Wall Decor: Celebrate April! A Special Feature on Cherry Blossom Wall Decoration Ideas
Let’s create a vibrant cherry blossom wall display to decorate in April.
May this cute cherry blossom wall become something that cheers on children as they begin their new lives.
We’ve gathered many ideas—from wall displays you can put up in classrooms and hallways to impressive designs perfect for bulletin boards in entrances and halls.
It would also be lovely to add your favorite motifs, such as spring animals or birds.
Please try making a cherry blossom wall display that will energize children, teachers, and parents alike.
Because items made by the children are treated as “artworks,” we refer to them in the text as seisaku (制作).

Mechanical wall
Spin it with a twirl and cherry blossoms bloom! Here’s an idea for a mechanical (karakuri) wall display.
Adding a little mechanism to the wall will make kids even more excited to come to the daycare! Let’s create a karakuri wall perfect for spring.
You’ll need: base paper, thick paper, pens, scissors, a ruler, a compass, and a craft knife.
Making it together with the children is great too—it lets them experience a sense of accomplishment and togetherness.
Be sure to give it a try.
Let’s make the cherry blossoms burst into full bloom!
3D cherry blossoms made with origami
Here’s an idea for a three-dimensional cherry blossom wall decoration made with origami.
In this project, you combine origami parts to create cherry blossom flowers about the size of your palm.
It captures the details well while still giving a cute, stylized look.
It’s also recommended to crumple origami or construction paper into balls to recreate the trunk, then decorate it with petals.
Adjust the number of branches to match the space you want to decorate and the number of flowers.
Weeping cherry blossom wall
Speaking of famous spots for weeping cherry blossoms, in Tokyo there’s Rikugien, in Aomori there’s Hirosaki Castle, and Mishima Taisha in Shizuoka is also well known.
If you have enough people and time, I recommend making a weeping cherry blossom wall decoration.
If you make it large, it will have a big impact, so it’s great for all the teachers to work on together.
The basics are simply to make lots of cherry blossom petal-shaped pieces of paper and connect them into long strands.
The key is to use not only pink petals but also mix in white and pale red.
By blending colors, the weeping cherry blossoms will look more three-dimensional.
After that, arrange elements that evoke a weeping cherry tree, like branches and festival lanterns, and you’re set.
Adding lights so the lanterns appear to glow could be nice, too.
Everyone will surely be captivated by the wall decoration.

When you need lots of cherry blossom parts, why not try making them with kirie (paper cutting)? Even with the same shape, simply changing the origami colors or patterns and mixing the petals will create a striking wall decoration.
First, fold the origami paper into a triangle twice, then unfold it once.
Fold the top corner down to meet the bottom edge to make a crease, then unfold it.
Using that crease as a guide, fold down only the front layer of the top corner.
Align the left edge of the paper with the left corner of the small triangle you just folded down, and fold; then roll-fold it once more.
On the right side, fold it over to overlap the left side, align the shape, then fold back and fold the tip downward.
Draw a petal shape on top, cut along the lines with scissors, and when you open it up, you’ll have a cherry blossom.

Here’s a stamp art project featuring cherry blossoms using decorative balls.
You can use any kind of decorative ball for the stamp.
Clip it with a clothespin so your hands don’t get dirty.
Once your stamp is ready, draw the tree trunk on construction paper with a pen.
Then, using pink, red, and yellow paint, stamp the cherry blossom petals on top.
This alone makes a lovely piece of art, but if you want to make it even cuter, try adding flower-shaped rhinestones.

Here’s an idea for creating a vibrant cherry blossom tree using handmade stamps.
The stamps are easy to make, so try them with the children in your class! Paste a tree trunk onto white construction paper, then use a rolled-up flyer dipped in paint to stamp the shape of the cherry blossoms.
You can make the stamps by combining sponge sheets from a 100-yen shop with six plastic bottle caps.
Cut the sponge sheets into petal shapes beforehand.
To make the petals stand out, the key is to stamp with darker paint! A cherry blossom wall display that brightens up the graduation ceremony backdrop can be made enjoyably with handmade stamps—why not give it a try?

(Use lots of colors🌈) Spritz water onto your drawing👍 Place construction paper on top, press lightly with your hand, then peel it off and let it dry🥰👍 Once the paper is dry, cut it into any shapes you like✂︎ It’s cute as is, but you can add a tree trunk with brown construction paper, or stick on lots of origami cherry blossoms from the previous post😊 Try different cutting styles, decorate with sparkly stickers, add ribbons… Use all kinds of materials you have at home💕 It would look great on the wall, and you could write a message on it too🥰🫶 Try making it in different colors😊💕 It could be a nice gift🎁 for a teacher who helped you or for friends♥️ —————————— What I used: • Water-based markers • Aluminum foil • Construction paper • Spray bottle with water • Scissors Decorations: origami paper, tissue paper flowers, sparkly stickers —————————— ☆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━☆ Thank you so much for all the comments and likes😊 Some people even tell me they made it, which makes me super happy☺️♥️ I’m looking forward to seeing what everyone played and made😆✨✨ ☆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━☆Parenting#LifeWithKids#Kindergarten#Nursery school#CraftAdmissionEnrollment#Graduation from kindergarten#Flower#asmr#asmrsounds#papercraft

Draw pictures or patterns with a water-based marker on aluminum foil, then mist it with water.
Place a sheet of white drawing paper on top to transfer the foil’s patterns onto the paper.
Cut the paper to resemble the blossoms of a cherry tree, and attach it to a separate sheet where you’ve made the trunk.
Finally, stick paper-cut cherry blossom pieces onto the blossom area and add rhinestones for extra sparkle—and you’re done! Since most of the drawings or patterns made with the water-based marker will blur, it’s fine to draw freely.
However, because it’s a cherry blossom theme, be sure to use plenty of pink.
