Fluffy wall-hanging Hina dolls

[Hanging Decoration] Fluffy! Wall-hanging Hina Dolls [March Craft Project]

Here’s a cute idea for round, plump hina dolls that are perfect as wall decorations! First, apply glue to the bottom of a paper plate and stick on some cotton.

Next, cut colored construction paper to make the hina doll parts, glue them together, and draw the faces.

Finally, attach the dolls onto the cotton and decorate with pom-poms to resemble hina-arare, and you’re done! It’s best to choose a deep paper plate so it can hold plenty of cotton.

When displaying on the wall, attach a ribbon to the back of the paper plate.

Full-bloom cherry blossoms made with tissue paper

Easy cherry blossom decoration made with tissue paper (with audio commentary)

Here’s a craft made with tissue paper that looks like fully bloomed double-flowered cherry blossoms.

Accordion-fold the tissue paper and tie the center with a plastic string.

A key tip is to split the ends of the plastic string; the frayed ends will stand in for the stamens and pistils of the cherry blossom.

Cut the tips of the accordion fold as well, then fan it out and shape it.

This will let you express the many layered petals of a double cherry blossom.

The plump, rounded blossoms are likely to delight older adults, too.

If you also make a cherry tree and decorate it with the double blossoms, you can enjoy a hanami atmosphere indoors.

Swaying Cherry Blossoms

[Craft Idea] Swaying Sakura — Cherry Blossom (April) (Wall Decorations) (Senior Recreation, Day Services, Occupational Therapy OT, Childcare) (Quilling) (Creative)

Here’s an idea for a wall decoration that evokes cherry blossom petals swaying in the wind.

Make petals by cutting origami paper into rectangles and forming each piece into a loop.

Combine four to five petals and glue a yellow piece in the center to create a three-dimensional cherry blossom.

If you press the inside of the flower and leaf pieces with a bamboo skewer to add curvature, they’ll gain a soft, rounded 3D look.

Connect the finished blossoms and leaves with thread and attach them to the wall so the design sways when a breeze passes through.

It’s a decoration that’s both visually striking and dynamic, letting you feel the arrival of spring.

Japanese bush warbler

[Made with One Sheet of Origami] Easy and Cute Bush Warbler (Facing Left) Folding Tutorial ◇ Origami Japanese Bush Warbler — Spring Little Bird, Uguisu ◇

When you hear the call “hoo-hokekyo,” it makes you think, “Spring is here,” doesn’t it? The Japanese bush warbler (uguisu) is familiar to many people, including seniors, as a bird that heralds spring.

So let’s try making a calendar with an uguisu motif.

You could use origami or a coloring-page design—either works nicely.

It’s also a great idea to add plum or peach blossoms.

There’s even a traditional auspicious expression, ‘ume ni uguisu’ (plum blossoms with a bush warbler).

Plum blossoms and the bush warbler are a well-matched pair, and because the two together symbolize harmony, the phrase is used to represent good fortune.

Incorporating this combination into your calendar’s layout would likely result in a lovely piece.

Japanese-style cherry blossom wall decoration

How to make a paper “Sakura wall decoration” / Sakura wall decoration made of paper: How to make it

A Japanese-style cherry blossom wall decoration is an elegant idea that evokes the feeling of spring.

By using black construction paper as the background, the pink blossoms will really stand out.

Wrap both edges of the construction paper with long, narrow strips of folded origami to create a Japanese-style frame.

Using pale pink or traditional Japanese-patterned origami will give it a soft impression.

Make cherry blossoms out of paper and arrange them harmoniously on the black background.

Varying the size of the flowers adds depth and a three-dimensional effect.

Adding Japanese-style accessories or branch motifs enhances the brilliance and brings a spring-like atmosphere.

Overall, it’s a decoration that embraces a Japanese aesthetic while letting you enjoy the colorful charm of cherry blossoms.
