Rapeseed blossoms and butterfliesNEW!

[Easy with tissue paper] Rapeseed blossoms and origami butterfly wall decoration
Rapeseed blossoms and butterfliesNEW!

This is a decoration that arranges rapeseed blossoms, finished with a soft look by layering tissue paper.

Make each flower by carefully stacking the tissue paper to add volume, bringing out a soft, rounded feel.

Instead of using just one stem, line up rapeseed blossoms of varying heights to further emphasize both beauty and fullness.

Adding butterfly motifs will also convey the warmth of spring, which is highly recommended.

Mount Fuji and cherry blossomsNEW!

Mount Fuji and cherry blossomsNEW!

Cherry blossoms are an indispensable motif of spring in Japan; their pink appearance alone evokes the excitement of the season.

This decoration places cherry blossom and Mount Fuji motifs side by side to express Japanese spring.

It’s a simple composition—arranging an origami Mount Fuji and cherry blossoms on a backing—but by giving each a three-dimensional finish, their beauty is enhanced.

Adding deliberate wrinkles to create a natural look and other subtle touches may be key points for achieving a beautiful result.

[No pattern needed] Easy double-flowered cherry blossoms with origami — a luxurious spring wall decoration! For childcare and eldercare activities. How to make Easy Origami Cherry Blossoms (Double-flowered Sakura)

Cherry blossoms are a motif that symbolizes spring in Japan, and their soft colors really convey the warmth of the season.

This decoration expresses cherry blossoms with origami, layering petals to create a double-flowered yaezakura finish.

The tree is attached flat onto a background mount, and then three-dimensional flower pieces are arranged on top.

Doubling the flowers is a key point for adding depth, and giving them creases so they appear slightly lifted enhances the three-dimensional effect.

Letting small petals seem to dance around suggests a spring breeze, which is also recommended.

Tulips and DaisiesNEW!

Tulips and DaisiesNEW!

When it comes to flowers that bloom in spring, tulips are a classic—their richly varied, colorful blossoms capture the excitement of the season.

This decoration features colorful tulips made from origami, arranged side by side to look just like a flower field.

The key to the flowers is to crease them firmly so they take on a three-dimensional shape, creating a cute, rounded look.

It’s also recommended to place daisy (marguerite) motifs around them; consider the balance as you arrange everything to make it look even more beautiful.

lily of the valleyNEW!

[Craft Idea] Lily of the Valley (April–May, spring) (Wall decorations, senior recreation, occupational therapy OT, day service) (Three-dimensional flower craft) (Easy craft, origami DIY, creative)
lily of the valleyNEW!

This decoration involves making lilies of the valley in origami—flowers that bloom in a connected row—and arranging them to create a spring scene.

Use green origami paper to make the leaves and stems flat, then attach three-dimensional white flowers to them.

First, cut the white paper into petal shapes and glue them together to create a rounded form; that softness is the key point.

Since the palette is a simple two-color scheme of green and white, think about a background that makes those colors stand out, and arrange everything in a well-balanced way.

Wreath, three-dimensional Hina decorationNEW!

[Craft Idea] For Senior Facilities: 3D Hina Doll Decorations with Paper Chains (March Wall Decorations) (Senior Recreation, Day Service, Origami, Peach Blossoms, Tachibana Oranges, Cherry Blossoms, Hina Dolls, Chiyogami, Easy, Handmade, DIY)
Wreath, three-dimensional Hina decorationNEW!

This is a decoration that conveys a sense of splendor, featuring spring motifs such as Hina dolls, peach blossoms, tachibana, and cherry blossoms.

The base is made by linking rings formed from strips of origami cut into long, narrow pieces and rolled up, and each ring is adorned with a motif to add color.

Decide what colors to use for the rings and, to match them, what colors to use for the motifs, creating the piece while considering the overall balance.

Depending on the size of the motifs, you can also make the rings stand out, so adjusting that balance is another important point.

three-dimensional bamboo shootNEW!

Speaking of spring, it’s the season of bounty after winter, and bamboo shoots are one of the cherished signs of spring.

This decoration involves layering origami to create a three-dimensional bamboo shoot and completing it as a spring scene.

First, roll paper to form the base shape, then layer brown paper for the bamboo shoot.

The key is to add wrinkles before layering—this accentuates softness and depth.

Be mindful of gradients as you layer.

Once the bamboo shoot is finished, place it on the backing paper, add bamboo around it, and your spring scene is complete.
