For Seniors: Come, Spring! Recommended March Craft Ideas for Daycare Services

Collage – Introducing stylish collages using leftover washi paper –

This activity involves sticking small colored pieces of paper to create a picture with a sense of volume.

It really tests your ability to focus on detailed handwork, such as making tiny parts and carefully placing them while being mindful of shapes.

I recommend painting various colors onto white paper and then cutting it into small pieces—this lets you create color gradients even within the tiny parts.

After that, decide on the overall shape you want, and attach the pieces to match that shape until it’s complete.

As you work, pay attention to the overall color gradation and how layering can add depth and volume.

Hanging ornaments

[Easy ✨ Origami] Temari Hanging Decoration 🎎 with Plum and Cherry Blossoms 🌸 [Hinamatsuri] Just Cut and Paste 💕 100-Yen Shop • Japanese Chiyogami

We’d like to introduce a lovely spring hanging decoration that gently sways in the breeze.

You can make it with just origami paper and string, so it’s perfect for craft activities in senior care facilities.

Prepare both solid-colored and patterned origami paper, cut three circles of each, and fold them in half.

Glue the solid and patterned halves alternately, attach them to a string, and your temari ball is finished.

Next, fold three sheets of origami paper in half vertically, stack and glue them together, then draw a pencil outline so it forms a cherry blossom shape and cut it out.

When you open it, you’ll have a symmetrical flower.

Snip small cuts into the petals to make it look like a sakura blossom, then attach it to the string to complete the piece.

Gazing at your hanging decoration while feeling the warm spring breeze is sure to bring a peaceful moment.

Cherry blossom wall hanging

[Easy Craft] Sakura Wall Decorations [100-Yen Shop DIY] [Spring Crafts] #Daiso #100YenShop #DIY #DayService #Recreation #Elderly #Crafts #Kids #Sakura #Handmade

Let us introduce a cherry blossom wall decoration that brings a touch of spring into your room.

Flatten a toilet paper roll and cut it in half; decorate one half with washi paper or colored paper to make the base.

Cut the other half into long, thin strips and shape them into cherry blossom petals.

Create a petal-shaped template from construction paper, then cut pink origami to match.

Sandwich and glue the toilet paper roll petals between the origami petals—the roll’s natural curve adds a nice accent to each petal.

Attach the petals to the decorated base, add any embellishments you like, and it’s done.

You can stick it directly on the wall or punch a hole and thread a string to hang it.

Try decorating your room in spring colors!

A simple flower made with an accordion fold

Easy Cute Paper Origami Flower: How to Make a Flower [Origami Paper Easy]

When we think of spring, we often picture lush natural landscapes, with flowers we don’t even know the names of blooming everywhere.

This piece is about creating those vibrant, colorful spring flowers using combinations of origami.

The process is to accordion-fold the paper, then fold the whole piece in half and round off the edges with a cut.

After that, open it up, connect the pieces, and shape them into a circle.

By changing the colors of the origami or varying the sizes, let’s create a colorful flower field.

cherry blossom twig

Cute Cherry Blossom Decorations Made with Origami (with Voice Commentary)

Introducing a cherry blossom twig decoration that symbolizes spring in Japan.

Once you have pink origami paper ready, let’s make the blossoms.

Using a round dish or similar object makes it easy.

Cut out a circle, fold it in half, then fold it again so it becomes one-third the original size.

Sketch a petal shape with a pencil and cut along the line.

When you unfold it, you’ll have a cherry blossom with six petals.

Overlap one petal onto the neighboring petal to give it a three-dimensional shape.

Make a branch from brown origami paper and leaves from green origami paper, then attach them along with the blossoms to finish.

It looks adorable when added to a message card or gift box.

Give it a try!

Here’s an introduction to a recreation craft using plastic bottle caps.

First, prepare two plastic bottles.

Put them together and wrap them all around with double-sided tape, except for the bottom.

Wrap brown paper cord around the outside.

At the top, wind a brown pipe cleaner around and stick it on.

If you add double-sided tape at the top and wrap a ribbon around it, it will look cute.

Poke a hole in the pipe cleaner and shape a pink pipe cleaner into a flower.

Attach it to the pipe cleaner that will serve as the stem, and insert it into the hole you made.

Your flower pot is complete! Have fun making it!

Tulips at the mall

Moll flower 🌷🌷🌷 tulip 🌷🌷🌷 #moll #craft #crafts #crafty #flower #flowers #handmade #handcrafted #howto

Here’s how to make an easy and cute tulip using chenille stems (pipe cleaners).

Prepare two chenille stems in your favorite color for the petals and two green ones for the leaves.

Fold each stem in half, stack the folded points together, twist them, then align the ends with the knot at the top.

Twist the aligned part to secure it—this completes the leaf.

For the flower, twist once at the center while the stems are still aligned, then fold up again and twist to secure.

Round the shapes, and curl the extended ends to form the petals.

Make three identical petal pieces and glue them together to complete the flower.

Attach the flower and leaves to a plastic stick to finish your chenille-stem tulip.

Wrapping it or bundling several together into a bouquet makes it even more decorative.
