Peach blossom ornament

[Elderly Recreation] Rec Craftsman Series Part 258: “Small Peach Blossom Decoration [Hinamatsuri/Girls’ Day/March 3rd/Handmade/Floral Decoration/Crafting/Fine Motor Skills/Functional Training]”

Peach blossoms bloom in beautiful pale pink around late March.

Even if you want to go for a walk to see them, many people may find it hard to go out because March often has chilly days.

For those people, we recommend this “Small Peach Blossom Decoration.” It requires only a few materials, making it perfect for craft activities with seniors.

Prepare white, pink, and light green colored sand, artificial flowers, and a clear container—all of which you can buy at a 100-yen shop.

Then, layer the colored sand in the container in order.

The color scheme, like hishi-mochi, looks very cute.

Insert the artificial flowers, tie a string, and it’s done.

This peach blossom decoration will warm the hearts of those who see it, letting you feel the arrival of spring even while indoors.

Pressed-flower art with cherry blossom petals

Pressed Flower Artist Nobuo Sugino’s Pressed Flower Art Gallery SAKURA

Beautiful cherry blossoms bloom in spring, but their flowering period is short, and before you know it, the petals have often fallen.

So why not use those fallen petals to create pressed-flower art? The theme can be anything you like.

You could make a cherry tree, depict blossoms dancing at night, or show petals falling into a river and drifting along.

Feel free to create in whatever theme you prefer.

If you frame your work and display it, it becomes a lovely piece of decor, and you can enjoy cherry blossoms at home all year round, regardless of the season.

Dancing Cherry Blossom

[How to Make Cherry Blossoms] Easy! Origami Cherry Blossoms: “Beautiful 3D Cherry Blossoms in a Short Time” Wall Decorations, Preschool Crafts, Senior Recreation — How to make beautiful origami cherry blossoms

When spring arrives, the sight of cherry blossom petals dancing in the wind against the blue sky is wonderful, isn’t it? This dancing motion is also described as a “sakura snowstorm,” and some older adults may find it quite dreamlike.

You can easily recreate the image of cherry blossoms fluttering in the wind with origami.

Fold origami paper that suits the sakura theme, cut it, and open it to reveal a cherry blossom shape.

Add a little touch by creasing the petals, and it will look even more like a real blossom.

When decorating on a wall, attach the flowers along a twisted paper streamer to create the effect of sakura blowing in the wind.

Seeing their own creations beautifully displayed can help older adults feel a sense of accomplishment.
