Paper pom-pom butterfly
A cute butterfly wall decoration made with tissue paper pom-poms.
First, stack several sheets of tissue paper in two colors and fold them in an accordion.
Unfold once, then fold in half perpendicular to the creases, and cut with scissors to form a butterfly shape.
Return it to a fine accordion fold, secure the center with wire, and gently fluff out the tissue paper to create a three-dimensional butterfly.
Make them in various colors and decorate an entire wall—the room will instantly look bright and festive!
Pom-pom flower ball
How about making a bright and cute pom-pom flower ball? It takes a bit of effort, but it’s not as difficult as it looks.
Cut a cone shape out of paper and trim off the tip, then add jagged slits to create petal-like edges.
Next, use a toothpick to curl the petals.
It’s a steady, repetitive task, but this is the key to making it look cute and round like a pom-pom! Finally, gather the curled colored paper and glue it together with wood glue or similar.
It also looks adorable when you stick on just a half-sphere against the wall.
Pom-pom wreath
Decorate your room with a pom-pom wreath to create a cute, charming vibe.
Start by choosing tissue paper in your favorite colors and folding it.
Gently open up the layers, and when you combine a few together, they form a round shape.
If you want to refine the shape, trim it into a neat circle with scissors.
Then attach the pom-poms to a wire, and your pom-pom wreath is complete! It instantly brightens up a room, which is delightful.
It’s also a perfect idea for spring decor.
Samurai Boy’s Day doll wreath
Here’s a cute craft idea for a Boys’ Day (Gogatsu Ningyo) wreath.
Thread thin wire through craft pom-poms to make the wreath.
The doll parts are also made from pom-poms.
You can place an origami samurai helmet on the doll’s head as well.
Attach the finished doll to the wreath to complete it.
You can make everything with items sold at 100-yen shops, so preparation should be easy.
A wreath made of round pom-poms is irresistibly cute.
Older adults may also find themselves feeling warm-hearted as they create such an adorable piece.
A wreath of double-flowered cherry blossoms
Many seniors eagerly look forward to the cherry blossoms blooming, don’t they? Before the blossoms open outdoors, why not fold cherry blossoms indoors and feel the arrival of spring a little early? This delicate craft is completed by making several small cherry blossoms and layering them.
There are many fine steps, but you’ll feel a real sense of accomplishment when it’s finished.
Let’s make each petal one by one using small pink origami paper.
Glue the petals together, attach the leaves, and your cherry blossom is complete.
Make several blossoms to form a wreath, or decorate a garland or a wall—any of these would look lovely.
Enjoy trying different arrangements!
Sakura garland made with obi (kimono sash)
This is a garland made by linking cherry blossoms crafted from paper strips—its charm lies in the cute, three-dimensional look.
The key is that it’s not flat but 3D, giving it a popping sense of motion and strength.
First, fold two types of strips—one short and one long—into a zigzag shape, then bend the pointed tips and connect them into loops.
Finally, flip each piece over and neaten it to complete the cherry blossom shape, and then string them together to finish the whole garland.
Try varying the intensity of the pink strips and explore arrangements that make the colors look even more vibrant.
Wisteria flowers made with origami and 100-yen shop construction paper
How about making a dazzling wisteria decoration using lilac origami paper and craft paper from the 100-yen shop? First, cut the origami sheet in half.
With the white side facing up, fold it small, cut it into a half-circle, then trim it to refine the shape.
When you unfold it, each piece takes on a beautifully realistic petal shape.
Combine these with long, thin strips of yellow-green craft paper to form cascading wisteria clusters.
If you also make leaves from green craft paper, the result will rival the real thing.
Put the finished piece on the wall, and it will feel like spring has breezed into your room.
