[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.

Cherry Blossom Calendar

Nighttime cherry blossoms seen from a window—or perhaps a raft of petals drifting across the water.

This idea lets you express various spring atmospheres by changing how you place the cherry blossoms on the base.

The method is very simple: just attach a sheet of construction paper cut into a circle and some cherry blossom petals to the upper part of the base, and an illustrated calendar to the lower part.

You can fill the inside of the circle completely with blossoms, or let them intentionally spill beyond it.

Because the idea is simple, the finished design will vary greatly depending on the creator’s sensibility.

You can make cute Hina decorations using familiar items.

For example, a round box that holds cheese.

If you remove the bottom part, you’ll get a ring.

You can use that to make a Hina display.

Attach pink masking tape to the ring and make holes with an awl.

Thread yarn alone, or yarn with beads, through the ring using a yarn darning needle.

Make the dolls with round stickers, and you’re done.

Using transparent origami paper also looks cute.

How about making them while chatting with seniors about memories of Hina Matsuri?

Hanging Hina Dolls Made with Jam Lids

I made a hanging Hina decoration using jam jar lids 🎎 Check my previous post for the origami Hina dolls! They’re super easy ✨#HinamatsuriCraft#Childcare Crafting#Production VideoMarchHina DollsProduction#Nursery school

♬ cute kawaii – nanaacom

Let’s make an original hanging decoration using jam jar lids, origami paper, construction paper, tissue paper, and kite string.

The origami part will be Hina dolls.

First, fold up two adjacent edges.

Fold so that the folded section and the remaining section are the same width.

Draw faces on the remaining white area, and fold up the bottom corner to finish.

With construction paper, we’ll make a spherical ornament: cut it into circles, fold them in half, then stack and glue them together.

Attach the Hina dolls and ornaments to the kite string, tie them to a lid frame (with only the rim remaining), and finish by gluing rolled-up tissue paper to the side.

This is a paper-plate hanging decoration you’ll want to display in your room.

First, glue torn pieces of pink and white tissue paper onto a paper plate.

Then make a hole in the center of the plate and thread yarn tied to a straw through it.

On the opposite side, add a bead as a stopper and glue it in place.

Thread twine through the straw and attach paper hina dolls made from construction paper to the end.

Punch four holes at the bottom of the paper plate, thread yarn decorated with paper peach blossoms and circular ornaments through them, and tie to finish.

Simply changing the colors of the tissue paper and construction paper will give it a different feel.

Let me show you how to make a hanging Hina decoration that anyone can create easily.

First, accordion-fold a plain sheet of origami paper and fold it in half.

Then, sandwich a patterned origami paper folded the same way inside and glue them together.

This will become the body of the Hina doll.

After that, just attach a face and small accessories made from construction paper and you’re done.

Next, let’s make decorations like peach blossoms and hishi-mochi.

Tie kite string to a base made from a tapioca (bubble tea) straw, then glue on the Hina dolls and the decorations, and you’re all set! If cutting out the parts is difficult, prepare them in advance.

Hanging ornaments of oshie-style Hina dolls

Just stick it on! Chirimen Oshie Hina Dolls Hanging Ornament (Medium) How-To & Pattern OHINASAMA Tutorial & Pattern
Hanging ornaments of oshie-style Hina dolls

This is a hanging ornament made using the oshie technique, which creates dimensional pictures by layering pieces of fabric.

You attach various decorations—such as the Empress and Emperor dolls and plum blossoms—to a core, separating them into parts and sticking them on in order.

Once the pieces are finished, connect them with strings and assemble them onto the base to complete it! Using chirimen crepe fabric adds a traditional Japanese feel.

Attach a string to the base and display it on a wall or door.

You can enjoy arranging the decorations and their placement as you like, resulting in a highly original piece.

Kururinpa: Cute and elegant Hina dolls for adults

This is an interesting craft made by threading the fabric through a slit.

Attach a Japanese-patterned fabric with adhesive on the back to a rectangular piece of felt.

It might be nice to choose patterns that resemble the Emperor (Odairi-sama) and Empress (Ohina-sama).

Cut a slit in the fabric, then loop the fabric and pass it through the slit.

Add a pearl bead to the threaded side to complete the Empress.

You can create a simple yet tasteful pair of Emperor and Empress figures.

The finished pieces can be displayed at a facility or taken home to decorate an older adult’s room.
