3D! Cherry Blossom Wreath
The 3D cherry blossoms are so cute! I’ll show you how to make a cherry blossom wreath.
Prepare origami cut into sixteenths.
First, flip a piece over and fold it in half so a corner is facing you.
From the center, fold the left and right corners diagonally upward.
Trim off any parts that stick out with scissors.
Apply glue (or paste) to both ends, hold the middle, and shape the edges.
Press so the tip becomes pointed.
Make six of these, then glue them together into a flower shape.
Next, use green origami cut into sixteenths to make the leaves.
With a corner facing you and the front side up, fold it in half.
Fold the edge up slightly, and make six, imagining a leaf shape.
Make a wreath-shaped backing, attach the flowers and leaves, and you’re done!
Rabbit garland
Some of you may have leftover yarn from craft projects you tried over the winter.
So, here are some spring-like ideas using yarn.
This one involves making a circle with pink yarn and adding felt ears to finish it as a bunny.
You can also use a yarn pom-pom for the circular part.
Have fun sticking them on the wall as-is, or make lots and turn them into a garland.
It’s a bit less spring-themed, but by changing the yarn color you can adapt it into a dog or cat, too.
Hanging ornaments of flowers and temari balls
Make it with origami! These are perfect spring decorations featuring flowers and a temari ball.
First, cut five pieces of origami paper into circles for the flower edges and three pieces into circles for the petals.
Cut each circle in half, glue the halves together, and crease both ends.
Using the creases as guides, accordion-fold the pieces.
Make five units and staple the bottom of each, then attach them together to form a flower.
Glue a small round piece of paper in the center to finish the flower.
Next, make the temari.
Fold a sheet of origami paper in half twice to make a square, then cut it into a circle.
Make ten of these.
Crease each one with a cross, open it up, then refold it in half with the colored side facing inward.
Staple along the horizontal crease and glue all ten pieces together to form a paper sphere.
Connect the flower and the temari with thread, and you’re done.
Cherry blossom wall decoration
Swaying wall decorations are lovely, aren’t they? A recommended way to make them is to combine strings to form a curtain-like shape and then attach petals to it.
For the petals, it’s best to cut them out of construction paper with scissors.
However, if you want to simplify the process, you can use a craft punch.
A craft punch is a tool that cuts paper into a specific shape when you punch it.
You can buy them at stationery stores, so give it a look.
Indoor Hanami: Sakura Wall Decorations
Enjoy cherry blossom viewing indoors! Here’s how to make a sakura wall display.
Stack five sheets of tissue paper and accordion-fold them at a width of 1.5 cm.
Fold in half, open it, and staple along the crease.
Round both ends like petals, then lift each layer up one by one.
Next, make the cherry blossoms.
Take 2–4 cm origami paper, front side up, and fold it into a triangle twice.
Open it once, then use the center crease as the axis and fold both corners up diagonally.
Draw a petal shape along the axis and cut it out.
Open it, make a single slit on one side, and glue the edges together with wood glue to create a 3D shape.
Attach the petals to the tissue paper.
Finally, cut tree branches from construction paper, glue on the sakura flowers, and you’re done!
