Cherry blossoms shaped like a heart
Let’s make cherry blossoms where you can see lots of cute heart shapes.
First, fold the origami paper several times to make a small triangle.
Then, make small cuts with scissors so that heart shapes appear when you unfold the paper—that’s it! If you also round off the corner edges of the folded triangle, the cherry blossom petals will look heart-shaped too.
When you open it up, you’ll see many hearts inside the cherry blossom! You can use the cut-out hearts as decorations as well—stick them on the wall as hearts, or as drifting cherry blossom petals!
Heart flower
A cute heart motif will brighten your mood! Prepare pink origami paper and fold it into a triangle twice.
Next, fold one side of the triangle outward, then fold back the bottom corner.
Draw a half-heart shape—like an ear shape—on the paper with a pencil, and cut along the line with scissors.
Finally, unfold the origami, and a lovely heart pattern will spread out before your eyes.
Seeing the unfolded paper reveal a cut-out heart is sure to get the kids excited!

Spring is a season overflowing with glamorous, delicate blossoms.
When it comes to flowers that represent this time of year, cherry blossoms surely come to mind.
There are many ways to enjoy them outdoors—like picnicking under the blooms with family and friends or strolling along cherry-lined paths—but why not bring that delicate beauty into your home as well? With a gently swaying, handmade cherry blossom wall decoration, you can savor the feeling of spring.
Small cherry blossoms fluttering on your walls or windows look absolutely adorable.
Using a paper craft punch for the blossom shapes makes the process easier and more convenient.
Simply attach the punched-out cherry blossoms to ribbons, hang them evenly like curtains, and you’re done.
lease
The wreath motif, called a “wreath,” is a decoration that kids absolutely love! All you need is a piece of pink origami paper about 15 cm by 7 cm.
Accordion-fold it, then keep folding it in a mountain fold.
Round off the ends with scissors and staple the center.
Use that point as the base to fan it out into a circle and open it like petals.
Next, cut yellow origami paper into a ring shape and attach the petals around it—that’s it.
Mixing in other colors like red along with pink will make it even more festive!
kirigami (paper cutting art)
Papercutting, where you use scissors to create various shapes, is a great idea that also supports children’s cognitive development.
However, when using scissors, make sure an adult works together with the child, and use child-safe scissors if possible! The method is simple: fold the paper in mountain folds to form the base for the petals, then sketch your cutout design on top with a pencil.
After that, just cut along the lines with scissors and unfold the paper—voilà! You’ll have an easy variety of papercut designs.
cherry tree
Some children aren’t good at folding or cutting paper, or they lose focus.
That’s why I’d like to introduce “crumple crafts.” This is a craft where you crumple origami or construction paper into balls to create shapes.
It’s perfect for making a cherry blossom tree, too.
The crumpled paper nicely conveys the texture of the tree trunk and the look of densely packed petals.
In the end, you just glue the petal and trunk pieces in place, and since it’s only in one spot, they’ll likely be able to do it.
cherry blossom petals
These cherry blossom petal wall decorations are perfect for spring.
When tracing the cherry blossom shapes, it’s smoother if you first make a template out of cardboard.
Adjust the size to suit the place where you’ll display them.
Preparing several sizes of petals and arranging many together will look gorgeous and beautiful.
Using different shades of pink will also add richness to the wall’s color scheme.
Before you begin, lay out the colored paper and think about the color balance.
You can also use larger petals as mounting paper for children’s portrait photos.
Let’s celebrate the joyful season of new enrollment and class advancement with a cherry blossom wall display.
