[For Seniors] Feel the arrival of warm spring: Cherry blossom wall decoration ideas (21–30)
Cherry blossom wall hanging

Let us introduce a cherry blossom wall decoration that brings a touch of spring into your room.
Flatten a toilet paper roll and cut it in half; decorate one half with washi paper or colored paper to make the base.
Cut the other half into long, thin strips and shape them into cherry blossom petals.
Create a petal-shaped template from construction paper, then cut pink origami to match.
Sandwich and glue the toilet paper roll petals between the origami petals—the roll’s natural curve adds a nice accent to each petal.
Attach the petals to the decorated base, add any embellishments you like, and it’s done.
You can stick it directly on the wall or punch a hole and thread a string to hang it.
Try decorating your room in spring colors!
Swaying Cherry Blossoms
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.

A wreath of double-flowered cherry blossoms

Many seniors eagerly look forward to the cherry blossoms blooming, don’t they? Before the blossoms open outdoors, why not fold cherry blossoms indoors and feel the arrival of spring a little early? This delicate craft is completed by making several small cherry blossoms and layering them.
There are many fine steps, but you’ll feel a real sense of accomplishment when it’s finished.
Let’s make each petal one by one using small pink origami paper.
Glue the petals together, attach the leaves, and your cherry blossom is complete.
Make several blossoms to form a wreath, or decorate a garland or a wall—any of these would look lovely.
Enjoy trying different arrangements!
cherry blossom twig

Introducing a cherry blossom twig decoration that symbolizes spring in Japan.
Once you have pink origami paper ready, let’s make the blossoms.
Using a round dish or similar object makes it easy.
Cut out a circle, fold it in half, then fold it again so it becomes one-third the original size.
Sketch a petal shape with a pencil and cut along the line.
When you unfold it, you’ll have a cherry blossom with six petals.
Overlap one petal onto the neighboring petal to give it a three-dimensional shape.
Make a branch from brown origami paper and leaves from green origami paper, then attach them along with the blossoms to finish.
It looks adorable when added to a message card or gift box.
Give it a try!
Cherry Blossoms and a Bridge
When you think of scenery where cherry blossoms stand out, many scenes come to mind, but the combination of a bridge and cherry blossoms especially evokes a traditional Japanese atmosphere.
This decoration recreates that quintessentially Japanese image by arranging paper pieces like elements in a painting to depict a bridge with cherry blossoms.
The key is the shape of the cherry blossom petals: by making a small slit in each petal and overlapping the cut edges, you create a three-dimensional effect.
After that, simply arrange the petal and leaf pieces on the backing paper and attach the bridge piece in one corner to finish.
It’s also fun to play with color gradients and to pay attention to the shape of the bridge.
Hanging ornaments

We’d like to introduce a lovely spring hanging decoration that gently sways in the breeze.
You can make it with just origami paper and string, so it’s perfect for craft activities in senior care facilities.
Prepare both solid-colored and patterned origami paper, cut three circles of each, and fold them in half.
Glue the solid and patterned halves alternately, attach them to a string, and your temari ball is finished.
Next, fold three sheets of origami paper in half vertically, stack and glue them together, then draw a pencil outline so it forms a cherry blossom shape and cut it out.
When you open it, you’ll have a symmetrical flower.
Snip small cuts into the petals to make it look like a sakura blossom, then attach it to the string to complete the piece.
Gazing at your hanging decoration while feeling the warm spring breeze is sure to bring a peaceful moment.
Collage of cherry blossoms

Why not feel the arrival of spring with a cherry blossom collage? Prepare a sheet of stiff black cardstock and cut it in half.
Use a cherry blossom craft punch to cut designs from patterned paper or origami, making lots of blossoms.
Draw the tree trunk on the black cardstock with a white colored pencil, then glue on the blossoms.
Layer them so they overlap and fill in the gaps.
When applying glue, don’t coat the entire piece—apply it only to part of each blossom and attach it lightly to create a three-dimensional effect.
The contrast of vivid blossoms against the black cardstock makes for a beautiful piece.
Because it uses fine finger movements, it’s great for finger dexterity training for seniors.
Consider incorporating it into craft recreation activities at senior care facilities.
