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

Hanging decoration of cherry blossoms in full bloom

A “full-bloom cherry blossom hanging decoration” made with paper plates and origami, using DAISO’s translucent spring chiyogami.

Speaking of spring, cherry blossoms are an essential motif.

Designs that evoke cherry blossoms in full bloom make you feel the arrival of the warm season and lift your spirits.

Here’s a decoration that incorporates such a cherry blossom design, made with paper plates and origami.

Cut out the center of a paper plate, attach semi-transparent chiyogami printed with a cherry blossom design, and scatter cherry-blossom-shaped origami pieces around the edge.

It’s a meticulous process of steadily attaching small cherry blossoms, but the more flowers you add, the more three-dimensional and beautiful the result becomes—so patience is key.

Finally, punch holes and connect the pieces to complete the decoration.

Vary the circle sizes and the number of pieces to create your own unique decoration.

Oni decorations made of felt

[Setsubun Decorations] Oni ornament made with felt / DIY Setsubun decoration

How about some cute ogre decorations that blend nicely with your interior? Use a plate about 18 cm in diameter and some thick paper to make a cone-shaped base.

Apply hot glue to felt and stick it onto the base to create the body and horns.

The hair is made with yarn and a pencil.

Make the ogre’s pants and drum from felt, and finish by making the eyes and mouth with beads and thread.

In addition to red and blue ogres, using colorful options like green or yellow will brighten up the walls of elderly care facilities.

They’re small and don’t take up much space, so they’re also great for decorating a room.

Red and Blue Oni made from wine corks

Setsubun Decorations 2025 [I made a red ogre and a blue ogre out of wine corks] #Setsubun #SetsubunDay #RedOni #Handmade #Crafts

Even the oni from Setsubun, which can seem a bit scary, can be transformed into something very cute by using a wine cork.

First, paint the cork white with paint.

After that, paint it your preferred oni color.

It’s also nice to paint the oni’s pants using yellow and black paint.

Next, glue some curled yarn onto the cork as the oni’s hair.

Make the oni’s horns out of felt and stick them between the strands of hair.

Then draw the face with a pen, add any decorations you like, and it’s finished.

You can display it anywhere, so give it a try!

Tulips at the mall

Moll flower 🌷🌷🌷 tulip 🌷🌷🌷 #moll #craft #crafts #crafty #flower #flowers #handmade #handcrafted #howto

Here’s how to make an easy and cute tulip using chenille stems (pipe cleaners).

Prepare two chenille stems in your favorite color for the petals and two green ones for the leaves.

Fold each stem in half, stack the folded points together, twist them, then align the ends with the knot at the top.

Twist the aligned part to secure it—this completes the leaf.

For the flower, twist once at the center while the stems are still aligned, then fold up again and twist to secure.

Round the shapes, and curl the extended ends to form the petals.

Make three identical petal pieces and glue them together to complete the flower.

Attach the flower and leaves to a plastic stick to finish your chenille-stem tulip.

Wrapping it or bundling several together into a bouquet makes it even more decorative.

Dandelion wreath

Introducing how to make a three-dimensional dandelion wreath decoration with origami! Why not try making it as a spring decoration for April and May? [Tsukuru-mon]

Spring is the season when the weather warms and many flowers begin to appear, and you’ll likely spot more dandelions as well.

This craft recreates dandelions—a quintessential spring flower—using origami and combines them into a wreath-like shape.

To make the dandelion flowers, fold a strip of origami paper in half and then fold it again to make it narrower, cut fine slits along the edge, roll it up, then spread and shape it.

The wreath base is made by assembling triangular units, and it’s recommended to use green to evoke leaves.

Finally, combine all the parts and add decorative elements like leaf pieces to complete the project.

[For Mother’s Day gifts] How to make a handmade flower box: a DIY using faux flowers from 100-yen shops.

A flower box is a recommended gift for someone special.

Choose the flowers your loved one likes and pack them into a box.

For this project, everything you need—boxes and flowers—can be found at a 100-yen shop.

We also recommend adding a personal touch by decorating the box with masking tape, which gives it a more refined look.

The process is simply packing the flowers into the box, so even older adults can do it smoothly.

The key is how you arrange them to make the display look beautiful—that’s where your skill shines.

Since the base uses a paper plate, it’s easy to gather the materials, which is a nice bonus.
