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!
Swaying hanging ornaments
Here’s an introduction to a cherry blossom hanging decoration that looks beautiful as it sways in the breeze.
Cut origami or construction paper into rectangles and accordion-fold it five times.
Trim any excess and staple the center.
Draw cherry blossom petals on the accordion-folded piece and cut them out.
Apply glue to the center, stick the parts together, and shape it.
Attach a string to the back to finish.
If you make and hang many blossoms, it will look even more lovely.
It seems like you could make plenty of blossoms while chatting with seniors.
Please use this as a reference for making decorations.
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.
Three-dimensional cherry blossom paper flower
Using colored construction paper or TANT paper to make three-dimensional cherry blossoms can be tricky, right? For anyone who finds that difficult, try making cherry blossoms with a craft punch.
With a craft punch, you can create 3D blossoms very easily.
After punching out the cherry blossom shapes, start adding creases.
Making these creases is the key to creating dimensional flowers! Make small cuts between the petals, then use a stylus or a pencil to gently curl the petals.
Press down the center, attach beads, and your cherry blossom is complete.
They look lovely when added to message cards or colored paper.
Give it a try!
Cherry blossom petals made of copy paper
Let’s make cherry blossoms using copy paper! Since it’s a bit delicate work, please prepare easy-to-use scissors and pliers.
First, prepare four pieces of sewing thread of the same length and attach them to the tip of a green wire.
The wire will be the flower’s style, and the threads will be the stamens.
Paint the tips of the threads yellow with paint beforehand.
Next, cut out cherry blossom petals from copy paper, make a hole in the center, and color them pink with crayons.
Insert the style you made earlier through the center, then slide a calyx—made from colored construction paper—up from the bottom and glue it in place to finish.
You can bundle several to make a cherry blossom branch, or use them for hanging decorations or wreaths.
