Small and cute! How to make a cherry blossom wall decoration (wall decor) – DIY How to Make Paper Cherry Blossom Wall Decoration

When it comes to cherry blossoms, their small size is part of their charm, evoking both cuteness and a sense of fleeting beauty.

The flowers are crafted with a simple method of punching them out using a craft punch, and by paying attention to creasing, you can give them a three-dimensional feel.

After that, decorate the cherry blossoms with beads, line them up on a ribbon and attach them, then hang them so they dangle from a rod to finish.

Swaying Cherry Blossoms

[Craft Idea] Swaying Sakura — Cherry Blossom (April) (Wall Decorations) (Senior Recreation, Day Services, Occupational Therapy OT, Childcare) (Quilling) (Creative)

Here’s an idea for a wall decoration that evokes cherry blossom petals swaying in the wind.

Make petals by cutting origami paper into rectangles and forming each piece into a loop.

Combine four to five petals and glue a yellow piece in the center to create a three-dimensional cherry blossom.

If you press the inside of the flower and leaf pieces with a bamboo skewer to add curvature, they’ll gain a soft, rounded 3D look.

Connect the finished blossoms and leaves with thread and attach them to the wall so the design sways when a breeze passes through.

It’s a decoration that’s both visually striking and dynamic, letting you feel the arrival of spring.

Wisteria flowers brimming with charm

[Craft idea] Wisteria flowers (May, spring) (wall decorations) (recreation for seniors/occupational therapy/daycare) (early childhood education) (origami) (DIY papercraft) (group craft activity) (Fuji Musume - Wisteria Maiden)

Wisteria blooms beautiful pale purple flowers from mid-April to mid-May.

Countless blossoms hang from its long vines, captivating all who see them.

Let’s recreate that scene as a wall decoration.

Make lots of small petals and stick them onto origami paper shaped like tree branches.

The more petals, the lovelier it looks, so let’s invite seniors to help! For the branches, crumple construction paper first and then cut out the shapes.

Once you’ve made the wisteria maiden and the leaves, attach everything to a large sheet of paper, such as poster paper, to complete the piece.

It’s a charming wall display of a wisteria maiden gazing up at a curtain of wisteria.

Seeing the decorated mural may help some seniors feel the spirit of May.

Spring floral arrangement

[100-Yen Artificial Flowers / Seria] How to Make a Spring Frame Arrangement / Easy, Cute Handmade Home Decor / Great for Gifts

Here’s a frame arrangement using materials you can get at a 100-yen shop.

Display it by your front door or in a room to easily bring a sense of spring.

All you need is a frame and artificial flowers.

First, remove the back panel of the frame and check the size.

When attaching the artificial flowers to the back panel, be careful not to let them overlap the edges, or the frame won’t close.

Decide on a layout with a focal flower in the center and surrounding flowers, then trim the stems and attach them slightly inward so the back can close.

If you can close it without crushing the flowers, you’re done.

The steps are simple, making it a great activity for recreation in senior facilities as well.
