Three-dimensional cherry blossoms

When it comes to wall decorations, we tend to make flat pieces, don’t we? That’s nice too, but how about trying a three-dimensional wall piece once in a while? It feels fresh, and it also pairs well with other flat decorations.
It may take a bit of technique to make.
First, cut out cherry blossom petals from origami paper.
Next, assemble the petals to create a three-dimensional flower.
Each step isn’t hard, but you’ll be making a lot of them, so take breaks and enjoy the process.
Easy with a stapler! Cherry blossom decoration

How about making a mobile decorated with cherry blossoms? If you hang it from the ceiling, you can enjoy a hanami atmosphere even away from the walls.
Another feature of this craft is that by using a stapler, you can give the petals a three-dimensional look.
It might sound a bit difficult, but don’t worry—there are only two places where you need to staple.
Also, by adjusting the size of the parts you staple, you can easily change the overall size.
Mixing large and small pieces looks beautiful, too.
Cherry blossom decorations made with tissue paper

We’d like to introduce a super-easy cherry blossom decoration made with tissue paper—perfect for facility event displays or day-service recreation! Tissue paper is a familiar material for many older adults, so why not give it a try? Stack several sheets of tissue paper, fold them in an accordion, and tie the center with packing twine.
Round off both ends with scissors, then gently fan it out, and you’ve got a cherry blossom! Staff can make the tree trunk, have participants create the blossoms, and then decorate the wall—it will look lovely.
The impression changes depending on how you display them, so feel free to arrange and enjoy!

cherry blossoms in full bloom

The sight of cherry blossoms in full bloom heralds the arrival of spring, doesn’t it? Here’s how to make items that let you enjoy hanami indoors.
Stack five sheets of tissue paper, accordion-fold them, staple the center, then round off the edges with scissors.
Carefully fan out each layer one by one, and you’ll have soft, three-dimensional cherry blossoms.
Using pale pink or white paper as a background creates a gentle, springlike atmosphere.
You can also fold origami paper into a triangle and cut out petal shapes; once you glue the pieces together, your wall decoration is complete.
weeping cherry (tree)
The drooping branches covered with many blossoms make the weeping cherry tree especially beautiful.
How about recreating that look with a wall display? All you need are simple craft supplies like origami or colored paper, scissors, and a craft knife.
Crumple pink origami paper to add creases all over, then cut it out in the shape of cherry blossom petals.
Next, attach them to branch pieces made by folding brown construction paper into rectangles.
Finally, glue on multiple petals, layering them while gradually changing the shades of pink to create a gradient—and you’re done!
Cherry Blossom Tampon Stencil

Some people may not be good at folding paper or drawing illustrations.
In that case, I’d like to suggest using a stencil template.
A stencil template is a stainless-steel plate, and some are sold with holes shaped like cherry blossom petals.
Using one makes it easy to draw cherry blossom petals.
You can also use it by filling in the holes to depict cherry blossoms.
Be careful, though—the edges of stencil templates can be sharp and may cut your hands.
Japanese-style cherry blossom wall decoration

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.
