Sakura Kusudama
Let’s make a round, cute cherry blossom kusudama using origami! We’ll create three-dimensional cherry blossom petals out of origami.
Once they’re ready, group them in sets of five to form individual cherry blossoms, then combine those blossoms to assemble a large kusudama.
Apply glue and assemble by imagining the corners being attached to each other.
To avoid gaps, be sure to apply plenty of glue where each flower overlaps—this is the key point.
Finally, attach a white bead to the center of each flower, and you’re done! It’s also fun to vary the size and color.
Wall decoration
Let’s create a wall decoration that can transform the look of your room.
A wall decoration is a general term for interior items that are displayed on walls.
There are various types, such as those you stick on or hang.
Among them, the one I especially recommend is a wall decoration that gently sways.
First, arrange strings hanging down from a single rod, and attach paper-made motifs to them.
When the wind blows, they sway and create an elegant movement.
Dandelion paper wall decoration
Here’s an introduction to a wall decoration inspired by dandelions that gives a lively impression with its bright yellow color.
Cut yellow paper into long, narrow strips and make fine slits along them.
Do the same with green paper, then combine the yellow and green strips, roll them together, and spread out the slit sections to shape them into dandelion flowers.
Cut green paper to create dandelion-shaped leaves as well.
Make as many flowers and leaves as you like.
Next, use six wooden stir sticks to form a shape like the kanji for “rice field” (a square grid) with the ends slightly protruding.
Attach the dandelion leaves and flowers to this frame, and you’re done! Hang it on a wall or door to welcome the arrival of spring.

Hinamatsuri wreath
For those who want to display Hina dolls but don’t have much space, how about a Hinamatsuri wreath you can hang on a wall or door? Prepare round pom-poms in colors that evoke the festival, such as pink, green, and white.
First, thread the pom-poms onto wire to make the base of the wreath.
Next, using pom-poms along with other decorations, craft the Empress (Ohinasama) and Emperor (Odairisama).
If you’re expressing them as rabbits, attach ears made of felt or fabric scraps, and use beads or decorative tape for the eyes and nose.
Finally, thread string through the Empress and Emperor and attach them to the wreath base—and you’re done!
armband
So many ways to use it! Why not try making an armband? As the name suggests, an armband is a band worn around the arm.
It’s commonly used to adjust the fit around the wrists of a dress shirt.
The method is quite simple: buy some elastic at a 100-yen shop, add decorations you like, and you’re done.
You can also make a felt motif and create a loop on the back for the elastic to pass through.
Once it’s finished, you can wear it on your arm, or attach it to jars and bottles as decoration.
paper tag
Many people say traveling is their hobby, right? So here’s a suggestion: make your own paper tags.
A paper tag is a marker you attach to luggage you take on a trip.
It can also refer to the brand tag attached to a product.
Either way, the appeal is that you can create a design full of originality.
There are various ways to make them, but I think an easy method is to decorate paper tags sold at 100-yen shops.
Adding flowers is a nice touch, too.
Pop-up card of cherry blossoms
Why not make a pop-up cherry blossom card to cheer on those celebrating graduation, starting school, or joining a company? It also makes a great room decoration, so give it a try! First, create three-dimensional cherry blossoms using construction paper.
After gluing the blossoms together in groups of two or three, attach them to a rectangular sheet of construction paper folded in half.
Add leaves cut from green paper to finish it off! If you arrange the cherry blossoms in a circle, you’ll have an open space in the center where you can write a message.
Depending on where you place the blossoms, it may be best to write your message first.
