[For Seniors] Embraced by Spring: Wall Decoration Ideas to Enjoy in April
In spring, the scenery becomes colorful with cherry blossoms, rapeseed flowers, clover, and more—so different from winter, isn’t it?
Warm weather makes you want to go out, but some older adults may find it difficult to do so.
So in this article, we’ll introduce April wall decorations that let you feel the arrival of spring while staying indoors.
You can make not only April flowers and plants but also insects like butterflies, bees, and ladybugs.
Displaying them near violets or dandelions enhances the seasonal atmosphere even more.
We hope everyone enjoys creating these together while communicating with fellow seniors and facility staff.

Spring floral arrangement
Here’s a frame arrangement using materials you can get at a 100-yen shop.
Display it by your front door or in a room to easily bring a sense of spring.
All you need is a frame and artificial flowers.
First, remove the back panel of the frame and check the size.
When attaching the artificial flowers to the back panel, be careful not to let them overlap the edges, or the frame won’t close.
Decide on a layout with a focal flower in the center and surrounding flowers, then trim the stems and attach them slightly inward so the back can close.
If you can close it without crushing the flowers, you’re done.
The steps are simple, making it a great activity for recreation in senior facilities as well.
Cherry blossom wall hanging
Let us introduce a cherry blossom wall decoration that brings a touch of spring into your room.
Flatten a toilet paper roll and cut it in half; decorate one half with washi paper or colored paper to make the base.
Cut the other half into long, thin strips and shape them into cherry blossom petals.
Create a petal-shaped template from construction paper, then cut pink origami to match.
Sandwich and glue the toilet paper roll petals between the origami petals—the roll’s natural curve adds a nice accent to each petal.
Attach the petals to the decorated base, add any embellishments you like, and it’s done.
You can stick it directly on the wall or punch a hole and thread a string to hang it.
Try decorating your room in spring colors!
Three-dimensional tulips
Tulips bloom with beautiful flowers as spring approaches.
Their colorful blossoms convey the excitement of warmer days.
This craft is like a three-dimensional picture inspired by a scene of blooming tulips, made by combining pieces of construction paper.
The key step is to cut petal shapes, curve them to add roundness, and assemble them—this layering of petals gives the tulips their 3D appearance.
After that, just attach the tulips to a backing sheet, and it’s complete.
Express your originality by deciding which colors of tulips to use and where to place them.
Wisteria flower wall decoration
These are stylish wisteria flowers with a simple silhouette.
First, cut purple origami paper into four equal squares, then fold each into a smaller square and round off the corners.
Apply glue to the white side and shape it like a cone to make the petals.
Next, connect thin strips cut from light green origami paper, and attach the petals two at a time along the strip.
The key is to place only one petal at the very bottom.
Finally, combine everything with leaves made from light green origami and branches made from brown origami to complete it.
It’s also a great idea to divide the work and have everyone help make the petals.
Real wisteria flowers
Wisteria, with its pale purple blossoms, soothes the heart just by looking at it.
Many seniors may have visited famous wisteria spots.
In this article, we’ll introduce wisteria you can enjoy indoors.
Let’s make each wisteria bloom using small 6-centimeter square origami paper.
Because the size is small and the work is intricate, it’s perfect for people who enjoy origami or are good with their hands.
After making the flowers and leaves, attach them to wire and assemble each piece to complete the arrangement.
It’s fun to make and calming to display—please consider incorporating this wisteria craft idea into your recreational activities!
Wisteria in papercutting
Wisteria trellises swaying in the breeze are so lovely—they truly capture people’s hearts.
Some of you may look forward to visiting wisteria trellises in spring, while others, especially seniors who now find outings difficult, may have fond memories of touring famous wisteria spots.
In this article, we’ll introduce paper-cut wisteria flowers you can enjoy indoors.
That’s the beauty of crafts—you can enjoy them regardless of the weather or your ability to go out! Using blue, purple, and light-purple origami paper, we’ll make small petals.
It helps to draw lines with a pencil before cutting.
Leave the petals unattached without glue on purpose, so they flutter lightly and create a soft, swaying look.
Work together to make plenty of petals and create a beautiful wisteria trellis!
Wisteria flowers made with origami
Here’s an idea for wisteria flowers that will instantly brighten up a room when hung from walls or the ceiling.
Prepare origami paper in purple, light purple, yellow-green, and green, then fold the flowers and leaves.
Make the flowers using origami cut in half.
Fold the paper in half lengthwise, unfold it, and then fold both edges inward along the center crease.
Some of the steps are a bit detailed, but using your hands skillfully can help prevent cognitive decline.
The more wisteria flowers you make, the fuller and more beautiful the result will be, so please have the seniors divide the work and create them together.
