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

For crafts in day service programs, we recommend incorporating motifs that can only be enjoyed in that season.

Take-home projects using spring-specific motifs—such as cherry blossoms, tulips, carp streamers, and hina dolls—not only offer the fun of working with your hands, but also let people display the finished pieces at home to savor the season.

Even those who find it difficult to go out can feel the arrival of spring indoors.

We’ve included a wide range of items, from practical pieces like wall hangings, bouquets, and message stands to purely decorative creations.

Please make use of these ideas for spring-themed crafts.

[Day Service] Spring Take-Home Crafts: Ideas to Warmly Brighten Your Room (1–10)

A roly-poly Hina dollNEW!

Let’s make adorable, round hina dolls.

Inflate a small balloon, then paste shoji paper around it using the papier-mâché method.

Use glue thinned with water as the adhesive.

Once it’s dry, pop the balloon and remove it, then glue a marble to the bottom as a weight.

After putting a lid on, cover the surface with fabric to finish shaping it into a hina doll.

Use beads for the eyes, gold cord for the hair ornament, and finally give it a fan to hold—and it’s complete! Because it’s a roly-poly doll, it’s easy to display anywhere.

This is a vibrant, propped-up decoration with flowers arranged to pop out of the frame.

Cut cardboard to create two frames and use them with a sheet of origami paper sandwiched in between as the base.

For the flowers placed there, cut origami paper into long strips, shape them into petals, and combine them.

Make them in various sizes and colors to brighten up the whole piece.

It’s recommended to finish the frame in a color that complements the flowers, and the key is to emphasize the three-dimensional look of the blossoms.

Clover and a VaseNEW!

These cute creations are perfect for the colorful spring season.

Prepare origami in your favorite colors and make a four-leaf clover and a vase.

The four-leaf clover is made from a single sheet of origami paper.

If you make several in different sizes and colors, they’ll give a bright, festive impression.

The leaves have a three-dimensional finish, so they look striking.

For the clover’s stem, roll a strip of origami paper thinly, flatten it, and attach it.

Place the clovers in an origami vase shaped with a bit of volume, and display them at home.

If you like, using puffy stickers to create little insects and sticking them on is also recommended.

This is a simple yet beautiful decoration featuring a string of three-dimensional cherry blossoms.

The main materials are tissue paper and toilet paper rolls; make the most of their softness and rounded shapes as you work.

The flower bases are made from the paper rolls: cut them to a uniform width and shape them like petals.

Then attach tissue paper to these, assemble them into cherry blossom shapes, and hang them with string to finish.

Deciding how to size and arrange the blossoms is also a key point for achieving a beautiful look.

Tulip bouquet

A bouquet of tulips made by combining felt, featuring a vibrant pink color and a soft, pleasant texture.

You create each tulip by softly rolling felt pieces cut into petal shapes, then assemble them to complete the bouquet.

Because the rolling process involves delicate work with tweezers, concentration and fine finger movements are essential.

Pay close attention to color choices and how you combine the parts to achieve a three-dimensional, beautiful bouquet.

Focusing on these detailed tasks will make for a meaningful, fulfilling time.

Dandelion wall decoration

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

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!
