[For Seniors] Embraced by Spring: Wall Decoration Ideas to Enjoy in April

Wreath of daffodils and roses

[Origami] Daffodil and Rose Wreath

Daffodils bloom until early spring, and roses bloom around late spring, so even though their seasons are offset, both can be said to be representative spring flowers.

This is a simple yet dimensional wreath with a glamorous look that combines daffodils and roses.

Another key point is that the wreath base and stem parts are kept flat, which helps emphasize the three-dimensionality of the daffodil and rose blossoms.

For each flower, it’s important to deliberately add fine creases, cuts, and bends, and to shape them carefully so that a sense of depth and volume comes through.

Three-dimensional wisteria flowers

Origami Wisteria Flowers 3D Folding Tutorial (niceno1)

How about making wisteria flowers out of origami and attaching them to colored construction paper for a three-dimensional decoration? Using various colors of origami paper—pink, blue, purple, and more—makes it vibrant and visually delightful.

Each fold is simple, like folding into triangles or squares.

It’s also nice that you don’t need scissors; just origami paper and glue will do.

There are many steps where you crease and then unfold once, but they’re essential for creating three-dimensional petals, so take your time and fold carefully.

These wisteria flowers have a simple, handmade charm and are especially recommended for those who are good at detailed work!

Simple bouquet

[Origami] How to Fold a Bouquet (Origami Time)

Many flowers reach their best viewing season in spring.

It’s also a time when you’ll have more chances to see blossoms in parks and meadows.

Older adults may encounter flowers when they go for a walk, too.

Let’s make a bouquet out of origami that evokes those proudly blooming flowers.

Use origami paper in your favorite colors to fold the flowers for the bouquet.

Since many seniors love flowers, some may find themselves smiling as they create their pieces.

You can hang the finished bouquet on the wall, or take it home and display it there.

Strawberry and Rabbit

[For spring wall displays♪] Construction paper wall craft with strawberries and bunnies 🍓🐰 #preschoolcrafts #nurseteacher #earlychildhoodideas #traineenurseteacher #teacherlife #withkids #constructionpaper #walldisplay #paperart

Why not make a spring-perfect wall decoration with bunnies and strawberries? Use red construction paper for the strawberries and pink or white for the bunnies.

It’s a good idea to prepare the templates in advance.

For the strawberry seeds, I recommend dabbing black ink or stamp ink with the tip of a cotton swab—it’s an easy method.

Assemble it so the bunny is holding the strawberry, draw the bunny’s eyes and nose, and it’s done.

Even with the same template, it’s fun to see how each person’s personality comes through in their creation.

Pop-up cherry blossoms

Kimie Gangi’s spring wall display: “Pop-up Sakura 3D Display” 3D POP UP SAKURA

From cherry trees laden with blossoms, one can sometimes feel a sense of luxury and impact.

The more cherry trees there are, the stronger that feeling can be, right? Let’s help older adults pick up on that atmosphere from the walls of facilities decorated with cherry-themed works.

We’ll make cherry blossoms of different sizes and colors out of construction paper.

Attach the tips of the petals you’ve made with glue.

The key is to be thoughtful about the order in which you attach them.

With a bit of planning, several blossoms can come together to create a three-dimensional finish.

Display them on the wall, and add some petals alongside to enhance the overall look even more.

Even seniors who find it difficult to go out may be able to feel the spirit of hanami by looking at these three-dimensional cherry decorations.

ladybug

[No Pattern Needed! Time-Saving! Wall Decorations] Let’s Make a Ladybug! ~Together with the Bunny~

Round, small, and cute—ladybugs.

Even people who don’t like insects often find ladybugs adorable.

It’s said that small and round things have a calming, soothing effect, so they’re perfect as wall decorations.

The main parts are circles cut from construction paper, and you can use round stickers to represent the spots on their backs.

A little ladybug perched on a flower wall decoration looks charming, doesn’t it? Of course, a ladybug-themed wall display on its own also feels springlike.

No template needed, and it’s easy to make.

clover

[Elderly Recreation] Four-Leaf Clover [Spring Wall Decoration]

Some of you may remember eagerly searching for four-leaf clovers as children.

Let’s make a clover wall decoration while reminiscing about those days! This craft makes use of the bleeding effect of coffee filters.

Fold and cut a coffee filter, dip it into diluted paint, and then open it—done.

If you twist the folded coffee filter slightly, it will create a more three-dimensional finish! Making several clovers and arranging them on the wall like a wreath would be lovely, too.
