For Seniors: Feel the Arrival of Warm Spring. Cherry Blossom Wall Decoration Ideas

Curtain of cherry blossoms

Easy Tissue Paper Sakura Curtain – Perfect for Graduation/Preschool Graduation, Wall Decorations, Parties, Weddings, Crafts, and Senior Activities

Let’s try making a cherry blossom curtain using tissue paper.

Because tissue paper is soft and slightly translucent, it’s perfect for expressing the delicate petals of cherry blossoms.

You can accordion-fold the tissue paper to create blossoms, or cut it into petal shapes and hang them.

When attaching string to the petals, use a needle threaded with the string to link the petals together.

You can hang the curtain in the facility’s windows, and older adults can also take theirs home to decorate their own spaces.

When the wind blows and the tissue-paper petals sway, it looks just like real cherry blossoms fluttering in the air.

You can adapt this idea for wall decorations as well, so give it a try!

Swaying hanging ornaments

[Easy] Origami ✨Hanging Sakura Decoration 🌸 [3D ✨Weeping Cherry Blossoms] Also great for Hinamatsuri 🎎 Paper Craft DIY Cherry Blossoms. Origami

Here’s an introduction to a cherry blossom hanging decoration that looks beautiful as it sways in the breeze.

Cut origami or construction paper into rectangles and accordion-fold it five times.

Trim any excess and staple the center.

Draw cherry blossom petals on the accordion-folded piece and cut them out.

Apply glue to the center, stick the parts together, and shape it.

Attach a string to the back to finish.

If you make and hang many blossoms, it will look even more lovely.

It seems like you could make plenty of blossoms while chatting with seniors.

Please use this as a reference for making decorations.

Pop-up cherry blossoms

Kimie Gangi's spring wall display: '3D Pop-Up Sakura 2' (a three-dimensional cherry blossom display)

This is a three-dimensional cherry blossom wall decoration that bursts into full bloom when opened.

Prepare seven pieces of paper cut into cherry blossom shapes and assemble them so they pop up.

Then attach them to a backing sheet and neatly insert additional petal pieces into the gaps to finish.

It looks so luxurious you’ll want to reach out and touch it.

Of course, it makes a great wall decoration, but it’s also perfect as a mechanism in a message card.

Imagine a message card where cherry blossoms spread open the moment you unfold it—how lovely!

Cherry blossom garland

[Senior Recreation] Cherry Blossom Garland [Easy Craft]

The decorative motif of a flower wreath is called a garland in English.

A cherry blossom garland is a wall decoration that enhances the sweet, charming impression of sakura by arranging them like a wreath.

You can make it with pink construction paper, but using pink-toned washi paper gives the design even more character.

The key to this design is folding the prepared paper into petal shapes and then opening them up so they become three-dimensional toward the center.

Finally, thread multiple petals—each with a small hole—onto a long, narrow strip of construction paper, and your lovely garland will bring a touch of color to the room!

The cherry blossoms fade.

Kimie Gangi’s spring wall display: “Cherry Blossom Haze made with Color Spray” (spattering)

Do you know the word “hanagasumi”? Hanagasumi refers to the scene where cherry blossoms in full bloom look slightly hazy when viewed from a distance.

Would you like to create a wall decoration that recreates that beautiful look? I recommend using a color spray technique.

First, prepare a sheet of paper about the same size as your wall and stick on cherry blossoms made from cut paper.

Finally, spray color on in a mottled pattern, and it’s done.

By the way, magenta tends to capture the hanagasumi image well.

Hanging decorations of cherry blossoms in full bloom

A “full-bloom cherry blossom hanging decoration” made with paper plates and origami, using DAISO’s translucent spring chiyogami.

Hanging decorations featuring cherry blossoms in full bloom are also a popular design.

The key is to use semi-transparent chiyogami paper you can buy at a 100-yen shop.

You’ll also need a paper plate and craft cord.

First, cut a circular ring out of the paper plate.

Take the two resulting rings and secure them at four points each with double-sided tape, then attach the cherry blossom chiyogami.

Next, trim off any excess, and use a flower-shaped punch to cut the chiyogami into cherry blossom shapes.

Finally, stick those petals around the circumference of the original paper circle—and you’re done.

It’s easy to make, so give it a try!

Cherry Blossom Torn-Paper Collage

INORI Sakura Project — Creating Cherry Blossom Torn-Paper Collages

As a warm, handmade-feeling idea, torn-paper collage (chigiri-e) is also recommended.

You can use a cherry tree as the motif or design only the cherry blossoms—the high degree of freedom is a key feature.

Start with a rough sketch and then paste the paper onto it; that should make the process smoother.

By the way, in chigiri-e, light colors appear as if they’re lit by light, while dark colors look like shadows.

Keep that in mind and adjust the color tones accordingly.
