Many seniors eagerly look forward to the cherry blossoms blooming, don’t they? Before the blossoms open outdoors, why not fold cherry blossoms indoors and feel the arrival of spring a little early? This delicate craft is completed by making several small cherry blossoms and layering them.

There are many fine steps, but you’ll feel a real sense of accomplishment when it’s finished.

Let’s make each petal one by one using small pink origami paper.

Glue the petals together, attach the leaves, and your cherry blossom is complete.

Make several blossoms to form a wreath, or decorate a garland or a wall—any of these would look lovely.

Night Sakura and Day Sakura

Spring mural production: Night Cherry Blossoms and Daytime Cherry Blossoms

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.

The Emperor Doll and the Empress Doll in Origami

[Origami] How to Make the Emperor and Empress (Odairi-sama and Ohina-sama)

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!

Spring floral arrangement

[100-Yen Artificial Flowers / Seria] How to Make a Spring Frame Arrangement / Easy, Cute Handmade Home Decor / Great for Gifts

Here’s a frame arrangement using materials you can get at a 100-yen shop.

Display it by your front door or in a room to easily bring a sense of spring.

All you need is a frame and artificial flowers.

First, remove the back panel of the frame and check the size.

When attaching the artificial flowers to the back panel, be careful not to let them overlap the edges, or the frame won’t close.

Decide on a layout with a focal flower in the center and surrounding flowers, then trim the stems and attach them slightly inward so the back can close.

If you can close it without crushing the flowers, you’re done.

The steps are simple, making it a great activity for recreation in senior facilities as well.
