[Childcare] Tulip Wall Decoration Ideas to Make in April (21–30)
Simple Tulip Made with Origami
Origami is a Japanese cultural practice that is known overseas as well.
Origami can also be a fun material to use for wall decorations.
Let’s brighten the classroom walls with spring colors using “Simple Tulips Made from Origami,” which can be created in fewer steps than you might think.
Fold a square piece of paper in half to make a triangle, then fold it into a triangle once more.
Fold both ends inward to balance the shape and it’s almost done.
Older kindergarteners can help with this, too.
If you also make the calyx that supports the petals, it will look much more like a real flower—give it a try!
Tulips made with construction paper
Many kindergartens and daycare centers probably plant lots of tulips.
Tulips open their faces brightly toward the sky, and just looking at them gives you energy.
Their thick petals make them a bit vulnerable to rain… so why not decorate the classroom with lots of paper tulips instead? For the petals, just imagine a bob haircut like Chibi Maruko-chan’s—that’s perfect.
Use a variety of colors for the petals, and keep the stems and leaves a simple green to create a cohesive look.
If you’re also making the ground out of paper, a comical mole popping its head out is a fun addition!
Tulips and butterflies
They say butterflies finish laying their eggs in an instant, because lingering would leave them vulnerable to predators.
Apparently, the moment they gently touch a cabbage leaf, the egg-laying is already done.
The mystery of life, isn’t it? You can also make butterflies—icons of spring—in a three-dimensional way.
The rough steps are as follows: Prepare three butterfly cutouts, each slightly different in size.
Using different colors can enhance the 3D effect.
Stack and glue the three pieces, but fold the inner parts of the top two (the second and third layers) inward into an X shape.
That alone makes them look three-dimensional.
It would also be lovely to create a piece with lots of butterflies gathering on a big tulip as the motif.
Tulip made with origami
These three-dimensional tulip wall decorations feature charming, curled petals.
Prepare two sheets of origami paper in different shades of the same color, fold them, and cut them into petal shapes.
It’s best to make a template beforehand so you can create neatly matching petals.
Make a small slit in each cut piece, overlap the edges slightly, and glue them together.
Attach the puffed pieces, then use a thin stick or similar tool to curl the side petals to add dimension—your 3D tulip is complete! Combine with stem and leaf pieces, and display on the wall along with motifs like butterflies.
Tulips you can make in large numbers
Since two sheets of origami paper make six tulips, this is a great idea when you want to craft a lot at once! Cut each sheet into three equal strips and join the strips end to end to make one long piece.
Fold the joined strip in half twice, then fold it into thirds.
Unfold it and make accordion folds along the creases.
Draw a guide pattern, cut along the lines, and you’ll have a chain of six tulip flowers! Combine them with leaf pieces made the same way and decorate your wall.
It’s also recommended to paste them in a line to border the top and bottom of the wall!
Tulip
Tulips are a classic choice for schoolyard flowerbeds and a spring flower that pairs beautifully with windmills.
Their distinctive petals and leaves make them striking even as torn-paper collages.
For the tulip flower, imagine layering individually torn pieces and shaping them into a rounded form.
Using advertisements is recommended—you can discover unexpected color combinations! The stem is straight, so it should be easy to make.
The leaves are distinctive, so it’s better to include them, but it’s fine to skip them if that’s difficult.
Enjoy creating tulips in your favorite colors!
Torn-paper cherry blossoms
Let me introduce a torn-paper collage of cherry blossoms that captures the warm feeling of spring.
Get your materials ready: origami paper, construction paper, colored pencils, scissors, glue, and double-sided tape.
First, make a draft, cut out the cherry blossoms, and start sticking torn pieces of origami onto them.
The key is to place the pieces so there are no gaps.
If you glue cherry blossom-shaped origami cutouts on top of the collage, it might create a more three-dimensional look.
Once you attach the cherry blossom trunk, it’s complete! Cutting additional origami into cherry blossom shapes and decorating around it will make it even more vibrant.
