[For Seniors] Color Your Care Facility’s Spring: Wall Decoration Ideas

Poppy

[Craft Idea] Poppy Paper Craft (April–May) (Wall Decorations) (Senior Recreation, Occupational Therapy OT, Day Service) (Origami DIY) (Creative)

Poppies, which bloom from spring to summer, are also known as hinageshi or gubijinsō, and they produce colorful, round, and charming flowers.

This craft aims to create poppies that feel like the joy of spring, making them look three-dimensional as if they’re popping out from the backing paper.

You cut origami into petal shapes and assemble them into a flower, layering the pieces after making slits to give the flower a three-dimensional form.

Once the petal outline is done, place yellow in the center, and finally combine it so it looks like it’s blooming from the stem and leaf pieces attached to the backing paper, and you’re finished.

How to fold spring flowers

[Made with a single sheet of origami] Cute peach blossom folding method ◇ Origami Peach Blossom Spring Flower Hinamatsuri Hina Dolls ◇

How about making a wisteria decoration with purple origami, featuring cute, plump, three-dimensional blossoms? It may look complicated at first glance, but the folding is simple and follows the same steps as a crane up to a certain point.

Combine the center sections, fold the petal parts outward, and one petal is complete.

If you firmly tuck the folded triangular section inward, you’ll get wisteria that looks almost real.

Make about ten of these, then use green origami to create the stem and leaves.

Decorate your room for spring with realistic, beautiful wisteria.

[Origami] Peach Blossom: How to Make an Origami “Peach Blossom.”

Peach blossoms are beloved as items displayed during the Doll Festival (Hinamatsuri).

Among spring-blooming plants, they are as popular as cherry blossoms.

First, use a pencil and ruler to draw lines on the origami paper.

Next, cut away the unnecessary parts, then gradually fold the paper, overlapping the petals as you go.

Once the pieces are finished, draw a small illustration in the center of the petals to complete it.

They’re also great for adding a touch of elegance to wall displays, messages, or craft projects.

Give it a try and make a peach blossom wall decoration that gives off a gentle, soothing impression.

Cherry Blossoms and a Bridge

[Craft Idea] Sakura (3D) and Drum Bridge – Cherry Blossom (April) (Activities for seniors, occupational therapy OT, day services, childcare) (wall decorations) (with templates) (origami DIY) (Project size: half a sheet of poster paper)

When you think of scenery where cherry blossoms stand out, many scenes come to mind, but the combination of a bridge and cherry blossoms especially evokes a traditional Japanese atmosphere.

This decoration recreates that quintessentially Japanese image by arranging paper pieces like elements in a painting to depict a bridge with cherry blossoms.

The key is the shape of the cherry blossom petals: by making a small slit in each petal and overlapping the cut edges, you create a three-dimensional effect.

After that, simply arrange the petal and leaf pieces on the backing paper and attach the bridge piece in one corner to finish.

It’s also fun to play with color gradients and to pay attention to the shape of the bridge.
