Hanging ornament of an origami kusudama
A colorful kusudama hanging decoration made from origami in various colors is perfect for displaying around Hina dolls! First, fold the origami in half vertically, then fold both sides toward the crease you made and unfold.
Next, fold two corners on a diagonal into small triangles.
Then again, fold both sides toward the initial center crease.
From the short edge, fold toward the center to make a triangle, and tuck the folded section inside.
Once you’ve made all the necessary creases, one kusudama unit is complete! Make many of these units and assemble them to form the kusudama.
Thread a string through it and hang it from a wooden board to display.
Tulips and butterflies
Speaking of spring, it’s the season when vividly colored flowers begin to bloom.
Among them, tulips, which blossom in a variety of colors, are especially popular as a spring flower.
This article introduces ideas for wall decorations featuring tulip and butterfly motifs.
Use two sheets of origami, cut each in half, and make tulips.
If you sketch the petal shapes with a pen first, they’re easier to cut out.
Glue the cut petals together to give them a three-dimensional look.
Curling the tips of the petals adds extra charm—highly recommended! Make the stems, leaves, and butterflies, then arrange and attach them to complete the display.
Soft-colored tulips with butterflies fluttering around them will warm the hearts of those who see them.
How about using this as a March wall decoration?
Tulips and Daisies
When it comes to flowers that bloom in spring, tulips are a classic—their richly varied, colorful blossoms capture the excitement of the season.
This decoration features colorful tulips made from origami, arranged side by side to look just like a flower field.
The key to the flowers is to crease them firmly so they take on a three-dimensional shape, creating a cute, rounded look.
It’s also recommended to place daisy (marguerite) motifs around them; consider the balance as you arrange everything to make it look even more beautiful.

Tulip wreath
This wreath, which arranges tulips into a circle while highlighting their shape, is an origami piece whose impression changes depending on how the flowers are placed.
Whether you align the direction of the flowers and stems or vary their angles slightly will affect how cohesive the design feels.
By considering color combinations, you can tighten the overall look or steer it toward a softer mood.
Introducing variations in the flowers’ heights helps prevent a flat appearance.
Finally, surveying the whole and adjusting the placement stabilizes the shape and improves how it looks when displayed.
The bright colors of the finished wreath gently stand out in a space and evoke the arrival of spring.
A hanging ornament of yo-yo quilt made from fabric scraps
Let’s make a hanging decoration with a calm, soothing feel using fabric with traditional Japanese patterns.
You can make this with fabric scraps, so prepare plenty of your favorite prints.
After making a paper pattern and cutting the fabric, fold it in half with the right sides together and sew the edges.
Once you have a loop, lightly fold in each end to crease them.
Fold it in half and sew all the way around with large stitches, then pull the thread to form a round shape.
Gently shape it, then thread a cord through along with small fabric balls stuffed with cotton.
Make five of these sets to complete a vibrant yo-yo quilt hanging decoration.
Hina-doll wreath
Let’s make a Hina doll wreath—an origami wreath.
You might think making a wreath sounds difficult, but for this one, both the wreath base and the Emperor and Empress dolls are made with just three folds each.
The three folds are simple and easy to do, making this a project that’s approachable for seniors.
Since origami involves using your fingertips, it’s also recommended as brain training for older adults.
Many senior care facilities incorporate origami, too.
The steps are simple, but the finished piece brightens the Peach Festival and evokes the feeling of spring.
Peach Blossom Wreath
Let’s make a peach blossom wreath you can enjoy even after making it.
First, cut out the center of a paper plate.
Then wrap it with pink nylon tape to complete the base of the wreath.
Next, decorate it with elements inspired by peach blossoms.
In addition to peach flowers, it’s also nice to design hina dolls—the Empress and Emperor—to match the season.
Once it’s finished, display it in your room and feel the arrival of spring.
By the way, if you change the flower motif, you can enjoy this craft in other seasons too.
