Sakura wreath made of felt
Felt creations have a soft, cozy texture, don’t they? This felt cherry blossom wreath is a spring-like motif that brightens up any space just by being displayed.
Make five evenly spaced cuts in the pink felt.
Shape each section into a cherry blossom petal.
Sew them together with a needle and thread to form a three-dimensional cherry blossom.
Make white felt blossoms the same way, then add color with blush.
Create small pom-poms from yarn and attach each one to wire to finish.
Be sure to work carefully and safely when using needles and wire.
A cherry blossom wreath—familiar and beloved by many older adults—will warm the hearts of everyone who sees it.
Collage of cherry blossoms
Why not feel the arrival of spring with a cherry blossom collage? Prepare a sheet of stiff black cardstock and cut it in half.
Use a cherry blossom craft punch to cut designs from patterned paper or origami, making lots of blossoms.
Draw the tree trunk on the black cardstock with a white colored pencil, then glue on the blossoms.
Layer them so they overlap and fill in the gaps.
When applying glue, don’t coat the entire piece—apply it only to part of each blossom and attach it lightly to create a three-dimensional effect.
The contrast of vivid blossoms against the black cardstock makes for a beautiful piece.
Because it uses fine finger movements, it’s great for finger dexterity training for seniors.
Consider incorporating it into craft recreation activities at senior care facilities.

Flower memo stand
Here’s an introduction to a recreation craft using plastic bottle caps.
First, prepare two plastic bottles.
Put them together and wrap them all around with double-sided tape, except for the bottom.
Wrap brown paper cord around the outside.
At the top, wind a brown pipe cleaner around and stick it on.
If you add double-sided tape at the top and wrap a ribbon around it, it will look cute.
Poke a hole in the pipe cleaner and shape a pink pipe cleaner into a flower.
Attach it to the pipe cleaner that will serve as the stem, and insert it into the hole you made.
Your flower pot is complete! Have fun making it!
Swaying Cherry Blossoms
Are you familiar with paper quilling? It’s a paper craft where you roll long, thin strips of construction paper with a special tool to create parts.
From these parts, you can make painting-like designs or three-dimensional pieces.
The process of rolling the paper uses your fingertips, which may help stimulate the brain, making it a great craft for older adults as well.
This time, let’s make a cherry blossom decoration with paper quilling.
We’ll roll slender strips of paper to create cherry blossom flowers and leaves.
Attach strings to the finished cherry blossom pieces and connect them together.
By using double-sided tape to hang them on the wall, you’ll have a paper quilling cherry blossom decoration that gently sways.
There are no complicated steps, so please give it a try!
Hanging cherry blossom decorations made with tissue paper
These are hanging cherry blossom decorations with fluffy petals.
We’ll make the cherry blossoms and buds using tissue paper.
Accordion-fold the tissue paper and cut the tips so they look like cherry blossom petals.
Then open each folded layer one by one and shape it.
Since you can make the blossoms and buds at the same time, you’ll be able to create plenty.
Attach strings to the finished blossoms and buds and hang them up.
It’s a decoration that brings a sense of spring warmth indoors.
Because it uses fine motor skills, it’s also recommended as a brain-training activity for seniors.
Creating them and admiring the display can help seniors feel the spring season.
Cherry blossom wall hanging
Cherry blossoms color Japan’s spring.
One of the pleasures is enjoying a meal under the cherry trees during hanami.
Many older adults have likely gone flower viewing at some point.
Let’s make a Japanese-style wall decoration inspired by cherry blossoms, which have long been beloved in Japan.
With a simple twist, you can cut accordion-folded origami and shape it into three-dimensional cherry blossoms.
Attach the finished blossoms to a backing made from origami and copy paper.
Add decorations near the blossoms using paper quilling—rolling thin strips of paper into coils.
These accents create a refined, traditional elegance.
It’s also great brain training because it uses fine motor skills.
Give it a try!
Cherry Blossoms of Japan
A background with traditional Japanese patterns enhances the beauty that feels uniquely Japanese.
So this time, we’re introducing an idea for making “Japanese cherry blossoms” with origami.
By placing pale pink cherry blossoms on backing paper with crepe (chirimen) motifs or classic patterns, you can create an elegant piece reminiscent of a folding screen painting.
Even if the folding method is simple, pairing it with the right background makes it look much more striking.
It’s easy enough for older adults to do without strain, and once finished, it can be enjoyed as a decoration in an entryway or common area.
This origami project, which lets you enjoy both Japanese taste and a sense of the season, is perfect for a calming, hands-on moment.
Please give it a try!
