Perfect for spring: Wall display ideas with a horsetail motif you’ll want to make in March!

Horsetail and a butterfly

Kimie Gangi’s tissue paper craft: Super easy “Big Butterfly” to decorate large walls

Combine horsetail shoots that can only be seen in spring with butterflies gracefully dancing around flowers to create a spring-like wall decoration.

Cut tissue paper into butterfly shapes, pinch the center with a folded chenille stem (pipe cleaner), and gather it to make a fluffy, adorable butterfly.

To match the butterflies’ look, we recommend making the horsetail shoots with a three-dimensional feel by crumpling newspaper or origami paper.

Add flowers and honeybees, and you’ll have a lovely wall display that lets you feel the arrival of spring even indoors.

3D horsetail

March Wall Decorations: 'Horsetail (Tsukushi)' — Cute Spring Bulletin Board Crafts Made of Paper

Let me introduce a wall display featuring horsetails that appear from the soil in spring.

Place a horsetail template on construction paper and cut along it.

For the head of the horsetail, make slits with a craft knife and glue the pieces together with slight overlaps to create tiers—it might make it look more like a real horsetail.

It also helps to shape the paper so it has a rounded, three-dimensional look.

By making stems of different lengths and gluing long and short ones together, you’ll end up with horsetails of varying heights, which can give an even stronger sense of spring.

Once you’ve attached the horsetails to the ground you made, it’s complete!

clover

[Origami] How to Make a Clover (Clover Basics and Applications)

When spring comes, clover spreads across the fields.

The four-leaf clover, a symbol of luck and love, is perfect for wall decorations, too.

First, fold the origami paper into a triangle with the green side facing inward.

As with the crane, open the pocket and flatten it into a square.

Fold the bottom corner up to the center, then fold upward where the creases intersect.

While pinching the center, open it and fold the middle inward.

After that, fold each section back while slightly overlapping them to shape the leaves, and it’s done.

Adding butterflies or flowers alongside makes it feel even more like spring.

Choose your favorite technique and give it a try! Here are ideas for butterflies and field horsetails.

Seeing butterfly and horsetail motifs can bring a feeling of spring indoors, right? This time, let’s use stamping and decalcomania techniques to create cute butterflies and horsetails.

For stamping, prepare drawing paper, water balloons, a fork, and paint.

For decalcomania, prepare drawing paper, cut cardboard, and paint.

Each technique has a lovely feel, so choose based on your child’s age and interests.

A cherry blossom tree made with torn-paper collage

Cherry blossoms are the quintessential spring flowers—almost their synonym.

How about incorporating a torn-paper collage to create a cherry tree? Start by making the trunk on colored construction paper, then draw plenty of branches on top with crayons.

The more branches, the better.

Next, tear pieces of paper and glue them over the branches—mix pink origami, patterned origami, tissue paper, and other colors and textures for a fun, vibrant finish.

Adding little butterflies and other details around it would make it even cuter.

Dandelions in a wet-on-wet painting

Let’s use the wet-on-wet (bleeding) technique to create a familiar spring flower: the dandelion.

This technique uses water-based pens and water-resistant paper.

Shoji paper or coffee filters are recommended.

Cut the paper into a circle and draw patterns on it with pens in any colors you like.

When you’re done, mist it with water; the colors will gently bleed and spread.

Even if you scribble so the colors mix messily, the way they bleed and blend is beautiful and fun.

Attach a base for the dandelion flower and a stem, and you’re done.

Puchi-puchi butterfly

When spring comes, don’t you find butterflies more often even in the kindergarten yard? Let’s make butterflies that herald spring using bubble wrap as cushioning material! We’ll use bubble wrap to create the butterfly wings.

Cut the bubble wrap into a rectangle and draw butterfly patterns on it with a permanent marker.

It’s easier to draw on the flat back side rather than the bumpy side.

Pinch and tightly tie the center with a chenille stem (pipe cleaner), then make the butterfly’s body and face with colored construction paper and stick them on to finish.

Try making the antennae with a chenille stem as well.
