Easy hanging Hina dolls made from cardboard
You can easily make hanging Hina dolls using familiar materials like cardboard.
The steps are simple: cut the cardboard into an egg shape, draw the faces, and attach kimonos made from origami paper.
Even with this simple process, you’ll end up with very cute Emperor and Empress dolls.
You can also make small items that evoke the Peach Festival, such as peach blossoms and hishi-mochi, and hang everything on a string to finish.
If you add the three court ladies in the same way as the Emperor and Empress, it will create a lively atmosphere.
Since there are many steps that use your fingertips, you can also expect a brain-training effect.
They say the fingertips and the brain are connected by many nerves—so much so that the hands are called the “second brain.”
Pop-up cherry blossoms
From cherry trees laden with blossoms, one can sometimes feel a sense of luxury and impact.
The more cherry trees there are, the stronger that feeling can be, right? Let’s help older adults pick up on that atmosphere from the walls of facilities decorated with cherry-themed works.
We’ll make cherry blossoms of different sizes and colors out of construction paper.
Attach the tips of the petals you’ve made with glue.
The key is to be thoughtful about the order in which you attach them.
With a bit of planning, several blossoms can come together to create a three-dimensional finish.
Display them on the wall, and add some petals alongside to enhance the overall look even more.
Even seniors who find it difficult to go out may be able to feel the spirit of hanami by looking at these three-dimensional cherry decorations.
five-tier Hina-doll display
These days, it’s become rare to see impressive Hina doll displays like five-tier or seven-tier sets.
Some older people may feel a bit lonely, thinking, “They used to be displayed in so many places.” In that case, why not use time during day-service recreation to have staff and participants work together to create a magnificent five-tier display on the wall? If you prepare the base tiers and small parts in advance, everyone can have fun decorating while discussing how to arrange everything!
Cherry Blossom Fan
This wall decoration features a fan adorned with vibrant cherry blossom patterns, as if expressing the joy of spring’s arrival.
You can use store-bought paper with cherry blossom designs, but you can also create a beautiful handmade pattern by arranging cherry blossom-shaped cutouts of washi paper on a backing sheet and spraying over them.
A pink gradient looks lovely, and adding gold spray gives it an elegant finish.
Finally, glue the completed cherry blossom patterned paper to black construction paper, accordion-fold them together, and secure the end with a small piece of black construction paper—done!
Honeybees and a flower field
Spring—what do you imagine? Cute honeybees and flower fields… how perfectly spring-like! Would you like to make those two motifs? First, prepare origami paper, A4 copier paper, scissors, a craft knife, glue, colored pencils, and a pencil.
It might be a good idea to divide up the tasks and work together.
If you make them in a big group, chatting and having fun, you’ll grow fond of the finished pieces, right? You could even use them as decorations for a calendar! Be sure to give it a try!
