Three-dimensional dandelion

Introducing how to make 3D dandelion flowers using origami! Perfect as spring decorations for March and April—why not make some and hang them on your wall? [Tsukuru-mon]

Dandelions, which bloom with vivid yellow flowers, are familiar even to many older adults.

Some people may have made flower crowns out of dandelions.

In this article, we introduce dandelion-themed ideas that represent spring.

Cut yellow origami paper into strips one quarter the width lengthwise.

Fold it so it becomes long and narrow, then glue two pieces together and make lots of small slits.

Be careful not to cut them off completely! Roll it up tightly from the edge and secure with glue to complete the flower.

Create a stem and leaves, then arrange everything in a frame to finish.

It’s a gentle craft that evokes the arrival of spring.

Plum Blossoms and the Japanese Bush Warbler

Plum blossoms and bush warblers made from simple paper: January–February wall decoration (with audio commentary)

The wall decoration of plum blossoms and bush warblers is a lovely piece that evokes the arrival of spring.

By carefully making each plum petal out of origami and attaching them to the branches, you can create a three-dimensional plum tree.

When making it together with older adults, letting them choose their preferred colors and shapes doubles the fun.

Displaying the finished piece in a room will fill the space with a bright spring atmosphere.

It’s also delightful because you can enjoy creative activities while feeling the season.

Next, on a rectangular piece representing a tree branch, glue the petals in alternating colors.

Once the petals are attached without gaps, it’s complete! Adding elements like cherry blossom lanterns or dango will enhance the spring atmosphere.

Butterfly

[3-Minute Origami] Cute! How to Fold a Butterfly — Recommended for Kids

One motif that evokes spring is the butterfly—how about making one with origami? Take a sheet of origami paper in your favorite color, cut it in half vertically, and start folding.

You can use the same color for both parts, or create an original look by combining different colors for the top and bottom to make a variety of colorful butterflies.

The accordion folds and the fine step of tying the two parts together with string are great for hand rehabilitation.

Since there are many nerves in the fingertips, moving them also stimulates the brain and can help prevent dementia.

Why not make lots together and brighten up the facility’s walls?
