Recommended adult crafts for spring (1–10)
Easter egg
Easter eggs are essential decorations for Easter festivities.
Let’s make some to match your event by painting or drawing on eggs! It’s fine to color the eggs directly with paints or colored pens.
If drawing on the round surface is tricky, using paper napkins is recommended.
Prepare paper napkins with patterns you like and cut out the parts you want to use.
Brush decoupage glue over the entire egg, arrange and stick the napkin pieces as you like, then brush more decoupage glue over the top.
Once it dries, you’re done!
Mole Tulip
Let’s make tulips that bloom in a rainbow of colors for spring using chenille stems (pipe cleaners)! Choose your favorite colors and fold them to the size of the petals.
Prepare as many of these parts as the number of petals you want.
While assembling the petals, attach a green stick to serve as the tulip’s stem.
Using a green pipe cleaner, make slightly larger leaves in the same way you made the petals.
Wrap floral tape starting from the base where the flower and stem meet, attaching the leaves as you go—that’s it! It’s also fun to combine several to make a tulip bouquet.
Spring String Art
String art is made by looping thread around nails hammered into a wooden board.
By changing the placement of the nails and getting creative with how you wrap the thread, you can make spring-themed pieces too! When hammering the nails into the board, place them as if you’re drawing the design you want to create.
After that, all you have to do is loop the thread around the nails you’ve set, and you’re done.
Try hooking the thread in various ways—between nails on the diagonal, in order from one end, and so on.
Experiment by combining several thread colors or varying the height at which the thread catches on the nails.
If you’re making a cherry blossom motif, you might also change the colors of the nails or thread for the petals and the stamens.
Sakura Kusudama
Let’s make a round, cute cherry blossom kusudama using origami! We’ll create three-dimensional cherry blossom petals out of origami.
Once they’re ready, group them in sets of five to form individual cherry blossoms, then combine those blossoms to assemble a large kusudama.
Apply glue and assemble by imagining the corners being attached to each other.
To avoid gaps, be sure to apply plenty of glue where each flower overlaps—this is the key point.
Finally, attach a white bead to the center of each flower, and you’re done! It’s also fun to vary the size and color.
Cherry Blossom Earrings (Pierced/Clip-on)
How about making cherry blossom earrings for a spring outing? Shape cherry blossom petals with wire, then pour in pink-tinted resin.
Combine five petals and attach a finding with a decorative center using resin.
Apply resin to both the front and back of the center to secure it firmly.
Then attach earring or clip-on hardware, and you’re done! You can also add other decorations or extra petals if you like.
Put on your handmade earrings and head out for some cherry-blossom viewing!
