Sakura haiku decoration
Let’s make a haiku decoration adorned with cherry blossoms.
Cut pink origami paper into thin strips and overlap the ends to glue them into a loop.
Flatten the loop, then fold one side inward to shape a petal.
The key is to give it a rounded form.
Make five of the same petals and glue them together to create a cherry blossom.
Write your haiku on a backing sheet made from construction paper and attach the blossom to complete a lovely wall decoration.
Add extra petals, too, and enjoy arranging them.
If you write haiku you came up with during a cherry-blossom viewing activity or a nature walk activity, it will become a delightful, memorable keepsake.
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.

Collage of cherry blossoms
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.
Sakura Paper Cutout
Do you know the paper-cutting artist Kanako Yaguchi? How should I put it—her kirigami pieces are fun to look at, beautiful to display, and make you marvel, “Is this all paper cutting?” If you’re curious, definitely look her up.
Here, we’re introducing a sakura (cherry blossom) kirigami project.
Even if you’ve never tried kirigami before, don’t worry—there are motifs that beginners can tackle with ease.
When you bring together each individual piece, they can become a striking wall decoration, so invite lots of friends and enjoy a wonderful time together!
Sakura mochi
Simply sticking origami with spring-themed motifs onto a plain calendar can instantly transform it into an exciting spring-season calendar.
Sakura mochi, a traditional Japanese sweet enjoyed when the cherry blossoms bloom, has a soft, fluffy texture that feels very spring-like and is so familiar it’s even used as a seasonal word in haiku.
Its pink color is bright and festive, so it’s highly recommended.
Both the mochi part and the leaf part have simple folding methods, so you can try them casually.
For the leaf, use slightly muted green origami to create the right atmosphere.
Hanging ornaments of plum blossoms and Japanese bush warblers
Here’s a seasonal hanging decoration you can make with materials from a 100-yen shop.
First, make the base: cut paper straws into short pieces and thread a pipe cleaner through them to form a pentagon.
Next, the Japanese bush warbler.
Cut green origami paper and washi paper into circles, layer them, and glue them together.
Add a beak and tail from origami, and stick on eye stickers to finish the bird.
For the plum blossoms, cut pink origami into small circles, layer and glue them, and add a bead at the center.
Attach the decorations to the base, add a hanging string, and it’s complete.
The plum blossoms and bush warbler seem to herald the arrival of spring.
Please give it a try and display it!
plum blossoms
Plum blossoms have long been beloved by the Japanese as flowers that herald the arrival of spring.
Because they announce the start of the season, they are considered auspicious.
Their Chinese characters also carry the meaning of bringing abundance, which adds to their good fortune.
As flowers to accompany Hina dolls, which are displayed with wishes for children’s health and growth, plum blossoms are a perfect choice.
This origami plum blossom is easy to make with simple steps.
There is a step where you use scissors to shape the petals, so please handle them with care.
Make lots of them and enjoy arranging them in different ways, such as creating a garland or making a wreath by attaching them to a backing.
