We’ve gathered many easy projects so that even beginners can enjoy them.

Cherry Blossoms in the Moonlit Night

Cherry blossoms at night have a different kind of beauty from those seen during the day, don’t they? In daylight, the blossoms look delicately charming with their cute pink petals.

But under moonlight or illumination, they give off a more mature atmosphere.

Here’s a perfect wall decoration idea featuring night-time cherry blossoms for seniors who love yozakura.

Choose darker construction paper for the background of the cherry trees and blossoms, and add a moon to create a night-sakura scene.

As they make the blossoms, seniors will likely feel the arrival of spring.

Looking at the finished piece, they may appreciate the beauty of night cherry blossoms and even reminisce about their past cherry blossom memories.

These days, many homes are being built with smaller windows for security reasons.

From a safety perspective, that’s understandable to an extent.

How about your home? If you have a plain, empty wall, why not create a “cherry blossom arch window” that looks like a real window there? Imagine stained glass in a church, but made with colored paper.

Use light blue for the window to evoke the color of the sky, and decorate each pane with cherry blossoms in your own style.

Origami works, paper cutouts work—there’s no one right way.

A variety of cherry blossoms would be lovely.

Cherry trees that color Japan’s spring.

Seeing cherry blossoms in full bloom at parks and elsewhere really evokes a sense of elegance, doesn’t it? Let’s make a Japanese-style cherry blossom decoration that captures the arrival of spring.

Take three sheets of origami in different sizes, accordion-fold them, and glue them together.

Create a three-dimensional cherry blossom out of origami.

Because it’s three-dimensional, some of the steps are a bit intricate.

Older adults who enjoy origami will likely have fun making it.

If the finer parts are difficult, please have someone nearby provide support.

Assemble the cherry blossom petals and place them on top of the accordion-folded origami to finish.

It will look lovely displayed at home.

Let’s make a cherry-blossom wall decoration that lets you feel the arrival of spring even indoors.

You’ll need origami paper, a craft punch, scissors, and similar supplies.

The appeal is that you can make it with materials you have on hand.

Prepare dark pink origami paper and fold it twice to form a triangle.

After folding along the creases several times, mark it with a pen and cut with scissors.

When you unfold it, you’ll have a cherry blossom with beautifully symmetrical petals.

Make another blossom the same way using light pink origami in a slightly smaller size, and create leaves from green origami.

Accordion-fold the leaves to add veins for a realistic look.

Use a craft punch to make the center parts of the blossoms and attach them, and your cherry blossoms are ready.

Mount them on a backing sheet, and your lovely cherry-blossom wall decoration is complete.

Do you know the paper-cutting artist Kanako Yaguchi? How should I put it—her kirigami pieces are fun to look at, beautiful to display, and make you marvel, “Is this all paper cutting?” If you’re curious, definitely look her up.

Here, we’re introducing a sakura (cherry blossom) kirigami project.

Even if you’ve never tried kirigami before, don’t worry—there are motifs that beginners can tackle with ease.

When you bring together each individual piece, they can become a striking wall decoration, so invite lots of friends and enjoy a wonderful time together!

Wreath of daffodils and roses

Daffodils bloom until early spring, and roses bloom around late spring, so even though their seasons are offset, both can be said to be representative spring flowers.

This is a simple yet dimensional wreath with a glamorous look that combines daffodils and roses.

Another key point is that the wreath base and stem parts are kept flat, which helps emphasize the three-dimensionality of the daffodil and rose blossoms.

For each flower, it’s important to deliberately add fine creases, cuts, and bends, and to shape them carefully so that a sense of depth and volume comes through.
