Cherry blossom wall decoration made with origami
Feel the Japanese spring indoors! Let me introduce a cherry blossom wall decoration made with origami.
What you’ll need: jute twine, paper tape, masking tape, scissors, green origami paper, light pink origami paper, brown origami paper, and a ruler.
By twisting and attaching the paper tape, you can create a round frame, and by making and attaching cherry blossoms and petals, you can give it a sense of movement—it’s a craft full of wonderful ideas.
It’s a great way to enjoy spring inside, so I highly recommend it!
Sakura mobile made of origami
Here’s an introduction to making a hanging cherry blossom ornament with origami.
You fold it the same way as when making an origami star to create a five-petaled cherry blossom.
Make four blossoms with the same pattern, stack them, and glue them together at the center.
When you gently open it up, the cherry blossom becomes three-dimensional and looks adorable from every angle! The key is to make four identical pieces, so when you cut patterns into the petals, create a template and use it to make four matching petals.
Decorating with clear fishing line or spring-colored yarn will brighten up your room.
Origami cherry blossom garland
Why not decorate your room with a garland of cherry blossoms made from origami? Here’s an idea for a sakura garland created by cutting and linking pieces of origami paper.
Just like when you make an origami star, fold the paper into a pentagon, draw the shape of sakura petals, and cut it out with scissors.
When you unfold it, you’ll have five petals with the same pattern.
Feel free to draw any petal design you like—the surprise when you open it is part of the fun.
To connect them into a garland, make a single cut on one part of each blossom and link them together.
You can connect them horizontally or vertically to create a delightful garland!
Origami and paper tape garlands
Here’s a softly three-dimensional flower garland.
The petals are made to pop out, and it’s super cute! Cut your favorite colored origami paper to make eight strips.
You’ll roll each of the eight strips, but be careful: if you glue the colored side to the back edge, it will just form a ring.
To make petals, glue the colored sides together where they meet.
That way, you’ll get adorable petal shapes! Make eight of these loops.
Then, cut a yellow circle from origami paper and glue the petals around it—that’s it! You can also have fun customizing it by changing the flower colors or making the yellow center a shape other than a circle.
Spring flag garland
Let’s stylishly decorate your windows and walls! Here are some ideas for spring flag garlands.
You’ll need origami or construction paper in your favorite colors and patterns, scissors, double-sided tape, twine, and a pencil.
First, fold the paper in half and sketch a triangle.
Next, keeping one side connected, cut along the other sides with scissors to make your pieces.
Finally, sandwich the twine between the paper and stick it down to finish! Even with the same method, changing the colors and patterns of the flags will give a different vibe, so it’s highly recommended.
Spring wildflowers
Just by varying the folding method and cutting, you can create a bright, festive wall display! Here are some ideas featuring spring wildflowers.
Spring is the season when you can see all kinds of flowers and plants, right? These ideas, using those flowers as motifs, are perfect for celebrating school entry or moving up a grade.
Using construction paper or origami and cutting out flower and leaf shapes, you can easily create simple, bright, springlike designs.
The fact that you only need to tweak the folding and cut is another delightful plus.
By decorating the walls with a spring feel, you’ll convey a warm spirit of celebration for advancement and school entry!
Kashiwa-mochi motif
Kashiwa-mochi—something many kids look forward to eating on Children’s Day! Cut white construction paper to make the mochi pieces, sandwich them with dark green leaf pieces, and add light green veins to create the oak leaf pattern—your kashiwa-mochi motif is complete! Decorate the wall together with other Children’s Day and Boys’ Festival motifs like carp streamers, iris flowers, and animals wearing samurai helmets.
Seeing these tasty-looking decorations might just make kids want to beg at home, saying, “I want kashiwa-mochi!”
