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.

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.

Here’s an introduction to a bookmark with a visible ribbon that peeks out from your book.

It’s a ribbon bookmark recommended for those who love cute things.

Cut a piece of construction paper into a long, narrow strip and fold it in half.

Leaving the folded end as the tip where the ribbon will be attached, glue the strip together.

Trim the corners at the ribbon end, attach the ribbon, and you’re done.

When making the ribbon, the key is to cut it a bit long.

Wrap the ribbon around your fingers to form it.

Many bookmarks only peek out slightly as a marker, but having the ribbon visible makes it even cuter.
