Ohinasama), the Emperor (Odairisama), and the three court ladies (Sannin Kanjo), then attach the faces to complete your origami hina dolls! If you prepare various patterned papers—such as chiyogami or traditional Japanese designs—you’ll be able to enjoy making hina dolls in your favorite style.
Hinamatsuri wreath
A single paper plate transforms into a Hinamatsuri wreath! Cut a circular hole out of the center of the plate and decorate the rim with origami paper, stickers, and more.
Punch a hole and thread a ribbon through it so you can hang it on the wall.
Cut the removed center piece in half, and attach Japanese-patterned origami to each half to make the kimono for the Ohinasama (Empress) and Odairisama (Emperor).
Then assemble the faces and kimono parts from colored construction paper, and attach them so they sit in the middle of the wreath.
You’ll end up with an irresistibly cute wreath featuring the Empress and Emperor snuggled together at the center.
Sumire
Violets are spring flowers that bloom from March to May.
When it comes to spring, bright-colored rapeseed blossoms and cherry blossoms tend to steal the spotlight, but there are surely many people who say they prefer the refined purple of violets.
To make a violet wall decoration, cut purple origami into small petal shapes, gently curve each piece, and layer them to create a three-dimensional look.
If you prepare two versions—one viewed from the front and one from the side—and display them together, the result will look even more realistic.
Highly recommended!
Rapeseed blossom wall decoration
Let us introduce a cute “rape blossoms” (nanohana) made with yellow origami.
Decorate facility walls—such as in day service centers—with these charming yellow nanohana.
Nanohana is one of the flowers that herald the arrival of spring, beginning to bloom around February.
Many older adults have likely seen fields and riverbanks filled with these blossoms.
Because it’s a familiar flower and the folding steps are simple, it’s an easy project to try.
Make lots and cover an entire wall to bring a sense of spring warmth to February’s winter chill.
You can focus and work on your own, or enjoy folding while chatting with a small group.
Please enjoy a lovely time with a nanohana wall decoration.
Translucent Garland
A translucent garland that creates a light, springlike atmosphere.
Cut translucent origami lengthwise into strips one-eighth the width.
Glue each piece together alternately top and bottom in sequence, offsetting them diagonally as you go to create a soft, petal-like design.
Make a second set of the same pieces and attach it to the first to give the garland a three-dimensional look.
Punch holes and thread clips through to finish it as a hanging decoration.
Because it uses translucent origami, the soft colors shine beautifully when light passes through.
horsetail
These horsetail wall decorations are easy to make by rolling and cutting! Crumple a sheet of light brown origami paper, open it back up, cut it into thirds, and roll each piece into a stick to form the stems.
Next, take a sheet of dark brown origami paper, add wrinkles, cut it into small pieces, and cap the ends of the stems like the tip of a matchstick to complete the horsetail heads.
Finally, add segmented “hakama” parts cut with a zigzag edge, and decorate the wall together with origami grass.
Your wall will be filled with a spring scene where horsetails sway gently!
Tulip
These are cute, puffy, three-dimensional tulip wall decorations.
Cut origami paper into petal shapes, make a small slit, then overlap the edges slightly and glue them together to create gently curved petals that look like real ones.
Next, glue several petals together and attach them with stems and leaves made from origami, and you’re done! If you want an even easier method, skip the slit—just layer and glue the petals, then rub them with a thin stick or similar tool to add a curve for a naturally three-dimensional look.
