Exercise set to music, in particular, always created a cheerful atmosphere and was very well received.

Kimie Gangi May wall display: “A Big, Big Bouquet of Carnations.” #Mother’sDay #paperCraft #wallDecor #Mothers_Day #DIY #carnation #May

carnation

Carnations have long been cherished as flowers to give on Mother’s Day in May.

With their frilly petals and a look that’s both delicate and glamorous, they’re also a popular choice for bouquets! How about using carnations for a May wall decoration? Each carnation petal is made by cutting construction paper into strips and then trimming those into finer pieces.

When making the strip cuts, pinking shears that create a zigzag edge are handy.

Create the calyx, leaves, and stem by cutting construction paper as well.

When turning them into wall decor, you can add a ribbon to give it a gift-like feel, or arrange them like a flower bed or a bouquet for a lovely touch!

Tulips and butterflies

[Craft Idea] Tulip & Butterfly Quilling (April Spring) (Wall Decoration) (Elderly Recreation, Day Service, Occupational Therapy OT, Childcare, Creative Activity) (3D Decoration) (DIY)

Tulips and butterflies

This is a 3D wall decoration of tulips and butterflies made with paper quilling.

Cut two types of paper, such as red and yellow, into rectangles and apply double-sided tape to one edge.

Wrap the paper around a bamboo skewer and roll it to create quilled rings for the petals.

Arrange the parts inside each ring and glue them tightly with no gaps to complete the three-dimensional tulips.

Make the leaves with the same quilling method; giving them a gentle curl adds a soft, flowing look.

When making the butterfly, vary the colors and sizes of the wings as you quill.

For the antennae, tightly roll thin strips of paper to make them look realistic.

Because this involves many fine finger movements, it can also serve as a hand dexterity exercise for older adults.

Tulips and windmills

[Craft Idea] Tulips (March/April, spring) (wall decorations) (senior recreation/OT/day services) (early childhood education) (3D) (origami) (windmill) (DIY)

Tulips and windmills

The wall decorations of tulips and windmills that evoke a spring atmosphere feature a bright, warm design.

Cut red and yellow origami paper to make the tulip petals.

Add small slits at the tips of the petals and glue them overlapping to create a three-dimensional effect.

Make the stems and leaves with green origami, and when arranged on the wall, it gives the impression of a field of spring plants spreading out.

For the windmills, cut out the base and cross-shaped parts and assemble them into a windmill.

Finely cut the propeller section, add windows and embellishments, and glue them on to enhance the three-dimensional look.

The vivid colors of the tulips and the windmill design create wall decorations that convey the warmth of spring.

Tulip hina

[Craft Idea] Tulip Hina Dolls (March Hina Festival) (Wall Decorations • Senior Recreation • Occupational Therapy OT • Day Service • Childcare) (Origami • Colored Construction Paper) (DIY) (Tulips • Peach Blossoms) (Simple 3D Craft)

Tulip hina

Tulips are one of the essentials of spring, and the way their brightly colored flowers bloom so vigorously conveys the joy of the season.

This craft combines tulip blossoms with Hinamatsuri (Girls’ Day) motifs to create a project that feels distinctly springlike.

The base is construction paper cut into a tulip shape; onto this, you add origami clothing and decorations to complete the Hinamatsuri theme.

For the two main figures, make slits and then glue them together to give them a three-dimensional look so they stand out from the rest—that’s the key point.

Finish it off with leaf parts and surrounding tulips to create an overall festive look.

Rose

How to make a paper flower rose wall decoration using construction paper! Why not try creating a pink rose decoration that blooms in spring and autumn? [Tsukuru Mon]

Rose

Roses are highly popular plants for viewing, growing, and giving as gifts.

Their noble, almost unapproachable look with thorns and their luxurious fragrance are distinctive, aren’t they? Roses are also highly recommended as a design to decorate walls.

Even a plain wall can instantly feel brighter just by adding flowers.

Fold construction paper and cut it with scissors to make each individual petal.

Then use glue to attach the petals to one another.

Since this is quite detailed work, if you’re doing it as a large group craft activity, it may be a good idea to divide responsibilities by parts.
