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

Cherry blossom wall decoration

[Senior Recreation] Cherry Blossom Wall Decoration Using Origami [Easy Craft] Cherry blossom wall decoration

A wall decoration of cherry blossoms that turns your room into a spring scene can create a seasonal atmosphere without going outside.

By using origami to make cherry blossom petals and layering pieces in different colors and sizes, you can enjoy a three-dimensional craft.

If you’re decorating a room at a day service center, choosing a uniquely original color scheme that differs from others will also brighten up the wall.

However, since there will be times when you need to use craft scissors in addition to simple scissors, please have those around the seniors help with the more difficult parts when they are working on the project.

field of rapeseed flowers

[Craft Idea] Flowers from Winter to Spring: Rapeseed Blossoms (Canola) Crafts (February/March Spring) (Senior Recreation) (Wall Decorations) (Origami) (Early Childhood Education) (Creative) (Easy) (Flower Crafts)

A wall decoration themed around a field of rapeseed blossoms is a great idea for creating a bright, spring-like atmosphere.

Cut origami paper in half, fold it into small sections, and crease it.

Cut along the creases to form a square, then round the edges to shape the petals.

The key is to add a gentle curl to the petals.

Place the pieces you’ve made on top of a ball of crumpled origami paper.

For the stems, cut paper into rectangles, bend them into a bow shape, and give them a curve.

Make two types of leaves and add wrinkles to recreate a more realistic rapeseed field.

The gluing process also serves as fine motor exercise and is recommended for those who enjoy detailed work.

Pressed flowers in a microwave

Make pressed flowers in 30 seconds♪ Let’s make a bookmark with pressed flowers

When you think of pressed flowers, you probably imagine that making them the usual way takes days to complete.

However, if you use a microwave, you can make them in just a few minutes, so it’s a great spring craft.

Simply sandwich the flowers you picked between cardboard and paper towels, secure them with rubber bands, and heat in the microwave for several tens of seconds—that’s it.

It’s easy enough to work well as a recreational activity for seniors, too.

You can enjoy a touch of spring indoors by using the finished pressed flowers to make items like bookmarks.

carp streamer

[Children’s Day Craft] Colorful Tissue-Paper Koinobori [May Project]

May 5th is Children’s Day, isn’t it? How about giving your grandchild a carp streamer as a gift to wish them healthy, vigorous growth? This time, let’s make a koi nobori using tissue paper.

First, cut a plastic bag into a shallow V-shape.

Then tear colorful tissue paper by hand.

There’s no set size, so it’s nice that you can tear it freely.

Put the pieces into the plastic bag and give it a shake.

Attach an eye, and you’ve got a splendid carp streamer! It’s great because you can display it in a room and it’s easy to carry around.

How to make fluffy origami flowers | Wall decorations | Pom-pom flower balls | How to make pom pom flowers with paper | AyaWangPaper

This is a flower ball made from origami or copy paper, notable for its soft appearance.

You can create your own design depending on the colors you choose.

Cut small pieces of paper, fold them into triangles, make cuts with scissors, then unfold them to form shapes that are rounded on the outside with slits toward the center.

Next, tightly curl the spread-out tips, and combine those pieces to form a ball.

It’s a craft that requires careful focus on fine details, such as curling the tips and assembling the pieces while keeping the overall shape in mind.
