Spring wall decorations: A roundup of recommended motifs for nurseries and kindergartens

10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.

After working for five years at an after-school childcare club and three years at a nursery school, I began working as a freelance writer. I’m a mother of two children. Inspired by playing the flute in the school wind ensemble in elementary school, I joined a jazz club at university. I’ve also incorporated ukulele and piano performance into childcare. Playing, laughing, feeling sad, feeling frustrated—through all kinds of experiences, I want children to grow.

Sakura mobile made of origami

Hanging Sakura Decorations 🌸 Easy to make with origami ✨ Paper Craft DIY Cherry Blossoms

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

Garland with Cherry Blossoms! Introducing ones made from origami! Perfect for spring decorations! | DIY How to make a paper cherry blossom garland [Tukuru]

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

Introducing how to make a flower garland with origami or paper tape! | DIY How to make paper flower garland [Tukuru]

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

Spring interior handmade flag garland: how to make it

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.
