dandelion

Easy and cute March wall decoration with pattern: “Dandelion”

When you spot dandelions by the roadside, it really feels like spring is on its way, doesn’t it? March still brings plenty of cold days, but while we eagerly await the warmer weather, why not try making a dandelion wall decoration? Create the yellow flower, the green stem, and the calyx from colored construction paper, glue the pieces together, and then decorate the wall with them alongside little butterflies fluttering around the dandelions.

Dandelions may seem complicated in shape, but they’re easy to make if you use craft templates.

It’s also a great idea to pre-cut the parts and ask older adults to assemble them into dandelions!

Chinese milk vetch

April Wall Decorations: “Chinese Milk Vetch” — Cute Spring Bulletin Board Made from Paper

A wall decoration featuring bright pink Chinese milk vetch blossoms.

Since it requires precise hand movements, it’s recommended for seniors who want to try more advanced origami.

Cut the petal pieces according to the template and lightly score the fold lines.

For the stem, make all the fold lines valley folds, then overlap both edges and glue them securely in place.

For the flower pieces, alternate valley and mountain folds starting from the lower fold line to create a three-dimensional shape.

Where the fold lines split into three, make mountain folds from both sides and push the center line inward into a valley fold.

By pressing down the lightly made mountain folds and creasing them more deeply, the flower shape will hold firmly.

Finally, glue together the petals, stem, and leaves to complete the piece.

Let’s draw cherry blossoms with a straw

[Using only a straw] Let’s draw cherry blossoms♪ Just stamp them—simple and cute

Starting around late March, there are regions where cherry blossoms begin to bloom, right? Many older adults may also associate cherry blossoms with spring.

Let’s make an easy cherry blossom craft using straws.

Cut slits into the tip of a straw to divide it into five sections.

The five split tips will look like cherry blossom petals.

Apply pink paint to the five-sectioned tip.

If you dab the straw onto a backing sheet, it will look like cherry blossoms are blooming.

If you use colored paper as the backing, it becomes a lovely wall decoration.

Or you could press the straw like a cherry blossom stamp onto a postcard to create your own card.
