[For Seniors] Enjoy May: A Collection of Seasonal Craft and Wall Decoration Ideas

clover

(Origami / copy paper) Easy! How to make a clover [DIY]

Here’s how to make an easy and cute clover.

A craft punch that cuts paper into heart shapes makes it go faster, but you can use scissors too.

Prepare two sheets of green paper—one dark and one light—and cut out heart shapes.

Layer the leaves with a piece of wire sandwiched between them, and glue them together.

Make several of these.

Bend the leaves, bundle them, and wrap them with green floral tape to form three-leaf or four-leaf clovers.

Pour pebbles or beads into a small container and insert the clovers to enjoy them like houseplants.

Since it’s safe to make, it’s also recommended as a recreation activity in senior facilities.

Onions and asparagus

#12 Torn-paper collage of onions and asparagus

Onions and asparagus, with their distinctive looks, make perfect motifs for torn-paper collage! The combination of brownish onions and green asparagus creates a natural, stylish vibe.

To express the wrinkled onion skin, the trick is to apply plenty of glue and stick the paper down while scrunching it to form creases.

For asparagus, adding purplish tones in addition to green elevates the look.

Using newspapers or ads gives the piece even more character, so give it a try!

Tulip

#26 Feeling spring excitement? “Bloomed, bloomed!” — Tulip Newspaper Collage #newspaperart #tulip #新聞ちぎり絵

Tulips are a classic choice for schoolyard flowerbeds and a spring flower that pairs beautifully with windmills.

Their distinctive petals and leaves make them striking even as torn-paper collages.

For the tulip flower, imagine layering individually torn pieces and shaping them into a rounded form.

Using advertisements is recommended—you can discover unexpected color combinations! The stem is straight, so it should be easy to make.

The leaves are distinctive, so it’s better to include them, but it’s fine to skip them if that’s difficult.

Enjoy creating tulips in your favorite colors!
