[For Seniors] Brighten Up Spring at Care Facilities: Wall Decoration Ideas (1–10)
Plump StrawberryNEW!
Spring is the season that overcomes winter and brings abundant harvests, and we find more chances to see colors that feel warm.
This decoration features a strawberry motif that evokes the warmth of spring, layered with leaves for a colorful look.
The key is to crease both the leaf parts and the strawberry parts firmly—create them so they have a three-dimensional feel, then layer them together.
Treat each layered strawberry-and-leaf as a single set, and enhance the sense of depth by experimenting with how you arrange those sets.
Balancing with the background is also an important point for conveying warmth.
Tulips and DaisiesNEW!
When it comes to flowers that bloom in spring, tulips are a classic—their richly varied, colorful blossoms capture the excitement of the season.
This decoration features colorful tulips made from origami, arranged side by side to look just like a flower field.
The key to the flowers is to crease them firmly so they take on a three-dimensional shape, creating a cute, rounded look.
It’s also recommended to place daisy (marguerite) motifs around them; consider the balance as you arrange everything to make it look even more beautiful.
Mount Fuji and cherry blossomsNEW!
Cherry blossoms are an indispensable motif of spring in Japan; their pink appearance alone evokes the excitement of the season.
This decoration places cherry blossom and Mount Fuji motifs side by side to express Japanese spring.
It’s a simple composition—arranging an origami Mount Fuji and cherry blossoms on a backing—but by giving each a three-dimensional finish, their beauty is enhanced.
Adding deliberate wrinkles to create a natural look and other subtle touches may be key points for achieving a beautiful result.

Weeping Cherry ArchNEW!
Cherry blossoms are an essential motif of spring in Japan, and their gentle pink evokes the warmth of the season.
This decoration strings together cherry blossom motifs to express the soft spring sunlight.
Fold origami and cut it so the patterns appear; first draw clear guide marks, then cut along them, and make the same shapes in various colors.
Finally, connect the blossoms to complete it—aim for a color gradient, and be sure to adjust the length as well.
Rapeseed blossoms and butterfliesNEW!
This is a decoration that arranges rapeseed blossoms, finished with a soft look by layering tissue paper.
Make each flower by carefully stacking the tissue paper to add volume, bringing out a soft, rounded feel.
Instead of using just one stem, line up rapeseed blossoms of varying heights to further emphasize both beauty and fullness.
Adding butterfly motifs will also convey the warmth of spring, which is highly recommended.
butterflyNEW!
As the weather warms up, we get more chances to see living creatures, and butterflies are one of those that really make us feel spring.
This project is about making such butterflies with origami and creating a spring scene.
First, cut out the butterfly wing shapes, then crease them, layer them, and shape them into a three-dimensional butterfly.
After that, arrange them against a background that evokes spring, and you’re done.
The key is to proceed while considering a color balance that conveys the feeling of spring.
three-dimensional bamboo shootNEW!
Speaking of spring, it’s the season of bounty after winter, and bamboo shoots are one of the cherished signs of spring.
This decoration involves layering origami to create a three-dimensional bamboo shoot and completing it as a spring scene.
First, roll paper to form the base shape, then layer brown paper for the bamboo shoot.
The key is to add wrinkles before layering—this accentuates softness and depth.
Be mindful of gradients as you layer.
Once the bamboo shoot is finished, place it on the backing paper, add bamboo around it, and your spring scene is complete.
