Wall Decor: Celebrate April! A Special Feature on Cherry Blossom Wall Decoration Ideas

Butterflies and cherry blossoms

[Craft / Making] “Wings-Wobbling 3D Butterfly” Wall Decoration Craft – Preschool/Childcare Craft, Elderly Care Recreation

Butterflies are strongly associated with the blossoming of spring, but many species lay eggs multiple times in their lives, so you can see them even into early autumn.

Let’s liven up springtime at the preschool with a wall decoration that combines these beautiful butterflies with cherry blossoms.

While silhouette-style cutout butterflies are nice, here we’ll take an extra step and try making three-dimensional ones.

Cut construction paper into strips, then attach the ends to form a pear-shaped paper ring—this will be one of the butterfly’s wings.

Attach it to the body, add thin antennae, and your butterfly is complete.

If you give the butterflies expressive faces, the children might each find a favorite.

Create the scene with butterflies dancing beneath a large cherry tree.

It’s sure to make a cheerful wall decoration to welcome new preschoolers.

How about combining animal characters with a cherry blossom wall decoration? This idea uses cut-and-paste construction paper to create parts and make a rabbit dressed like a child attending an entrance or graduation ceremony.

For a graduation ceremony, have the rabbit hold a diploma; for an entrance ceremony, give it a yellow school bag—adjust the design as needed.

You can also customize the rabbit’s facial expression.

Try to create a cute face that makes viewers feel warm and happy.

Cherry-Blossom Viewing by the Animals

[Wall Decorations] How to Make Animals

When it comes to cherry blossoms, hanami and picnics are a must.

It’s heartwarming to see little children pouring juice into tiny cups and imitating the grown-ups.

I think it would be fun to recreate that hanami scene with cute animals.

Start by making animals that are popular with kids, like a squirrel with a big tail or a lion with a bold mane.

When you make a rabbit, use pink instead of white, and make the elephant blue to set the mood.

It’s fine to make all the animals the same size, but making just the elephant extra large could have a big impact! It would be great if it became a photo spot for graduation or school entrance season.

Kimie Gangi’s wall display: “Full-Bloom Cherry Blossoms” — SAKURA wall decoration

I’d like to share a perfect idea for decorating wall displays for entrance and graduation ceremonies.

First, prepare pink and light pink construction paper, and cut them into cherry blossom petal shapes.

Once you’ve cut about four petals, layer them together.

You’ll get a cherry blossom with a nice thickness.

Repeat this many times, and attach them to a drawn cherry tree to finish.

Depending on the size of the display, you can also add some falling petals.

Feel free to adjust the shapes and layout to fit your space.

Gorgeous cherry blossom hot air balloon

[Wall Decorations] Easy with Origami Cherry Blossoms! How to Make “Balloon Sakura” – Spring Craft for Preschools, Recreation for Elderly Care, Paper Craft

Here’s a recommended “Sakura Balloon” that you can make in large or small sizes.

It’s a wonderful balloon that can symbolize the children graduating as they spread their wings and the growth of the children entering school.

First, make the balloon part in pink.

If you layer several sheets of paper in different colors, it will give the balloon a nice texture.

Then, arrange cherry blossoms and petals scattered across it.

Adding three-dimensional flowers or petals will make it even more impressive.

Finally, attach the basket where people board the balloon.

You can also place smiling dolls inside.

Don’t forget the white clouds and the smiling sun to make the balloon scene even livelier!

Birds and Cherry Blossoms

[How to Make a Little Bird] A cute wall decoration you can use all year round♪ Fun educational activity using shape combinations — great for preschool crafts and senior recreation. Construction paper and origami craft. How to make a cute little bird/DIY

Birds joyfully flying over beautiful cherry blossoms.

They say “flowers, birds, wind, and moon,” and spring is indeed the season when birds become lively.

It might be lovely to recreate a postcard-like spring scene—birds flying over cherry blossoms—as a wall decoration.

Instead of cutting each bird from a single sheet, it’s better to cut out the head, body, wings, and legs separately and layer them; by changing how you layer the parts, you can create birds in many different shapes.

For example, if you make rounded parts in green and white, you’ll get a Japanese white-eye or a bush warbler; in brown and white, a skylark.

Use sharper-shaped parts and you’ll have a swallow.

If you make the cherry tree a bit larger, it’ll be easier to place the birds.

A bird soaring high on its own, birds flying alongside their companions—be sure to check the balance before you stick them on!
