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
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!
Tulip field and butterflies
Tulips are one of the flowers that represent spring.
Many older adults probably think of tulips when they think of spring flowers.
So let’s make lots of origami tulips and decorate an entire wall.
Cut two sheets of origami paper roughly in half, then fold each piece in half again.
Cut them into petal shapes and glue them together.
Tulips come in many colors, so try making them in the colors your seniors prefer.
Attach the stems and leaves you’ve made to the tulip flowers to complete them.
If you also make butterflies out of origami and add them, it will enhance the spring atmosphere.
It’s a wall decoration that seems to convey the warmth of spring.
Bee
April, when we can feel the warmth, is also the time when insects become active.
It’s a season when many flowers bloom, so you’ll often see bees flying around fields and meadows.
Bees can seem scary because they sting, but how about cute honeybees? Some older adults might enjoy folding them with origami.
We’ll fold the face and body using separate sheets of paper.
Giving the overall shape a round look will make the piece feel cuter.
Add antennae and wings, and don’t forget to draw the black stripes that are characteristic of bees.
You can display it on the wall together with flower crafts, or attach it to other pieces like a wreath—both are recommended.
Rose message stand
Many types of roses bloom from mid-May to early June, and they’re often strongly associated with a sense of glamour.
This craft project lets you capture that glamour by making a rose out of felt and turning it into a message stand.
Cut a slit in the center of a long, narrow piece of felt, tuck one end into the slit to create overall wrinkles, and then roll it up to form the shape of a rose.
Finally, attach the flower and leaf pieces to a stand made by combining a part that holds a message with a cork, and you’re done.
You can create originality by varying the number of roses you attach and the color combinations.
Rose wall hanging
We’d like to introduce an original rose wall decoration made by rolling paper.
Prepare colored paper for the flowers and leaves.
For the flower, take a strip of colored paper cut thinly: randomly pleat (accordion-fold) two-thirds of the strip, leaving the remaining one-third unpleated.
Starting from the unpleated end, roll the paper; when you finish rolling, glue the end to secure it, and the flower is complete.
For the leaves, similarly roll thin strips of colored paper from one end, glue to secure, then pinch and shape them with your fingers.
For the stem, cut a long, narrow strip and lightly roll it to add a gentle curve.
Arrange and glue the flowers, stems, and leaves onto your choice of backing or base, balancing the layout, and you’re done in no time! Since there are no difficult steps, this craft can also be used as finger dexterity training in senior care facilities.
Sakura wreath made of felt
Felt creations have a soft, cozy texture, don’t they? This felt cherry blossom wreath is a spring-like motif that brightens up any space just by being displayed.
Make five evenly spaced cuts in the pink felt.
Shape each section into a cherry blossom petal.
Sew them together with a needle and thread to form a three-dimensional cherry blossom.
Make white felt blossoms the same way, then add color with blush.
Create small pom-poms from yarn and attach each one to wire to finish.
Be sure to work carefully and safely when using needles and wire.
A cherry blossom wreath—familiar and beloved by many older adults—will warm the hearts of everyone who sees it.
