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.
Origami hanging Hina decorations
Origami hanging hina decorations can make you feel the arrival of spring when you display them in your room for the Peach Festival.
Because hanging hina are considered lucky charms, they have long been beloved in Japan.
Try making them by hand as a wish for the growth of your cherished grandchildren or children.
Create each essential Peach Festival piece out of origami—such as the hina dolls, peach blossoms, hishimochi, folding fans, and dumplings.
Some steps may be intricate, but they’re perfect for fine-motor rehabilitation for older adults.
Origami has a handmade warmth, so you’ll end up with a heartwarming hanging hina.
Tsurushi-bina made with materials from a 100-yen shop
The Doll Festival (Hinamatsuri) comes from parents’ wishes for their children to grow up healthy.
The hanging hina decorations introduced here are easy to make, since you can get all the materials at a 100-yen shop.
Did you know that each part of a hanging hina has its own meaning? The peach symbolizes longevity, the strawberry wards off misfortune, the rabbit repels evil, and the dumpling signifies not having trouble with food, among other important origins.
Made with adhesive fabric paper that has a chirimen (crepe) look, the result is a charming, atmospheric ornament.
The ceiling-hanging style is also nice because it doesn’t take up floor space and can go almost anywhere.
Let’s try making a tiered display with tsurushi-bina (hanging hina ornaments).
Tsurushi decorations are indispensable for Hinamatsuri events held at senior facilities and day service centers.
They’re beautiful ornaments that brighten up the atmosphere when quietly displayed in a room.
This time, let’s make a tiered display of the Imperial Prince (Odairisama) and the Imperial Princess (Ohinasama).
First, draw the pictures and cut them out.
Then make the fan and hair ornaments as well.
Finally, draw the faces to complete the pieces.
Since you can freely draw their expressions, please finish it as a one-of-a-kind creation that’s uniquely yours.
Hinamatsuri mobile
Let us introduce a delightful Hinamatsuri mobile that gently sways and looks adorable! It’s easy to make with everyday materials and budget-friendly, too.
If you’re looking for a craft project for Girls’ Day, why not try this idea? Prepare parts made by cutting colored paper into circles, folding them in half and gluing them together; petal-shaped pieces cut like cherry blossoms; and strips of paper folded accordion-style.
After that, simply attach all the parts to yarn! You can freely enjoy customizing it by changing the color combinations and shapes.

Peach blossom in origami
Here’s how to fold a “three-dimensional peach blossom” that looks lovely hung on a wall or attached to a wreath.
The finished piece recreates a realistic peach flower.
It might seem complicated, but the process is simple: you make five separate petals and then assemble them.
It’s a project that older adults may also find approachable.
Origami is a recreational activity you can enjoy while chatting with those around you.
Try folding together with seniors who may feel it’s difficult, and enjoy the conversation as you go.
This three-dimensional peach blossom is soothing both to make and to display.
Hanging hina dolls made from origami and coloring pages
This time, let’s make a hanging hina decoration featuring origami and coloring pages.
Hanging hina are an essential motif for Girls’ Day (Hinamatsuri) and evoke the coming of spring.
First, draw peach blossoms, then use origami to make cranes and balloons.
The hina dolls can be finished quickly using coloring pages, so it’s easy to complete.
Finally, hang everything with strings and you can display it in your room—very convenient.
It also brings a festive, elegant atmosphere when displayed for Hinamatsuri events at senior facilities or day service centers.
