Cherry blossom decorations you can make with items from a 100-yen shop
This is a cherry blossom wall decoration using balloons, paper fans, and tissue paper petals.
Prepare light pink and clear balloons, pink and cream-colored paper fans, and cherry blossom–colored tissue paper.
By unifying the palette with soft hues, you’ll create a decoration that’s both springlike and cute.
It’s recommended to group the balloons and paper fans together, then arrange the petals so they appear to flow outward from that cluster.
This way, the balloons and paper fans will look like a cherry blossom tree.
Spring decorations made with 100-yen store balloons
Here’s how to make a spring-like flower decoration using small balloons.
You’ll need six balloons for one flower.
Five of them will be used for the petals, and the remaining one for the center.
First, inflate the balloons for the petals to match the size of the flower you want to make.
Tie the openings together to secure them, and adjust their positions to form the shape of a flower.
After inflating the balloon for the center, twist it in the middle to divide it into two.
Wrap this around the middle of the petals to secure it, and you’re done.
Attach the center on both the front and back so that the flower looks complete from either side.
How to make a floral column arch
This is a unique and adorable column arch with a flower motif.
The pillars are made by stacking vertically a part called a cluster, which consists of four balloons tied together.
The balloon with a face drawn on it makes a nice accent.
For the arch section, we use linkable balloons that can be easily connected.
If you want to make the arch more striking and gorgeous, we recommend using patterned balloons or filling the gaps between the linkable balloons with smaller clusters.
Cherry blossom pattern made with a tampon stencil
“Tanpo stencil” is a technique in which you dab paint to transfer a design from a template.
This time, let’s make simple templates using origami and copier paper wrapping.
Copier paper wrapping is durable even when wet, making it a good material for stencils.
Once you’ve made the templates for cherry blossoms and petals, stamp them with paint.
It’s best to make the tanpo by wrapping gauze around a sponge and tying it with a rubber band.
Creating a gradient with dark and light colors looks lovely.
It’s an easy craft that instantly brightens up a wall.

Strawberry wall decoration made with balloon art
It’s like strawberries are growing right on the wall! This is a strawberry decoration made with balloons.
Use round, polka-dot balloons to represent the strawberry fruit, and combine them with a calyx and a flower to complete each piece.
For the calyx, twist a long balloon inflated to about 60 cm and attach it to the mouth of the strawberry balloon.
For the flower, make the petals with white balloons and the center with a yellow balloon.
The result looks so appetizing you’d never guess it’s made of balloons—kids will surely feel like eating strawberries!
How to make a balloon tower
Balloon towers are recommended when you want to make the venue entrance look festive.
In this idea, you tie inflated balloons in pairs, connect the pairs, twist the connected sections, and secure them to a banner flag stand.
We used 32 balloons, but please adjust the number to fit the size of your stand.
If you don’t have a banner flag stand, you can substitute one by fixing a tension rod in place with 2-liter water-filled bottles.
To make it even more luxurious, add a star-shaped decorative balloon on top and fill the gaps between balloons with floral decorations.
Cherry blossom wall featuring a window motif
The motif of cherry blossoms and windows that brightly decorate the wall is a perfect idea for a preschool graduation ceremony.
Fold pink origami paper to make crease lines.
Cut it into a half-circle so it forms a cherry blossom shape, and when you open it, you’ll have a sakura flower and petals.
Make a bird out of light green origami paper, then use string and paper tape to create rings that will serve as windows.
Perch the bird on a branch made from construction paper, and decorate to evoke cherry blossoms dancing in the wind—then you’re done.
Let’s beautifully adorn this special, sunny day with a handmade wall display!
