cherry blossom petals

How to easily make cherry blossom petals from a single sheet of origami♪

As the first of the four seasons often mentioned, spring in Japan is a season that evokes new beginnings.

Let’s make sakura (cherry blossom) petals out of origami to symbolize this season of beginnings.

It’s a simple project—just fold the paper, make a few scissor cuts, and unfold—but the key is to fold carefully along the guide lines so that the five petals open out nicely.

Because of its clean, single-color look, it’s easy to use as a spring-themed element in a variety of decorations.

Some of you have probably planted hyacinth bulbs for spring or grown them hydroponically.

How about turning hyacinths—with their variety of colors like white, yellow, pink, red, and purple—into a wall decoration? The flowers are semi-three-dimensional, so even as a wall piece they have volume and look very festive.

All you do is roll thin, stick-like strips of paper and glue them on, so it could be a great craft activity.

Four kinds of spring origami

[Easy] Four Spring Origami Crafts [April Project]

As spring-themed origami that are friendly and approachable for seniors, we’d like to introduce four types: clover, strawberry, tulip, and butterfly.

Each features a spring-like motif with bright colors and charming shapes that will warm the heart.

They’re all easy to fold, and simply changing the color of the paper can give each piece a different expression.

Moving the fingers naturally provides a bit of rehabilitation, and once finished, you can attach them to wall decorations or message cards to create seasonal pieces.

Enjoy a fun crafting time that lets you feel the spring while keeping your hands active.

Make five evenly spaced cuts in the pink felt.

Shape each section into a cherry blossom petal.

Make white felt blossoms the same way, then add color with blush.

Create small pom-poms from yarn and attach each one to wire to finish.

Be sure to work carefully and safely when using needles and wire.

A cherry blossom wreath—familiar and beloved by many older adults—will warm the hearts of everyone who sees it.

Dandelions and Horsetails

[Craft Idea] Dandelion Crafting (Spring: March–April) (Senior Recreation) (Early Childhood/Educational) (Wall Decorations) (Flower Crafts) (Creative) (3D) (Origami)

These wall decorations are recommended for care facilities and let you feel the arrival of spring indoors.

Crumple yellow origami paper to create a soft texture, then shape it into a circle.

By attaching small cut pieces of origami, you can express the fluffy, three-dimensional look of dandelion flowers.

For the leaves, cut green origami into rectangles, draw vein patterns, and make slits so they connect.

For the stems, roll thin, elongated strips of origami to give them a solid three-dimensional feel—this is key.

To depict grass, cut green origami into jagged shapes and place them randomly.

For horsetails, use brown origami, forming rounded shapes; arranging them at slightly different heights will create a more natural scene.

Dandelion wall decoration

How to Make Paper Dandelion Wall Hanging (Spring Wall Decoration) – How to Make Paper Dandelion Wall Decor

Introducing a remarkably realistic dandelion wall decoration that could be mistaken for the real thing at first glance.

You’ll need yellow, green, and white construction paper, plus wooden coffee stirrers.

First, cut out eight leaf shapes from the green paper.

Then cut another strip of green paper lengthwise, crease along the top edge, and make fine slits below the crease to create the flower stem.

For the flower, cut a long strip of yellow paper, fold it in half, and cut fine slits along the edge without leaving gaps.

Attach the stem to the flower strip, then roll it up from the flower side.

Once glued, gently fluff and open up the stem and flower by hand.

You’ll have a beautiful blossom.

Glue wooden stirrers together in a grid—three vertically and three horizontally—then attach the leaves and flowers to finish.

You can also make seed heads by using white paper for the flowers.

The work involves fine details, but the sense of accomplishment when you finish is exceptional.

Give it a try!
