[Day Service] Spring Take-Home Crafts: Ideas to Warmly Brighten Your Room

Cherry blossom wall hanging

[Easy Craft] Sakura Wall Decorations [100-Yen Shop DIY] [Spring Crafts] #Daiso #100YenShop #DIY #DayService #Recreation #Elderly #Crafts #Kids #Sakura #Handmade

Let us introduce a cherry blossom wall decoration that brings a touch of spring into your room.

Flatten a toilet paper roll and cut it in half; decorate one half with washi paper or colored paper to make the base.

Cut the other half into long, thin strips and shape them into cherry blossom petals.

Create a petal-shaped template from construction paper, then cut pink origami to match.

Sandwich and glue the toilet paper roll petals between the origami petals—the roll’s natural curve adds a nice accent to each petal.

Attach the petals to the decorated base, add any embellishments you like, and it’s done.

You can stick it directly on the wall or punch a hole and thread a string to hang it.

Try decorating your room in spring colors!

Making a calendar with sakura (cherry blossom) eraser stamps

[Eraser Stamps 🌸] Making an April calendar with a cherry blossom eraser stamp 🌸 with gradient shading

Eraser stamps are made by carving patterns into an eraser.

A carving knife is handy for the cutting, but depending on the design, you can make them with a utility knife as well.

For seniors who enjoy handmade crafts, stamp making can be a lot of fun.

Since cherry blossoms are at their best in April, let’s make a calendar by creating and stamping cherry blossoms with an eraser stamp.

Using just pink ink is fine, but it’s also lovely to change the color at the tips of the petals.

Try experimenting with how you apply the ink.

Including branches will add atmosphere and make the piece look even nicer.

balloon flower

How to make a balloon flower (the easiest rubber balloon version, with almost everything from the 100-yen shop)

It’s a fascinating decoration with a translucent look, as if flowers are blooming inside a balloon.

If you use real flowers, they tend to get damaged when inserting them, so artificial flowers that hold their shape are recommended.

First, set the balloon onto a part made by cutting the mouth of a plastic bottle, then use the gap to insert the flowers inside.

Next, check the position of the flowers and inflate the balloon to finish.

Choosing balloons and an inflation method that let the contents be visible is important.

Adding decorations on the balloon’s surface to make the inside look even more beautiful is also recommended.
