cherry blossom arch window

Despite its simple look, the cherry blossom arch-window wall decoration adds a splash of color to your room.
An arch window is a semicircular window commonly seen in Western houses, characterized by an intricately designed window frame.
Inspired by that kind of window, the arch-window wall decoration uses origami shaped like a window, onto which you attach paper-cut cherry blossoms.
A single piece is charming on its own, and arranging several in a row will make an even greater visual impact.
Cherry blossom paper cutout

Arrange cherry blossom papercuts in various shapes and patterns to create a delicate and beautiful wall decoration! There’s also an easy method where you fold the paper and make a few cuts to quickly create cherry blossom cutouts, so people of all ages—from young children to seniors—can enjoy it.
After making cherry blossoms in different patterns, attach them to a backing sheet where you’ve drawn a tree trunk.
If you cut paper into a circle to make a frame, place it on the backing, and fill the inside with the cherry blossoms, it becomes easier to see where to paste the flowers and you can beautifully depict a cherry tree in full bloom!
Weeping cherry blossom garland

A garland that decorates with weeping cherry blossoms like a flower wreath makes an adorable wall hanging! Cut several sheets of pink origami into thirds, then snip them to create petal shapes.
Apply glue to the valley-folded sections and attach them to a thin pink wreath; repeat the same process for the remaining petals, and it will be finished in no time.
Adding red petals as accents on top of the pink floral decorations makes it look even more beautiful!
Full-bloom cherry blossom display

This is a display created by combining pieces of paper to evoke a cherry blossom tree, which is essential to spring in Japan.
The cherry blossoms are made simply by cutting circles into flower shapes, but adding creases to give them dimension at this stage will contribute to a fuller, more voluminous final look.
Once the flowers are finished, arrange them while considering their angles, and install them as if placing them on a tree to complete the whole piece.
Making the flowers in various colors to create a gradient will enhance the three-dimensional effect, so that approach is also recommended.
Wall decoration of fluttering cherry blossoms

How about a beautiful wall decoration with fluttering cherry blossoms? You can easily make this motif using only origami.
First, crease the right half of the paper with an X and fold it inward along those lines.
Next, fold it as if bringing it to the center, then open it up.
This will form a cherry blossom petal shape.
Make many petals like this and stick them on the wall.
If you design it while imagining the blossoms dancing in the air, it will turn out nicely.
Adding a tree trunk and leaves will make it even more beautiful.
cherry blossom petals

As the first of the four seasons often mentioned, spring in Japan is a season that evokes new beginnings.
Let’s make sakura (cherry blossom) petals out of origami to symbolize this season of beginnings.
It’s a simple project—just fold the paper, make a few scissor cuts, and unfold—but the key is to fold carefully along the guide lines so that the five petals open out nicely.
Because of its clean, single-color look, it’s easy to use as a spring-themed element in a variety of decorations.
Let’s draw cherry blossoms with a straw

Starting around late March, there are regions where cherry blossoms begin to bloom, right? Many older adults may also associate cherry blossoms with spring.
Let’s make an easy cherry blossom craft using straws.
Cut slits into the tip of a straw to divide it into five sections.
The five split tips will look like cherry blossom petals.
Apply pink paint to the five-sectioned tip.
If you dab the straw onto a backing sheet, it will look like cherry blossoms are blooming.
If you use colored paper as the backing, it becomes a lovely wall decoration.
Or you could press the straw like a cherry blossom stamp onto a postcard to create your own card.
