Cherry tree made of felt
https://www.tiktok.com/@hoikushi_bank/video/6940183224400252161So fluffy you’ll want to touch it! We’re introducing a cherry blossom tree made of felt.
What you’ll need: pink felt, brown felt, buttons, thread, a needle, craft glue, and scissors.
Making it is a great chance to explore different materials! The charm is that you can sew buttons onto the felt cherry blossoms and then attach and remove the petals as you play—an idea that’s sure to capture the interest of infants in a nursery class.
It’s best if teachers or guardians handle the steps that use needles and thread.
Sakura tree made with transparent origami
https://www.tiktok.com/@pi_chan.sensei__hoiku/video/7355501146506595591I want to display it by a sunlit window! Here’s an idea for making a cherry blossom tree with transparent origami paper.
You’ll need brown construction paper, scissors, glue, transparent origami paper or colored cellophane, a clear file folder, and a cherry-blossom-shaped frame made from construction paper.
Traditional-style cherry blossom crafts are lovely, but why not use this idea to create bright and stylish blossoms? When you hang it by the window, the sparkling sunlight will shine through and give it a whole different atmosphere to enjoy.

Cherry blossom wreath made of paper
Delicate and beautiful! Here’s how to make a cherry blossom wreath out of paper.
You’ll need: cardboard or thick paper, paper twine, glue, scissors, copy paper or origami paper, a yellow pen, ribbon, craft adhesive, a compass, and a utility knife.
First, cut the cardboard into a circle, cut out the center to make the base, then unravel the paper twine and weave it around the cut-out base.
Next, cut the copy paper or origami paper, color it, and fold it.
Finally, assemble the parts to create cherry blossoms and attach them to the base to finish!
Balloon cherry blossoms
The cherry blossom decorations inspired by softly floating balloons are a big hit with kids, so they’re highly recommended! All you need are four sheets of colored construction paper measuring 35 cm × 12.5 cm and origami paper shaped like cherry blossoms and leaves, and you can get started easily.
By the way, you can buy the blossom and leaf origami at 100-yen shops.
Once you glue together four pieces of origami into a sphere, sprinkle more origami on top and you’re done.
It could also be fun to try arranging it with balloons instead of origami.
Give all kinds of designs a try!
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.
Cherry blossoms for indoor hanami (flower viewing)
How about making a wall decoration so you can enjoy cherry blossom viewing indoors? Let’s fill an entire wall with flowers and have fun.
All you need is tissue paper you can buy at a 100-yen shop.
Stack five sheets and fold them accordion-style.
After folding, staple the center, then gently separate the layers so they don’t tear.
Once all the layers are fluffed out, you’ll have a large, round flower base.
Next, make sakura blossoms from origami and stick them on top.
Create the tree trunk with brown paper, attach the flower section, and you’re done.
Making a few in different colors will add depth.
tissue paper (for crafts)
It’s also a great idea to make wall decorations using tissue paper, which is known for its soft texture.
Basically, you fold and cut to make petals, but there are two major differences from origami or construction paper.
The first is that you can refold it as many times as you like.
The second is that it comes in larger sizes.
Because of that, even children who struggle with origami will find it easy to try.
When you display the flowers on the wall, use construction paper to create branches and attach the flowers to them for a cute finish.
The trick is to place the flowers densely enough that the branches are almost hidden.
