Pom-pom flower ball

How about making a pom-pom flower ball with a bright and cute look? The process takes a bit of effort, but it’s not as difficult as it looks.

Cut a cone shape out of paper and snip off the tip, then make jagged cuts to create petal-like edges.

Next, use a toothpick to curl the petals.

It’s a steady, repetitive task, but this is the key to making it cute and giving it that round, pom-pom look! Finally, gather the curled colored paper and glue it together with wood glue or similar.

It also looks adorable if you stick on just half of it to the wall.

Collage on colorful washi paper

Collage – Introducing stylish collages using leftover washi paper –

This is a stylish collage using Japanese calligraphy paper (hanshi).

You’ll need drawing paper, hanshi, scissors, glue, and paints or colored pencils.

First, paint the hanshi with various colors.

Be careful not to use too much water, as the hanshi can tear.

After it’s thoroughly dry, trim off the margins and cut out leaf shapes.

Then glue the leaves onto tree branches you’ve drawn on the drawing paper.

The marbled coloring creates a unique, beautiful texture that really catches the eye—perfect for brightening up Respect for the Aged Day as a striking wall decoration!

collage letters

Taught by an occupational therapist: Anyone can do it! How to make “collage letters” with simple scissor cuts [Chill Out with Crafts] #1

How about making a lucky-character collage—featuring auspicious characters like “福” (good fortune) or “祝” (congratulations)—for Respect for the Aged Day, using old magazines or flyer inserts you no longer read? Once you’ve chosen the character, type it on your computer and print it out.

Turn the paper over and trace the outline of the character with a red pen.

Cut out random pieces of colored sections (anything but black) from magazines and flyers, and paste them on the front side of the character.

After pasting, cut along the red outline on the back to shape it into the character.

Mount it on white drawing paper for a beautiful, textured collage.

It also looks great on colored paper!
