Dandelion and LadybugNEW!
Yellow dandelions shining under the warm spring sunlight, and ladybugs that made us happy whenever we found them.
Why not incorporate a design that brings back childhood memories into your spring calendar? For the dandelions, take a circular piece of construction paper and fold it in half three times.
Then draw the petals, cut them out, and unfold—this will create a flower shape.
Make three of these in different sizes, layer them, and glue them together.
For the ladybug, use large and small black circles of construction paper for the head and body, and attach them together.
Take a red circular piece of construction paper decorated with dot stickers, fold it in half, and glue it in place as the wings.
Add antennae and eye stickers to finish.
Combine the dandelions and ladybugs to design a spring scene on your calendar.
Hina dolls made with round origamiNEW!
Let’s make Hinamatsuri dolls out of chiyogami with a cute, gently rounded shape.
Fold a circular sheet of origami in half twice, then cut a slit at the center to form the neck.
Fold the left and right edges inward to align with the collar area, shaping the kimono.
Fold the Odairi-sama in the same way, then attach the fan, ladle, and crown, draw the faces, and you’re done.
Using round origami enhances the warm feel of the Ohina-sama and Odairi-sama.
Prepare patterned origami and try making your own original Hinamatsuri dolls.
A simple Hina decoration you’ll want to displayNEW!
Easy Hina Doll decoration you can make by downloading the template! Just paste the bonbori lanterns, hishi-mochi, and Hina dolls onto the background illustration to complete it.
First, mount the background illustration on thick paper and trim off the excess.
For the bonbori, cut several circular pieces from colored paper of your choice, fold each in half, then glue them together to form a hemisphere.
For the hishi-mochi, prepare pink, white, and green colored paper, cut them according to the template, and stack/glue them in layers.
For how to make the Hina dolls, check the video linked in the description and try folding along with it.
cherry blossoms in full bloom
Why not try making a wall decoration featuring cherry blossoms in full bloom that lets you feel the arrival of spring even indoors? It’s a great way for seniors who find it difficult to go out freely to enjoy the warm, springtime atmosphere.
First, stack several sheets of tissue paper, fold them in an accordion, and tie the center with a plastic string.
After trimming the ends of the string, cut slits into the tissue paper while curving your scissors.
Gently fan it out little by little to create a beautiful petal pattern.
Next, glue the cherry blossom petals onto branches and a trunk made from construction paper, and you’re done.
Give this fluffy, soothingly colored cherry blossom wall decoration a try and bring full-bloom spring into your space.
Tulips and windmills
The wall decorations of tulips and windmills that evoke a spring atmosphere feature a bright, warm design.
Cut red and yellow origami paper to make the tulip petals.
Add small slits at the tips of the petals and glue them overlapping to create a three-dimensional effect.
Make the stems and leaves with green origami, and when arranged on the wall, it gives the impression of a field of spring plants spreading out.
For the windmills, cut out the base and cross-shaped parts and assemble them into a windmill.
Finely cut the propeller section, add windows and embellishments, and glue them on to enhance the three-dimensional look.
The vivid colors of the tulips and the windmill design create wall decorations that convey the warmth of spring.
Two types of hanging decorations with plum blossomsNEW!
How about a plum-blossom decoration that’s very simple yet instantly adds a festive touch just by displaying it? Here are two types of hanging ornaments you can make with colored construction paper.
Prepare five strips each of 2 cm × 15 cm and 2 cm × 10 cm paper.
Stack two strips, align the ends, staple them, and round them into a petal shape.
Make five of these in the same way and glue them together.
Finish by attaching a circular piece of paper in the center.
For the second type, cut two sheets of origami into circles, shape each into petals, then cut one to create a three-dimensional effect and glue them together.
Once both types of plum blossoms are finished, use string or ribbon to make them into hanging ornaments.
They sway beautifully as elegant plum-blossom decorations.

Ladybugs and clover
May brings refreshing weather.
In parks and fields, the fresh green is beautiful and insects become active.
We want older adults, who often spend time indoors, to feel the season too.
So here are ideas for a ladybug and clover wall decoration that evokes May.
We’ll make ladybugs and clovers with origami.
Add round spots to the ladybugs and cut the origami to form clover shapes.
Red and yellow are great, but making ladybugs in various colors would also be lovely.
Creating them together with older adults uses the fingertips, so it could also provide brain-training benefits.
