cherry blossom arch window

[Origami] Kirigami Flowers (25): Sakura Arch Window 🌸 Cherry Blossom Window

These days, many homes are being built with smaller windows for security reasons.

From a safety perspective, that’s understandable to an extent.

How about your home? If you have a plain, empty wall, why not create a “cherry blossom arch window” that looks like a real window there? Imagine stained glass in a church, but made with colored paper.

Use light blue for the window to evoke the color of the sky, and decorate each pane with cherry blossoms in your own style.

Origami works, paper cutouts work—there’s no one right way.

A variety of cherry blossoms would be lovely.

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!

Collage of cherry blossoms

Cherry Blossom Collage — Handmade Spring Recreation — All materials from the 100-yen shop!

Why not feel the arrival of spring with a cherry blossom collage? Prepare a sheet of stiff black cardstock and cut it in half.

Use a cherry blossom craft punch to cut designs from patterned paper or origami, making lots of blossoms.

Draw the tree trunk on the black cardstock with a white colored pencil, then glue on the blossoms.

Layer them so they overlap and fill in the gaps.

When applying glue, don’t coat the entire piece—apply it only to part of each blossom and attach it lightly to create a three-dimensional effect.

The contrast of vivid blossoms against the black cardstock makes for a beautiful piece.

Because it uses fine finger movements, it’s great for finger dexterity training for seniors.

Consider incorporating it into craft recreation activities at senior care facilities.

Wreath of daffodils and roses

[Origami] Daffodil and Rose Wreath

Daffodils bloom until early spring, and roses bloom around late spring, so even though their seasons are offset, both can be said to be representative spring flowers.

This is a simple yet dimensional wreath with a glamorous look that combines daffodils and roses.

Another key point is that the wreath base and stem parts are kept flat, which helps emphasize the three-dimensionality of the daffodil and rose blossoms.

For each flower, it’s important to deliberately add fine creases, cuts, and bends, and to shape them carefully so that a sense of depth and volume comes through.
