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).

Cherry Blossoms and Rapeseed Flowers

When you think of spring in Japan, you think of cherry blossoms.

Sakura also helps elevate the atmosphere of graduation and entrance ceremonies.

Let’s create a wall decoration that combines cherry blossoms and rapeseed flowers to liven up the preschool for the new term.

Paper crafts featuring cherry blossoms come in many varieties—from petals made in a single pink color to layered combinations of red, white, and pink.

Choose according to the size of your wall and the time you can spend.

Scattering some three-dimensional petals here and there adds impact.

The bright yellow rapeseed flowers have a presence that rivals the sakura.

Aim to fill the bottom edge of the wall with yellow.

Adding bees and butterflies will enhance the mood even more.

Make it with origami! Here’s an idea for a cherry blossom petal wreath.

You’ll need eight quarter-size sheets of origami paper and glue.

The origami cherry blossom petals look like they’re connected—so cute! Using a single pink color works well, but it’s also lovely to mix in petals made from light pink or white paper.

Using washi-patterned origami changes the vibe even more, so it’s highly recommended.

It’s a perfect idea for decorating a room wall or your entryway!

Create your own little spring! Let me introduce a cherry blossom decoration.

You’ll need scissors, glue, craft scissors, a craft punch, a hole punch, a pen, origami paper, and a backing sheet.

This cherry blossom decoration is three-dimensional, and a big plus is the freedom to choose any origami colors you like.

By using gold or silver origami as accents, even a single blossom looks glamorous.

It also looks lovely displayed in a frame made from chopsticks! Please give it a try and create a cherry blossom decoration that expresses your very own little spring.

Butterflies and cherry blossoms

Butterflies and cherry blossoms

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

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.

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!
