Camellia wall hanging

[Elderly Recreation] Easy January Camellia Flower Wall Decoration [Craft/Handicraft]

Would you like to make a camellia wall decoration? It’s a lovely craft that you can enjoy together with older adults.

The steps are simple—cutting paper into petal shapes and crumpling tissue paper—so you can work at a relaxed pace.

Once the colorful camellias are finished, let’s admire them together.

You can almost hear the delighted comments: “Wow, how beautiful,” “We made such a lovely piece.” It’s a time that stimulates creativity while sensing the change of seasons.

Why not spend a heartwarming moment with camellia flowers?

Paper-cup Hina dolls

Hinamatsuri dolls that pop out from a paper cup

These hina dolls made from paper cups can be created in very little time.

All you need are patterned paper cups and origami paper—everything can be found at 100-yen shops, so the low cost is a nice bonus! They’re perfect for lively, chatty crafting sessions at a day-service center, too.

First, draw the doll’s face on the bottom of the paper cup and the sleeves on the side.

Next, make slits around the cup, leaving about 1.5 cm from the bottom intact, and cut out the sleeve sections as well.

Finally, lift up the face so it stands, adjust the sleeves so they float slightly, and add accessories like a crown made from origami to finish.

Display them as ornaments and enjoy them in your room.

corsage

"100-yen shop DIY" How to make a mimosa corsage ♪

Some of you may be planning to attend your grandchild’s kindergarten graduation or school entrance ceremony.

With that in mind, I’d like to introduce corsage making.

A corsage is a floral decoration worn on the chest.

Since it’s a special occasion, making a spring-flower corsage to match the season would be lovely.

There are many types of spring flowers, but recommended choices include mimosa, lavender, and plum blossoms.

Try to choose flowers with vibrant colors.

By the way, you can find artificial versions of each of these flowers at 100-yen shops, which makes them easy to use.

plant dyeing

[Plant Dyeing] I dyed socks using cherry tree branches [vegetable dyeing]

How about proposing a craft project that you don’t usually get to experience? I recommend botanical dyeing.

Botanical dyeing is a technique of coloring fabric with natural dyes extracted from plants and branches.

For a spring-like project, you could try using cherry branches.

It might seem difficult, but it’s surprisingly easy—just simmer the branches and soak the fabric in the dye bath.

Decide what to dye based on how many branches you can get.

By the way, using cherry branches will give you a light pink color.
