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!
