[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.

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.
Cherry Blossom Fairy
If you want to make something inspired by cherry blossoms—not just the blossoms themselves—cute cherry-blossom fairies are a great choice! It’s wonderful for preschool and kindergarten teachers or parents to make them, of course, but it’s also great to have children create them while stretching their imaginations.
Ask questions like, “What do you think a cherry-blossom fairy looks like?” or “Wouldn’t it be lovely if it looked like this?” Then try making them using your favorite colors of origami or construction paper, and even stickers.
If each child makes one, you’ll end up with a delightful array of unique fairies, each with its own personality.
Use picture books you often read as inspiration, and give it a try!
Japanese style
A bold, Japanese-style design that kids will love is also recommended.
All you need is B5-size black construction paper, two 15 cm × 15 cm sheets of origami paper, and glue.
First, accordion-fold the pink origami paper, then cut it into small rectangles.
Next, fold them into petal shapes and adjust the form while gluing them in place.
Finally, attach origami along the edge of the black paper like a frame, and decorate it with sakura-shaped origami on top to finish! If you keep curves in mind and add some yellow thread, it will look even more beautiful.
Sakura mobile made of origami
Here’s an introduction to making a hanging cherry blossom ornament with origami.
You fold it the same way as when making an origami star to create a five-petaled cherry blossom.
Make four blossoms with the same pattern, stack them, and glue them together at the center.
When you gently open it up, the cherry blossom becomes three-dimensional and looks adorable from every angle! The key is to make four identical pieces, so when you cut patterns into the petals, create a template and use it to make four matching petals.
Decorating with clear fishing line or spring-colored yarn will brighten up your room.
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!
Cherry blossoms made with balloons
When it comes to flowers that represent April, cherry blossoms come to mind.
This time, we’ll introduce a wall decoration of cherry blossoms made with balloons.
Balloon art may seem difficult, but let’s check the tricks—how to twist the balloons and where to tuck them in—and give it a try.
If you also make the cherry tree branches with balloons and attach the blossoms, the result will look plumper and even more charming.
A classroom with three-dimensional cherry blossom balloon art looks absolutely adorable.
Children starting a new chapter in their lives are sure to feel excited and delighted when they see the cherry blossom balloon art.
Pop-up 3D cherry blossoms
Create an eye-catching wall with dynamic design! Here are ideas for pop-up 3D cherry blossoms.
While most wall displays are flat, three-dimensional ones make a strong impression and add a festive touch.
This time, let’s make pop-up 3D cherry blossoms that can be stored away after display.
Some steps are a bit complex, but by working together with teachers or guardians, you’ll be able to complete a beautiful piece.
Give it a try!
