[Childcare] Wall decoration craft ideas with a cherry blossom motif (31–40)
A wall display of cherry blossoms that sway in paper cups
The key points are the calm atmosphere and the beautiful cherry blossom petals! Here’s an idea for a wall decoration with cherry blossoms that sway using paper cups.
Cherry blossoms are the symbol of spring, right? They also represent beauty and fleetingness, and this craft idea perfectly fits that image.
Try making it together with children.
You’ll need origami paper, tissue paper, thick paper, paper cups, chiyogami (patterned paper), paper tape, and so on.
Making lots of cherry blossoms will create a gorgeous finish, so it’s great if everyone can work together! Take this opportunity to give it a try.
paper fan
We’d like to introduce a cherry blossom paper craft you can make with origami to enjoy a hanami mood at home.
Make plenty and brighten up your room.
First, prepare pink origami paper and fold it in an accordion pattern.
Make two identical pieces, round off the ends with scissors, then glue them together.
Spread them out evenly to balance the shape, and your delicate blossom is complete.
No tricky techniques or special tools are needed—this simple flower motif is easy to make and handy to remember.
Stick them on the wall or hang them in the window—the choice is yours.
A cute flower made from one sheet of tissue paper
Here’s how to make a cute flower using just one sheet of tissue paper.
First, fold the tissue paper into an accordion.
Then fold it in half.
After folding, round off the edges with scissors.
Staple the center, and gently open up the flower.
Once it’s opened, press down the center to finish.
You can make lots of flowers to decorate a wall, add leaves to make a bouquet, or cut the edges into points to turn it into a dandelion—there are many ways to arrange them, so give it a try!
Mechanical wall
Spin it with a twirl and cherry blossoms bloom! Here’s an idea for a mechanical (karakuri) wall display.
Adding a little mechanism to the wall will make kids even more excited to come to the daycare! Let’s create a karakuri wall perfect for spring.
You’ll need: base paper, thick paper, pens, scissors, a ruler, a compass, and a craft knife.
Making it together with the children is great too—it lets them experience a sense of accomplishment and togetherness.
Be sure to give it a try.
Let’s make the cherry blossoms burst into full bloom!
Garland made with paper strips
Here’s a charming cherry blossom decoration made from paper strips.
You’ll need pink construction paper, a stapler, scissors, a pencil, a ruler, and thread.
Prepare one strip measuring 2 cm by 30 cm and another strip measuring 2 cm by 20 cm from the pink paper.
Fold the 20 cm strip in half, then fold each half again to form an M shape.
Fold the 30 cm strip in half as well, mark 5 cm from the loose/fluttering end, fold at the mark, then continue folding it into an accordion with 5 cm-wide sections.
Slightly fold the mountain-fold edges to shape them like cherry blossom petals, staple the ends together, and finally turn the loop inside out to finish.
Make lots of them and thread them onto a string to decorate!

Hanging ornaments
This is a three-dimensional hanging cherry blossom decoration made with toilet paper rolls and tissue paper.
Flatten the toilet paper roll so that the cross-section forms a cherry blossom petal shape, then slice it into rings about 5 mm wide.
On two of the ring pieces, make holes so you can thread a string for hanging.
Next, apply glue to the edge of each cut ring and stick it onto tissue paper, trimming off any excess.
Finally, glue five petal edges together and thread them onto the hanging string.
The translucence of the tissue paper gives the decoration a soft, delicate look—complete!
A cherry blossom tree made with torn-paper collage
Cherry blossoms are the quintessential spring flowers—almost their synonym.
How about incorporating a torn-paper collage to create a cherry tree? Start by making the trunk on colored construction paper, then draw plenty of branches on top with crayons.
The more branches, the better.
Next, tear pieces of paper and glue them over the branches—mix pink origami, patterned origami, tissue paper, and other colors and textures for a fun, vibrant finish.
Adding little butterflies and other details around it would make it even cuter.
