[For Seniors] Feel the arrival of warm spring: Cherry blossom wall decoration ideas (41–50)
Cherry Blossom Fan

Motifs like cherry blossoms and fans are classic symbols that evoke Japanese scenery and tradition.
This piece aims to create a springtime-in-Japan decoration by attaching a cherry blossom pattern to the shape of a fan.
The procedure is simple: first add patterns to the paper, then fold the whole sheet like a screen to shape it into a fan.
The visual impact, however, comes from the decoration techniques used here.
For example, arrange small paper components and spray over the entire surface so their shapes remain, or add gold accents to highlight the blossoms.
Let’s think of ways to make the finish more vibrant.
Express originality through the shapes of the motifs and the overall gradation.

Balloon cherry blossoms

Not only the sight of a cherry tree in bloom, but also the way the wind blows and petals dance in the air really makes you feel the arrival of spring.
This decoration captures that scene—hot-air balloons flying amid falling cherry blossoms—with an appealing sense of depth and festivity.
To form the balloon’s rounded part, cut paper into rectangles and assemble them in layers with slight offsets; by adjusting the angles of the layers, you create a three-dimensional bulge.
Attach cherry blossoms to this piece, add a basket underneath, scatter petals around, and it’s complete.
It’s also fun to choose balloon colors that match the cherry blossom hues and to plan other accents that help the balloon stand out.
white clover
White clover, often seen in spring in parks and gardens, is a plant that evokes gentleness and lightness.
Cut a rectangular sheet of origami paper into small pieces and round them to create petal shapes.
By adding a curve to the tips of the petals, you can achieve a realistic-looking flower.
Use long, thin strips of paper to make the stem, and represent the distinctive leaves of white clover.
Arrange heart-shaped pieces of origami in green gradient tones to create the clover.
Finally, decorate with a ladybug made of origami to finish.
Combining white clover and clover makes for a decoration that conveys the arrival of spring, even from the wall.
Animals and a cherry blossom tree

A cute wall decoration featuring animals smiling under a beautiful cherry blossom tree is sure to bring a smile to anyone’s face! It’s especially recommended for kindergarten and nursery school walls.
You can create beautifully symmetrical cherry blossoms by folding origami and then cutting them.
Make a cherry tree and favorite characters for children—like a bear, a rabbit, and little birds—out of construction paper and paste them on, then scatter origami cherry blossoms over the top.
Repeating the cutting and pasting steps and finishing it together is part of the fun.
Sakura Paper Quilling

Using paper quilling—rolling thin strips of paper—let’s make cherry blossom petals and cover the wall with fluttering sakura! When rolling the paper, cut a vertical slit in a toothpick, insert the paper end, and twist to roll it neatly.
Next, glue it while it’s loosely rolled, shift the inner spiral to one side, and gently flatten it.
Press the centered side inward with the toothpick tip, and the petal is complete! Arrange the petals into cherry blossoms or scatter them as if they’re dancing on the wind to create a gorgeous wall display.
Three-dimensional painting of cherry blossoms

Flat wall decorations are nice, but 3D paintings where the cherry blossoms pop out are great too! All you need are scissors, glue, A4 copy paper, and colored construction paper.
Choose three colors for the construction paper: a pink tone, a brown tone, and an orange tone.
You can print templates with cherry blossom petal shapes from the internet, so using such sites will make it go smoothly.
After cutting the colored paper along the petal shapes with scissors, fold them back and forth to create a three-dimensional form, and finally attach all the parts to finish!
cherry blossom garland

If you want to instantly brighten up a room, making a cherry blossom garland is also recommended.
What is a garland? Originally, the word referred to a flower wreath, but nowadays it’s widely used to mean a wall decoration with flags attached to a string.
You’ve probably seen them at party venues.
For this cherry blossom garland, you connect paper-cut cherry blossom petals and shape them into a semicircle.
Depending on how you link them, you can add your own design variations.
