Hanging Decorations of Wisteria Flowers
When it comes to flowers in May, wisteria is famous.
Its long, trailing blossoms sway like a purple curtain, which is part of its charm.
Walking beneath a wisteria trellis, in particular, lets you experience a magical atmosphere.
Why not bring that wisteria feeling into your home? The wisteria hanging decoration introduced here is delightful to look at indoors.
It’s easy to make: prepare chirimen crepe fabric, cut it to a suitable size, glue the pieces together, and thread them to create wisteria flowers.
String them onto a rod and hang them up, and you’re done in no time.
You’ll also enjoy the warm, traditional feel of chirimen craft.
Spring wildflowers
Let’s create a spring-themed floral mural to bring a touch of spring to your room.
You can easily make it using colored paper sold at 100-yen shops.
Since the sheets are large as-is, cut them into quarter size, and even into quarters again if needed.
For clovers, fold the paper into eighths, draw the lines, and cut along them to finish.
For five-petal flowers like cherry blossoms or pansies, you can fold at about two-thirds of the edge to get a nice shape.
Alternatively, make a six-petal flower first, then cut a slit and overlap the petals to turn it into a five-petal flower for a more three-dimensional look.
Finally, use a large sheet of colored construction paper as the base and attach the flowers and leaves you’ve made to complete your mural.
Cherry blossom garland
Cherry blossoms, as flowers that bloom in spring, are loved by many people.
Because the period when the beautiful flowers are in bloom is so brief, perhaps that’s why we find them so captivating.
This time, let’s make a cherry blossom garland.
Prepare pastel-colored paper and create the blossoms.
I recommend making not only pink ones, but a variety of colorful, vibrant cherry blossoms.
It’s a great way to stimulate seniors’ creativity.
Adding creases will enhance the three-dimensional look even more.
Finally, string them together to finish! Hang them on the wall to create a room with the gentle ambiance that cherry blossoms evoke.
ladybug
A popular origami piece that evokes the arrival of spring is the ladybug.
It’s easy to make with a single sheet of paper, so even seniors can enjoy it with confidence.
Its rounded shape and the cute contrast of red and black make it perfect for seasonal decorations.
The steps are simple, yet using the fingertips provides brain stimulation and hand exercise, making it effective for rehabilitation as well.
Display the finished ladybugs together with cherry blossoms and other flowers to create a bright, cheerful spring scene.
It’s a recommended craft that will instantly lift your spirits.

Peach blossom made from a single sheet of origami
Introducing a craft idea that lets you feel the arrival of warm spring: “A Peach Blossom Made from a Single Sheet of Origami Paper.” It’s easy to make with just one sheet of origami, yet the softly opened petals look charming and add a bright, springlike touch.
Choose a gentle pink paper for a soothing finish that’s delightful to look at.
No tools or special skills are required, and the delicate, finger-based steps can also help with hand rehabilitation and improving concentration.
This is a recommended craft you can use to decorate your room or for seasonal wall displays.
Rabbit’s Easter egg
Easter is a festival that celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and it is set on a Sunday between late March and April each year.
Eggs and rabbits, regarded as symbols of rebirth and prosperity, are known as Easter symbols.
This time, we’ll introduce an origami Easter bunny.
After folding an Easter bunny with your favorite color or pattern of origami paper, use a pen or colored pencils to draw the eyes and mouth.
You can give it personality depending on the kind of face you choose.
By the way, each egg color has its own meaning, so how about turning it into a quiz as you work?
Swimming carp streamer
How about making an authentic koinobori for Children’s Day in May? It would surely be a delightful gift for your grandchild as well.
The way koinobori swim in the breeze is refreshing and striking, isn’t it? Displaying a koinobori at home is sure to strengthen family bonds even more.
What we’re introducing this time is a way to make a genuine-looking koinobori from just a single sheet of construction paper.
The scales look so realistic that you might mistake it for the real thing.
The appeal is that you can easily create the scale effect simply by folding the paper and making a few slits.
