[For Seniors] Enjoy Cherry Blossoms Indoors: Wall Decoration Ideas (1–10)
Mount Fuji and cherry blossomsNEW!
Cherry blossoms are an indispensable motif of spring in Japan; their pink appearance alone evokes the excitement of the season.
This decoration places cherry blossom and Mount Fuji motifs side by side to express Japanese spring.
It’s a simple composition—arranging an origami Mount Fuji and cherry blossoms on a backing—but by giving each a three-dimensional finish, their beauty is enhanced.
Adding deliberate wrinkles to create a natural look and other subtle touches may be key points for achieving a beautiful result.
yaezakura (double-flowered cherry blossoms)NEW!
Cherry blossoms are a motif that symbolizes spring in Japan, and their soft colors really convey the warmth of the season.
This decoration expresses cherry blossoms with origami, layering petals to create a double-flowered yaezakura finish.
The tree is attached flat onto a background mount, and then three-dimensional flower pieces are arranged on top.
Doubling the flowers is a key point for adding depth, and giving them creases so they appear slightly lifted enhances the three-dimensional effect.
Letting small petals seem to dance around suggests a spring breeze, which is also recommended.
Weeping Cherry ArchNEW!
Cherry blossoms are an essential motif of spring in Japan, and their gentle pink evokes the warmth of the season.
This decoration strings together cherry blossom motifs to express the soft spring sunlight.
Fold origami and cut it so the patterns appear; first draw clear guide marks, then cut along them, and make the same shapes in various colors.
Finally, connect the blossoms to complete it—aim for a color gradient, and be sure to adjust the length as well.
Cherry blossom mobileNEW!
This is a simple yet beautiful decoration featuring a string of three-dimensional cherry blossoms.
The main materials are tissue paper and toilet paper rolls; make the most of their softness and rounded shapes as you work.
The flower bases are made from the paper rolls: cut them to a uniform width and shape them like petals.
Then attach tissue paper to these, assemble them into cherry blossom shapes, and hang them with string to finish.
Deciding how to size and arrange the blossoms is also a key point for achieving a beautiful look.
Night Sakura and Day Sakura
Even with the same cherry blossoms, those viewed in the daytime and at night each have their own unique charm.
Let’s display both versions on the wall so that seniors can enjoy comparing the differences.
If you use soft washi paper to create the blossoms and trees, it will bring out the delicacy of the cherry blossoms.
Arrange many washi cherry blossoms against a yellow background for daytime and a blue background for nighttime.
Adding warblers or honeybees to the daytime scene, and the moon or stars to the nighttime scene, will make the piece even more lovely.
Some seniors might even be reminded of songs like “Sakura Sakura” or “Yozakura Oshichi” by the wall display.
Cherry Blossoms and Rapeseed Flowers
Spring is the season when flowers of many colors bloom in profusion; not only cherry blossoms but also rapeseed flowers brighten the landscape.
This is a three-dimensional decoration that depicts a spring scene and the uplifting feeling of rapeseed blossoms blooming around cherry trees.
The key is to make each part with tissue paper, carefully adding wrinkles and shaping them like flowers to create a soft, three-dimensional look.
A sturdy cherry tree with soft pink blossoms, arranged with yellow rapeseed flowers around it, completes the piece.
It might also be nice to emphasize spring by adding decorations like fallen petals and butterflies, not just flowers in bloom.
Sakura garland made with obi (kimono sash)
This is a garland made by linking cherry blossoms crafted from paper strips—its charm lies in the cute, three-dimensional look.
The key is that it’s not flat but 3D, giving it a popping sense of motion and strength.
First, fold two types of strips—one short and one long—into a zigzag shape, then bend the pointed tips and connect them into loops.
Finally, flip each piece over and neaten it to complete the cherry blossom shape, and then string them together to finish the whole garland.
Try varying the intensity of the pink strips and explore arrangements that make the colors look even more vibrant.
