Paper quilling strawberry

How to Make Cute Paper Strawberries (Paper Quilling) – DIY Tutorial

Let’s make a cute strawberry decoration that evokes spring! Cut sturdy TANT paper into long, narrow strips.

Join several strips end to end to make one long strip, then use a quilling tool or a pin to roll it up tightly.

Make two of these rolls.

For one, push up the center a lot to form a pointed tip like the end of a strawberry; for the other, raise the center only slightly.

Apply glue to the inside of each roll so they don’t unwind.

Once the glue dries, attach the two pieces together to form the strawberry shape.

Add strawberry seeds using fabric paint, and finish by attaching a calyx made from green TANT paper.

Make several and place them in a basket for an adorable spring display!

Glass sand art

[How to Make] Spring-Inspired Little Bird Pastel Sand Art (Glass Sand Art)

Glass sand art is made by layering different colors of sand in a clear glass cup or jar.

Let’s create a spring-themed decoration using springlike sand colors such as pink, yellow, and green! It’s easy to make—just add the sand in layers.

As you pour, be careful so the layers above and below don’t mix too much.

If you want to add decorations on top, place a floral foam inside the cup or jar before adding the sand.

After you’ve added all the sand, you can insert the decorations into the foam to arrange them.

That’s all it takes to make a simple spring decoration—give it a try!

cloth slippers

A fun-to-knit, soft and comfortable fabric slipper collection

These are fabric slippers with a colorful, soft look, made by braiding long, rolled strips of cloth.

Tie four plastic cords together at one end, then use those four cords as guides to braid the long fabric strips.

Avoid leaving gaps in the fabric and make sure the guide cords don’t show—this will result in a sturdier finish.

Once the base is braided, use another piece of fabric to add the arch section and decorations to complete the slippers.

It’s a craft that requires careful fine-tuning, such as stiffening certain parts and keeping others gently flexible to fit the foot, all while maintaining good balance.

Making felt flowers

Why not try making flowers that never wilt using felt and pipe cleaners? It’s very easy and cute.

First, cut petals out of felt.

Slightly fold the base of each petal and snip along the crease—this is where you’ll thread the pipe cleaner later.

Cut a light green pipe cleaner into three 4 cm pieces.

Lay two pieces in an X shape, then place the third straight across and twist to form the stamen.

Wrap a green pipe cleaner around to make the stem, and wrap a yellow pipe cleaner around the tip of the stamen to represent the pollen.

Finally, thread the petals onto the stem and glue them in place to finish.

Try making your favorite flowers!

Iced Deco Cup

Let’s make an “icy deco cup” using interior stones and a cup sold at 100-yen shops.

All you need is your favorite cup, interior stones, a hot glue gun, and any decorative parts you like.

It’s really simple to make—just use the glue gun to attach the interior stones and parts to the cup! If you choose clear, colorless parts to match the interior stones, the whole thing will look like an ice glass.

You can use store-bought parts, or if you’re good with resin, you can make your own.
