[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.

Rapeseed blossom wall decoration
Introducing a cute “rape blossom” made with yellow origami.
Decorate facility walls, such as at day service centers, with these charming yellow flowers.
Rape blossoms are one of the flowers that announce the arrival of spring.
Many older adults have likely seen fields and riverbanks in full bloom with them.
Because the flower is familiar and the folding steps are simple, it’s an easy project to try.
Make lots and cover a whole wall to evoke the warmth of spring.
You can focus and craft on your own, or enjoy folding while chatting with a few others.
Please enjoy a lovely time with a wall decoration of rape blossoms.
butterfly
As spring arrives and the days grow warmer, more and more flowers begin to bloom, and we start seeing butterflies more often.
Here’s a soft-looking decoration inspired by butterflies, made with tissue paper.
Layer tissue paper cut into butterfly shapes and pinch it with a chenille stem to form the antennae, creating gentle wrinkles throughout.
Adding these wrinkles softens the look, giving the butterfly a tender feel and a sense of lively motion, as if it’s fluttering—this is the key point.
Pair it with flower decorations to further emphasize the spring atmosphere—highly recommended.
Sakura hanging ornaments
It’s great that you can also use it as a floral garland! Here are some ideas for a hanging sakura decoration.
This is a perfect idea for when your room feels a bit lonely or when you want to enjoy cherry-blossom viewing indoors.
The softly blooming, cute cherry blossoms will soothe your heart every time they catch your eye.
You’ll need pink tissue paper, scissors, string, and rubber bands.
By adjusting the size of the tissue paper, you can change the size of the flowers.
It comes together with a simple step: thread the string through the rubber band, and you’re done! Give it a try.
Tulip
Tulips in vibrant colors like red, white, pink, and yellow are perfect for spring wall decorations! Try cutting out the tulip’s distinctive petals and leaves from origami paper one by one.
If you make a small slit at the bottom of each petal and glue it together, you’ll get a three-dimensional effect—give it a try! It takes a bit of effort, but it’s also great for fine motor training for older adults.
To take your wall display up a notch, how about adding pinwheels, which pair wonderfully with tulips?
Collage of cherry blossoms
Why not feel the arrival of spring with a cherry blossom collage? Prepare a sheet of stiff black cardstock and cut it in half.
Use a cherry blossom craft punch to cut designs from patterned paper or origami, making lots of blossoms.
Draw the tree trunk on the black cardstock with a white colored pencil, then glue on the blossoms.
Layer them so they overlap and fill in the gaps.
When applying glue, don’t coat the entire piece—apply it only to part of each blossom and attach it lightly to create a three-dimensional effect.
The contrast of vivid blossoms against the black cardstock makes for a beautiful piece.
Because it uses fine finger movements, it’s great for finger dexterity training for seniors.
Consider incorporating it into craft recreation activities at senior care facilities.

cherry blossoms in full bloom
The sight of cherry blossoms in full bloom heralds the arrival of spring, doesn’t it? Here’s how to make items that let you enjoy hanami indoors.
Stack five sheets of tissue paper, accordion-fold them, staple the center, then round off the edges with scissors.
Carefully fan out each layer one by one, and you’ll have soft, three-dimensional cherry blossoms.
Using pale pink or white paper as a background creates a gentle, springlike atmosphere.
You can also fold origami paper into a triangle and cut out petal shapes; once you glue the pieces together, your wall decoration is complete.
Three-dimensional dandelion
The dandelion, which blooms with vivid yellow flowers, is a familiar flower even to older adults.
Some people may have made flower crowns with dandelions.
In this article, we introduce dandelion-themed ideas that represent spring.
Cut yellow origami paper into one-quarter width strips lengthwise.
Fold it so it becomes long and narrow, then glue two pieces together and make many small slits.
Be careful not to cut all the way through! Roll it up tightly from one end and secure it with glue to complete the flower.
Make a stem and leaves, and decorate a frame to finish.
It’s a gentle craft that lets you feel the arrival of spring.
