[Childcare] Wall decoration craft ideas featuring a cherry blossom motif
When it comes to flowers that color spring, cherry blossoms come to mind.
Cherry blossoms are charming and glamorous, and just looking at them makes you feel bright and positive, doesn’t it?
So this time, we’ve gathered ideas for creating wall decorations with a cherry blossom theme—perfect for spring.
From origami to torn-paper art and kirigami, there are plenty of ideas that let you enjoy the making process itself.
Hanging ornaments and garlands are also great to display around entrances and by windows.
Let’s fill the room with cherry blossoms together with the kids and wrap ourselves in a happy mood!
Because items made by children are treated as “works,” we use the term “seisaku (制作)” in the text.

lily of the valley
A wall decoration of lilies of the valley that are at their best in May.
Attach the leaf pieces and the slender stems that form gentle curves, then apply glue where the flowers will hang.
Make rounded, plump lily-of-the-valley pieces out of construction paper and stick them onto the stems to complete a wall decoration that feels both simple and elegant.
Bright, eye-catching flowers like spring rapeseed blossoms and tulips, or summer sunflowers, are of course lovely, but the slightly understated charm of lilies of the valley is adorable too.
clover
When spring comes, clover spreads across the fields.
The four-leaf clover, a symbol of luck and love, is perfect for wall decorations, too.
First, fold the origami paper into a triangle with the green side facing inward.
As with the crane, open the pocket and flatten it into a square.
Fold the bottom corner up to the center, then fold upward where the creases intersect.
While pinching the center, open it and fold the middle inward.
After that, fold each section back while slightly overlapping them to shape the leaves, and it’s done.
Adding butterflies or flowers alongside makes it feel even more like spring.
Cherry blossom wall with handprints
From infants to adults, let’s get everyone involved! Here are ideas for a cherry blossom wall display using handprints.
These cherry blossom–themed crafts are perfect to make with children in infant classes who have just entered or moved up.
Children grow so quickly, don’t they? Let’s create a dynamic cherry blossom design using their tiny handprints that can only be captured right now.
Making it together with classmates and teachers will help build memories and strengthen bonds.
In small-scale centers, it can also be wonderful to have all enrolled children participate.
Weeping cherry blossom arch
Here is an arch of weeping cherry blossoms that you can make using only origami paper and bubble wrap (packing material).
Just set it up at your entrance or room doorway to create a gorgeous, festive look.
The main arch is made simply by rolling up the bubble wrap, but it also looks cute hanging directly from the top of an entrance or window.
First, make one cherry blossom to use as a template.
Once that’s done, connect sheets of origami with double-sided tape to create a continuous chain of blossoms.
After connecting them, place half of the template blossom on top and cut along it to finish.
No-sew felt cherry blossoms
When a room is decorated with pink cherry blossoms, it feels so festive and exciting, doesn’t it? Here’s an idea for making cherry blossoms out of felt—and you can do it without any sewing! Prepare a piece of pink felt measuring 4 cm by 20 cm.
Mark it at 4 cm intervals along the length to make four sections, then make vertical cuts at each mark, cutting about two-thirds of the way down.
Round the edges of the five frilly sections into gentle arches, then fold each arch in half and cut it diagonally to form petal shapes.
Apply glue to the base of the petal on the side without slits, and glue the ends together as well to finish.
You can customize it however you like, so try adapting the basic shape to create all kinds of variations!
Torn-paper cherry blossoms
Let me introduce a torn-paper collage of cherry blossoms that captures the warm feeling of spring.
Get your materials ready: origami paper, construction paper, colored pencils, scissors, glue, and double-sided tape.
First, make a draft, cut out the cherry blossoms, and start sticking torn pieces of origami onto them.
The key is to place the pieces so there are no gaps.
If you glue cherry blossom-shaped origami cutouts on top of the collage, it might create a more three-dimensional look.
Once you attach the cherry blossom trunk, it’s complete! Cutting additional origami into cherry blossom shapes and decorating around it will make it even more vibrant.
garland
Garlands, which originated in ancient Egypt and were used in religious ceremonies, are called “hanawa” in Japanese, meaning flower rings, and refer to something like a shorter version of a wreath.
The key is to use decorative paper pre-printed with motifs such as cherry blossoms.
Fold it into two mountain folds to form a cherry blossom shape, then create a slightly smaller cherry blossom shape from a different design.
Finally, valley-fold the center, stack them, and thread them onto a long string to finish.
The cute design is sure to bring smiles to children’s faces!
