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!

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.

If you want to make a cherry blossom wall decoration with a bit of personality, a window-themed design is a great choice! The view of cherry blossoms seen through a round window frame is so beautiful and evocative, isn’t it? Create the cherry blossoms by cutting shapes from construction paper, origami paper, or washi.

Feel free to customize them by changing the size of the flowers and the intensity of the colors.

Make the window frame by folding and sticking paper tape onto the wall.

It’s also lovely to change the color of the paper tape to match the background wall color, or to add a bush warbler perched on a cherry branch.

Weeping cherry trees bloom a little later than the common Somei Yoshino, so you can enjoy them from mid to late April.

The weeping cherry in Miharu Town, Fukushima—one of Japan’s three great cherry trees and designated a national natural monument—is truly breathtaking, isn’t it? This type of cherry tree also makes a great craft motif for day-service and care-facility recreation.

Since you make many blossoms by pinching the center of tissue paper to resemble cherry flowers, everyone can enjoy creating them together.

It’s also perfect for finger dexterity training.

Finally, by attaching them to wire, you can capture that graceful, drooping look!
