[For Seniors] Spring Wall Decorations: A Collection of Ideas to Brighten Up Your Room

Two types of hanging decorations with plum blossoms

Two types of cute paper plum blossom decorations (with audio commentary) – How to make

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.

Chirimen craft: Koinobori (carp streamers)

Wakomon TV Crafts: Children's Day Koinobori – How to Make a 'Carp Decoration' for Boys' Festival #046 • Easy Chirimen Crafts, Temari, Oshie, and Japanese Accessories

Because of its distinctive texture, chirimen fabric strongly evokes a traditional Japanese atmosphere.

This piece uses that Japanese-feeling fabric to make a koi nobori (carp streamer), clearly emphasizing that it’s a Japanese event.

The key point is the scale pattern; using it well gives the koi nobori a luxurious look.

Layering various fabrics to add volume further enhances the splendor when they’re displayed together.

It also seems fun to think about what shapes would best bring out the qualities of chirimen.

Here’s an idea for representing the bodies of Hina dolls using accordion-folded origami.

Use two sheets of origami paper per doll.

First, accordion-fold a plain sheet, overlap the sides, and fold it in half.

Fold the second sheet the same way, then insert it into the first sheet and glue them together.

It’s recommended to use patterned paper for the second sheet.

Once the body is complete, attach a face and decorations made from construction paper, and hang it from a display stand made with a thick straw and kite string to finish.

For an even more festive look, you can also make and hang bonbori lanterns and hishi-mochi rice cakes.

Dandelion and Ladybug

Dandelions and ladybugs 🐞 [with templates] #March crafts #spring crafts #dandelion #ladybug

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.
