Mount Fuji and cherry blossoms

[No Template Needed] Spring Scenery “Cherry Blossoms and Mt. Fuji” Wall Decoration How to Make Origami Sakura & Mt. Fuji

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.

Spring wildflowers

[Spring] How to Make Spring Flowers and Plants [Wall Decorations]

Let’s create a spring-themed floral mural to bring a touch of spring to your room.

You can easily make it using colored paper sold at 100-yen shops.

Since the sheets are large as-is, cut them into quarter size, and even into quarters again if needed.

For clovers, fold the paper into eighths, draw the lines, and cut along them to finish.

For five-petal flowers like cherry blossoms or pansies, you can fold at about two-thirds of the edge to get a nice shape.

Alternatively, make a six-petal flower first, then cut a slit and overlap the petals to turn it into a five-petal flower for a more three-dimensional look.

Finally, use a large sheet of colored construction paper as the base and attach the flowers and leaves you’ve made to complete your mural.

daffodil

Kimie Gangi’s spring wall display: Super easy “daffodil flowers made with two colors of tissue paper” — Daffodils wall decoration

Let’s make a daffodil using soft tissue paper.

Fold a white tissue paper sheet in half, then place an orange tissue paper sheet half its size on top.

Next, accordion-fold the stack into six sections, fold it in half, then cut the ends at a slant and staple the center.

After stapling, gently spread out the petals.

Once spread, separate the white and orange layers.

The orange section will be the flower’s center, so trim its edge straight.

For the leaves, cut colored construction paper into thin strips, wrap them around a pencil, and round off the tips.

Dandelions and Horsetails

[Craft Idea] Dandelion Crafting (Spring: March–April) (Senior Recreation) (Early Childhood/Educational) (Wall Decorations) (Flower Crafts) (Creative) (3D) (Origami)

These wall decorations are recommended for care facilities and let you feel the arrival of spring indoors.

Crumple yellow origami paper to create a soft texture, then shape it into a circle.

By attaching small cut pieces of origami, you can express the fluffy, three-dimensional look of dandelion flowers.

For the leaves, cut green origami into rectangles, draw vein patterns, and make slits so they connect.

For the stems, roll thin, elongated strips of origami to give them a solid three-dimensional feel—this is key.

To depict grass, cut green origami into jagged shapes and place them randomly.

For horsetails, use brown origami, forming rounded shapes; arranging them at slightly different heights will create a more natural scene.

Tulip hina

[Craft Idea] Tulip Hina Dolls (March Hina Festival) (Wall Decorations • Senior Recreation • Occupational Therapy OT • Day Service • Childcare) (Origami • Colored Construction Paper) (DIY) (Tulips • Peach Blossoms) (Simple 3D Craft)

Tulips are one of the essentials of spring, and the way their brightly colored flowers bloom so vigorously conveys the joy of the season.

This craft combines tulip blossoms with Hinamatsuri (Girls’ Day) motifs to create a project that feels distinctly springlike.

The base is construction paper cut into a tulip shape; onto this, you add origami clothing and decorations to complete the Hinamatsuri theme.

For the two main figures, make slits and then glue them together to give them a three-dimensional look so they stand out from the rest—that’s the key point.

Finish it off with leaf parts and surrounding tulips to create an overall festive look.

pansy

[Craft Idea] Pansies with origami (March–April, spring) (with template) (flower craft) (activities for seniors, day service, occupational therapy OT, childcare) (wall decoration) (easy original creation) (DIY)

This is a pansy wall decoration that creates a lively spring atmosphere while letting you enjoy colorful flowers.

Cut two kinds of origami paper—such as blue and light blue, or purple and pink—into rectangles, then divide them into eight equal parts to make the petals.

To refine the petal shape, round the edges and add a natural curve.

Using paper divided into six parts, make a heart shape, then curve the petals and glue the two types of origami together.

By attaching paper of varying heights to the back of the petals, you can create depth and a three-dimensional effect.

Cut green origami into a jagged shape to make leaves, and add creases to give them a realistic texture.

Arrange the flowers and leaves in a balanced way to complete the gorgeous spring pansies.

Choosing favorite colors and crafting together also makes this a great idea for fostering interaction among older adults.
