Hanging decoration of cherry blossoms and leaves
Here’s a lovely hanging decoration that pairs beautifully with cherry blossom petals, made with softly textured, colored washi paper.
You’ll create the cherry blossom petals from washi.
Because washi is soft and easy to handle, it may be especially accessible for older adults.
You can also make paper fans by accordion-folding and use them as parts for the hanging decoration.
If you make the hanging structure into a cherry tree and add a Japanese bush warbler, it will evoke an even stronger feeling of spring.
Seeing the finished piece can give older adults a sense of accomplishment and encourage them to share memories and stories about cherry blossoms from their past.
cherry blossom arch window
These days, many homes are being built with smaller windows for security reasons.
From a safety perspective, that’s understandable to an extent.
How about your home? If you have a plain, empty wall, why not create a “cherry blossom arch window” that looks like a real window there? Imagine stained glass in a church, but made with colored paper.
Use light blue for the window to evoke the color of the sky, and decorate each pane with cherry blossoms in your own style.
Origami works, paper cutouts work—there’s no one right way.
A variety of cherry blossoms would be lovely.
Sakura 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.
This wall decoration is made by combining pieces of paper to create the look of tiny cherry blossoms lined up together.
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.
Besides pink cherry blossoms, it’s also recommended to arrange flowers in various colors for a colorful look.
Curtain of cherry blossoms
Let’s try making a cherry blossom curtain using tissue paper.
Because tissue paper is soft and slightly translucent, it’s perfect for expressing the delicate petals of cherry blossoms.
You can accordion-fold the tissue paper to create blossoms, or cut it into petal shapes and hang them.
When attaching string to the petals, use a needle threaded with the string to link the petals together.
You can hang the curtain in the facility’s windows, and older adults can also take theirs home to decorate their own spaces.
When the wind blows and the tissue-paper petals sway, it looks just like real cherry blossoms fluttering in the air.
You can adapt this idea for wall decorations as well, so give it a try!

Cherry blossom wall hanging
Let us introduce a cherry blossom wall decoration that brings a touch of spring into your room.
Flatten a toilet paper roll and cut it in half; decorate one half with washi paper or colored paper to make the base.
Cut the other half into long, thin strips and shape them into cherry blossom petals.
Create a petal-shaped template from construction paper, then cut pink origami to match.
Sandwich and glue the toilet paper roll petals between the origami petals—the roll’s natural curve adds a nice accent to each petal.
Attach the petals to the decorated base, add any embellishments you like, and it’s done.
You can stick it directly on the wall or punch a hole and thread a string to hang it.
Try decorating your room in spring colors!
