Sakura wreath made of felt
Felt creations have a soft, cozy texture, don’t they? This felt cherry blossom wreath is a spring-like motif that brightens up any space just by being displayed.
Make five evenly spaced cuts in the pink felt.
Shape each section into a cherry blossom petal.
Sew them together with a needle and thread to form a three-dimensional cherry blossom.
Make white felt blossoms the same way, then add color with blush.
Create small pom-poms from yarn and attach each one to wire to finish.
Be sure to work carefully and safely when using needles and wire.
A cherry blossom wreath—familiar and beloved by many older adults—will warm the hearts of everyone who sees it.
The Emperor Doll and the Empress Doll in Origami
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!
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.
Origami Peach Blossom Wreath
This is a “peach blossom wreath” made with origami, recommended as a wall decoration for March.
It’s a bright, festive wreath perfect for Girls’ Day (Hinamatsuri), so even seniors may feel inspired to try making it.
The wreath’s base pieces are also folded from origami.
Make seven simple base units and combine them to form the wreath shape.
For the peach blossoms, create crease lines in the origami, fold them into shape, and assemble.
Adding a center to each blossom makes it look even more like a real peach flower.
Attach the finished peach blossoms to the wreath to complete it.
Origami is a seated activity that also allows for conversation with those around you, making it a great recreation.
Please enjoy the process as you create!
