Construction paper craft ideas adults can enjoy—from small accessories to stylish home decor

pen holder

@maho.mama♬ Katakoto – sloppy dim

Let’s make a simple yet stylish pen holder! First, take a square sheet of colored paper, fold it in half twice to make creases, then open it.

Fold the top two corners toward the center, and fold the bottom edge up to the horizontal center line.

Fold the left and right sides in to meet the vertical center line, then overlap the folded sections and glue them to form a triangular prism—this completes one unit.

Make six of these units.

After gluing them all together, attach a piece of thick paper to the bottom, decorate as you like, and you’re done! It’s not very durable, but it’s great when you want a pen holder you can make quickly.

Same Thing (feat. Superorganism) – Gen Hoshino

Perfect for your room’s interior! Let’s make a planet mobile.

It’s very easy: just cut colored paper into circles, fold each in half, and glue the halves together.

Glue enough pieces to form a ball.

Prepare a few colors to make it nice and colorful.

If you cut out the inside of a circular piece and attach it around the ball, it will look like Saturn.

Thread a string through the center to connect them, and your planet mobile is complete! Try hanging it from the ceiling as a decoration.

Anniversary Album

Here’s a recommended idea for anyone who wants to give an album as a gift to friends or family.

Prepare three sheets of construction paper measuring 90 cm by 90 cm.

Fold each sheet twice into a square and once into a triangle to make crease lines.

Overlap and glue the bottom right corner to the top left corner to connect the three sheets, then attach photos in the four central spots.

After that, fold it up, add a cover, and wrap it with a ribbon—that’s it! If you use colored paper and decorate the empty spaces with stickers or stamps, it will turn into an even more wonderful gift.

clover

(Construction paper) How to make spring decorations: clovers [DIY] (Drawing paper) Spring decoration: Clover

Here’s a clover craft idea using construction paper.

First, draw two horizontally long ovals stacked vertically.

Then, inside each one, draw the same shape slightly smaller.

Draw a horizontal line across the center of the ovals, then trace over the inner ovals and the horizontal line multiple times with a pen to score them.

Be careful not to tear the paper.

Fold along the horizontal line as a valley fold and along the inner oval edges as mountain folds, then pinch the center firmly and glue it in place.

That completes your three-dimensional clover.

If you attach the clovers to a circular base made from cardboard, you can also use it as a spring wreath.

Score a rectangular sheet of drawing paper and assemble the storage box along the score lines.

Make four identical pieces: use two as the outer frame and the other two as drawers.

Attach handles to the drawers using beads or pearls.

Stack the two frames and glue them together.

Cut thick paper to the size of the drawers’ side panels and insert it inside the assembled drawing paper to increase strength.

small bird

(Drawing paper) Easy and cute! How to make a little bird [DIY]

Let’s make a small bird with paper quilling.

First, connect strips of construction paper to make them longer.

Wrap them around something like chopsticks to create loose circles.

Once you’ve made a circle, unwind the end a little, glue it down, and gently loosen the circle to form the bird’s head.

Next, stack strips of construction paper of the same length and glue one end together.

Roll up the glued end to make the body, and curl the opposite end to form the tail.

Attach the head to the body, add a beak, and you’re done.

[100-yen DIY] So pretty ✨ An umbrella made from construction paper ☂️ umbrella

For a rainy-season interior decoration, why not make a paper umbrella? Prepare ten circular pieces with a diameter of 8 cm.

Fold each one in half, then fold in half again.

Secure the inside of the folds with double-sided tape, and attach all ten pieces together to form the umbrella.

Insert a rolled tube made from origami paper through the center and curve one end to create the handle.

Glue a bead to the top as a decorative accent to finish.

Make the circular pieces from construction paper in various colors for a vibrant umbrella.

It could also look cute made with transparent origami paper.
