[For Seniors] Recommended in March! Wall Decoration Ideas (1–10)
Dandelion decorations made with tissue paperNEW!
Spring is the season when all kinds of flowers begin to bloom, and their colorful, soft appearance really highlights the warmth of the season.
Among these classic spring blossoms, this decoration features dandelions made from tissue paper to evoke a springtime feel.
For the flower heads, stack sheets of tissue paper, fold them in an accordion, tie them together, snip cuts into the edges, then fan them out to shape.
For stems and leaves, origami or construction paper is recommended—use different materials from the flower parts to emphasize the flower’s softness.
A key point is the versatility: you can stick them onto a background or attach strings and hang them, allowing for a variety of display styles.
A hanging ornament of yo-yo quilt made from fabric scrapsNEW!
Let’s make a hanging decoration with a calm, soothing feel using fabric with traditional Japanese patterns.
You can make this with fabric scraps, so prepare plenty of your favorite prints.
After making a paper pattern and cutting the fabric, fold it in half with the right sides together and sew the edges.
Once you have a loop, lightly fold in each end to crease them.
Fold it in half and sew all the way around with large stitches, then pull the thread to form a round shape.
Gently shape it, then thread a cord through along with small fabric balls stuffed with cotton.
Make five of these sets to complete a vibrant yo-yo quilt hanging decoration.
Wreath, three-dimensional Hina decorationNEW!
This is a decoration that conveys a sense of splendor, featuring spring motifs such as Hina dolls, peach blossoms, tachibana, and cherry blossoms.
The base is made by linking rings formed from strips of origami cut into long, narrow pieces and rolled up, and each ring is adorned with a motif to add color.
Decide what colors to use for the rings and, to match them, what colors to use for the motifs, creating the piece while considering the overall balance.
Depending on the size of the motifs, you can also make the rings stand out, so adjusting that balance is another important point.
Plump StrawberryNEW!
Spring is the season that overcomes winter and brings abundant harvests, and we find more chances to see colors that feel warm.
This decoration features a strawberry motif that evokes the warmth of spring, layered with leaves for a colorful look.
The key is to crease both the leaf parts and the strawberry parts firmly—create them so they have a three-dimensional feel, then layer them together.
Treat each layered strawberry-and-leaf as a single set, and enhance the sense of depth by experimenting with how you arrange those sets.
Balancing with the background is also an important point for conveying warmth.
Hanging Hina Dolls Made with Jam LidsNEW!
https://www.tiktok.com/@an_hoiku_seisaku/video/7467532660332596488Let’s make an original hanging decoration using jam jar lids, origami paper, construction paper, tissue paper, and kite string.
The origami part will be Hina dolls.
First, fold up two adjacent edges.
Fold so that the folded section and the remaining section are the same width.
Draw faces on the remaining white area, and fold up the bottom corner to finish.
With construction paper, we’ll make a spherical ornament: cut it into circles, fold them in half, then stack and glue them together.
Attach the Hina dolls and ornaments to the kite string, tie them to a lid frame (with only the rim remaining), and finish by gluing rolled-up tissue paper to the side.
Hanging Hina Dolls Made with Paper PlatesNEW!
https://www.tiktok.com/@chii_1514m/video/7605145471455120660This is a paper-plate hanging decoration you’ll want to display in your room.
First, glue torn pieces of pink and white tissue paper onto a paper plate.
Then make a hole in the center of the plate and thread yarn tied to a straw through it.
On the opposite side, add a bead as a stopper and glue it in place.
Thread twine through the straw and attach paper hina dolls made from construction paper to the end.
Punch four holes at the bottom of the paper plate, thread yarn decorated with paper peach blossoms and circular ornaments through them, and tie to finish.
Simply changing the colors of the tissue paper and construction paper will give it a different feel.
Hanging Hina decoration made with accordion foldingNEW!
https://www.tiktok.com/@mii_no_seisak/video/7602914620805745941Let me show you how to make a hanging Hina decoration that anyone can create easily.
First, accordion-fold a plain sheet of origami paper and fold it in half.
Then, sandwich a patterned origami paper folded the same way inside and glue them together.
This will become the body of the Hina doll.
After that, just attach a face and small accessories made from construction paper and you’re done.
Next, let’s make decorations like peach blossoms and hishi-mochi.
Tie kite string to a base made from a tapioca (bubble tea) straw, then glue on the Hina dolls and the decorations, and you’re all set! If cutting out the parts is difficult, prepare them in advance.
