Dandelion and Ladybug
When you hear “spring,” what comes to mind? I’m sure this motif will fit for some of you among the images you pictured.
Ladybugs and dandelions evoke a scene of sunlight filtering through the trees, don’t they? What you’ll need are origami paper, scissors, pinking shears, a craft knife, bamboo skewers, a pencil, wood glue, glue stick, colored pencils, a ruler, and templates.
Each step is careful and detailed, so it might be a good idea to divide up the tasks and work together! If you make lots of dandelions, it should look quite impressive.
Dandelion wreath
Spring is the season when the weather warms and many flowers begin to appear, and you’ll likely spot more dandelions as well.
This craft recreates dandelions—a quintessential spring flower—using origami and combines them into a wreath-like shape.
To make the dandelion flowers, fold a strip of origami paper in half and then fold it again to make it narrower, cut fine slits along the edge, roll it up, then spread and shape it.
The wreath base is made by assembling triangular units, and it’s recommended to use green to evoke leaves.
Finally, combine all the parts and add decorative elements like leaf pieces to complete the project.
Hina dolls made with toilet paper rolls and origami
This craft uses toilet paper rolls that you might otherwise throw away to make Hina dolls.
It requires very few materials, so if you’re looking for a Hinamatsuri craft, definitely give it a try! The basic method is simply to decorate cut toilet paper rolls with origami or Japanese-patterned paper.
Rounding the corners of the rolls gives them a cute look! You can also make the kimono sleeves three-dimensional to add a touch of elegance.
Since this is a highly flexible craft, try creating your own original Hina dolls!

Night Sakura and Day Sakura
Even with the same cherry blossoms, those viewed in the daytime and at night each have their own unique charm.
Let’s display both versions on the wall so that seniors can enjoy comparing the differences.
If you use soft washi paper to create the blossoms and trees, it will bring out the delicacy of the cherry blossoms.
Arrange many washi cherry blossoms against a yellow background for daytime and a blue background for nighttime.
Adding warblers or honeybees to the daytime scene, and the moon or stars to the nighttime scene, will make the piece even more lovely.
Some seniors might even be reminded of songs like “Sakura Sakura” or “Yozakura Oshichi” by the wall display.
Cherry blossom wall decoration
Let’s make a cherry-blossom wall decoration that lets you feel the arrival of spring even indoors.
You’ll need origami paper, a craft punch, scissors, and similar supplies.
The appeal is that you can make it with materials you have on hand.
Prepare dark pink origami paper and fold it twice to form a triangle.
After folding along the creases several times, mark it with a pen and cut with scissors.
When you unfold it, you’ll have a cherry blossom with beautifully symmetrical petals.
Make another blossom the same way using light pink origami in a slightly smaller size, and create leaves from green origami.
Accordion-fold the leaves to add veins for a realistic look.
Use a craft punch to make the center parts of the blossoms and attach them, and your cherry blossoms are ready.
Mount them on a backing sheet, and your lovely cherry-blossom wall decoration is complete.
The Emperor Doll and the Empress Doll in Origami
Let’s try folding a cute set of Hina dolls with origami! Fold the kimono, face, and head parts for both the Empress (Ohinasama) and the Emperor (Odairisama) separately.
Glue the face part onto the hair part, then attach them to the kimono part.
Add the small accessories you made separately, and finish by drawing the facial features.
To make them look even more like Hina dolls, try displaying them in creative ways—such as sticking them in a frame decorated with peach blossoms or standing them on a red base to resemble a tiered Hina stand.
Have fun with the display, too!
Bush warblers and Japanese white-eyes
These wall decorations of bush warblers and Japanese white-eyes evoke the arrival of spring.
After folding the birds from origami paper, draw small, cute black eyes for the bush warbler, and distinctive white-and-black contrasting eyes for the Japanese white-eye.
They can stand on their own, so you can display them on a surface, or pair them with other spring-themed decorations like cherry or plum blossoms on the wall.
By feeling the season through crafting, even those who find it hard to go out might think, “This spring, maybe I’ll take a walk and listen to the birdsong!”
