Hanging ornaments
We’d like to introduce a lovely spring hanging decoration that gently sways in the breeze.
You can make it with just origami paper and string, so it’s perfect for craft activities in senior care facilities.
Prepare both solid-colored and patterned origami paper, cut three circles of each, and fold them in half.
Glue the solid and patterned halves alternately, attach them to a string, and your temari ball is finished.
Next, fold three sheets of origami paper in half vertically, stack and glue them together, then draw a pencil outline so it forms a cherry blossom shape and cut it out.
When you open it, you’ll have a symmetrical flower.
Snip small cuts into the petals to make it look like a sakura blossom, then attach it to the string to complete the piece.
Gazing at your hanging decoration while feeling the warm spring breeze is sure to bring a peaceful moment.

paper flower fan
Paper fans are popular as decorations for parties and events.
Let’s create flower-themed decorations perfect for brightening up a care facility in spring.
First, stick your favorite masking tape onto a rectangular sheet of paper and make an accordion fold.
Next, apply glue to both ends of the paper and join them together to finish.
If you’re making a larger size, adjust the number of sheets of copy paper and the number of accordion folds.
It’s also recommended to create designs themed around spring-blooming flowers like plum, peach, and cherry blossoms.
Dandelions and a Butterfly
When it comes to wall decorations that evoke the warmth of spring, dandelions are a perfect choice.
Let’s decorate the care facility with this familiar motif that you can also spot in parks and along walking paths.
Prepare construction paper in various shades of yellow to create a gradient effect.
To make the flowers, cut the paper into circles and snip fringes around the edges.
Use a bamboo skewer or similar tool to curl the petals, then layer and glue the pieces together.
Next, use green construction paper to create serrated leaves and stems.
Finally, assemble all the parts to complete a three-dimensional dandelion.
The steps are simple, making this a wall decoration that older adults can work on with confidence.
Swaying Cherry Blossoms
Here’s an idea for a wall decoration that evokes cherry blossom petals swaying in the wind.
Make petals by cutting origami paper into rectangles and forming each piece into a loop.
Combine four to five petals and glue a yellow piece in the center to create a three-dimensional cherry blossom.
If you press the inside of the flower and leaf pieces with a bamboo skewer to add curvature, they’ll gain a soft, rounded 3D look.
Connect the finished blossoms and leaves with thread and attach them to the wall so the design sways when a breeze passes through.
It’s a decoration that’s both visually striking and dynamic, letting you feel the arrival of spring.
Carnation wreath
Carnations are a very popular gift for Mother’s Day.
Let’s make a wall decoration themed around flowers with soft textures and gentle colors.
First, take layered flower paper and fold it back and forth in an accordion.
Separate it into bundles and cut fringed, jagged edges.
After combining the parts, carefully fan out each sheet one by one.
Next, attach a ribbon to the wreath base and use a hot glue gun to adhere the carnations.
Arrange them without gaps, add ribbon for decoration, and you’re done.
It’s a gorgeous wall decoration that’s perfect for displaying in a senior facility or taking home to hang on a wall or door.
Sumire
Violets, which you often see in garden beds and parks, are flowers that are at their best in spring.
Let’s beautifully decorate a wall with colorful violet flowers in blue, yellow, white, and more.
Make violet petals using accordion-folded origami, then use construction paper as the stem to attach and build the violet flowers.
You can also create stems and leaves from origami, attach petals, and make side-facing violets.
How about making butterflies or ladybugs as well? Displaying them together with the violets will create wall decorations that evoke an even stronger spring atmosphere.
Feeling the seasons through wall decorations and looking at lovely violets can help brighten the mood of older adults, too.
Sakura hanging ornaments
It’s great that you can also use it as a floral garland! Here are some ideas for a hanging sakura decoration.
This is a perfect idea for when your room feels a bit lonely or when you want to enjoy cherry-blossom viewing indoors.
The softly blooming, cute cherry blossoms will soothe your heart every time they catch your eye.
You’ll need pink tissue paper, scissors, string, and rubber bands.
By adjusting the size of the tissue paper, you can change the size of the flowers.
It comes together with a simple step: thread the string through the rubber band, and you’re done! Give it a try.
