For Seniors: Recommended in March! Wall Decoration Ideas (21–30)
rapeseed blossoms
The soft texture of tissue paper perfectly captures the feel of rapeseed flowers! This is a wall decoration of rapeseed blossoms that you can make one stem at a time and arrange freely.
Cut yellow tissue paper into large and small flower shapes using a template.
Cut green tissue paper into leaf shapes, then accordion-fold to create creases, and crumple it to add a leafy texture.
Finally, attach the flowers and leaves in a balanced way to a long, narrow backing strip, and you’re done! Display it together with spring motifs like cherry blossoms and butterflies to fill your room with the spirit 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.

cherry blossoms in full bloom
When people think of spring flowers, many probably picture cherry blossoms.
After the cold season, the moment cherry blossoms begin to bloom, you can feel spring arriving.
Let’s try making a wall decoration of cherry blossoms in full bloom.
The blossoms are made by layering tissue paper.
Since tissue paper tears easily, the key is to open it gently.
Make small cherry blossoms from origami, and once you attach them together with the tissue-paper blossoms to the tree trunk, it’s complete.
Among older adults, there are some who have fewer opportunities to go out.
Cherry blossoms in full bloom displayed on the wall can bring a sense of spring indoors, making them perfect as wall decorations for senior care facilities.
Please feel free to use this as a reference.
Plum Blossoms and the Japanese Bush Warbler
The wall decorations of plum blossoms and bush warblers are absolutely lovely.
The gentle colors evoke the arrival of spring and will brighten up the room with a festive feel.
If you make them in a three-dimensional way, they’ll look even more realistic and be even more fun.
Since you’ll be using your hands, it’s a good bit of exercise and also helps build concentration.
It sounds fun to make them together with everyone’s cooperation, too.
Once you finish, you’re sure to feel a sense of accomplishment.
With these seasonal decorations, everyday life will feel even more enjoyable.
By all means, have fun making them together.
Hina doll display
Among older adults, some may associate major events in March with the Peach Festival (Hinamatsuri).
So this time, we’re introducing a Hina decoration craft that can be displayed both on facility walls and in residents’ rooms.
Start by making a fan-shaped base out of construction paper, then attach origami figures of the Emperor (Odairi-sama) and Empress (Ohina-sama) on top.
If you also make and add peach blossoms and pine needles, it will create a festive atmosphere.
It’s also lovely to decorate the wall with the Hina display alongside large pink, crimson, and white peach blossoms.
Through making these Hina decorations, some people may find themselves reminiscing about their own, their children’s, or their grandchildren’s Peach Festival celebrations.
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?
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.
