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.
