Let’s make a dynamic and vibrant flower pop-up card with origami! Prepare three sheets of origami paper in your favorite colors.

Fold each one into a long, narrow triangle shape, round off the tip with scissors, and unfold.

After unfolding, cut off a portion from one of them, then glue the cut edges together to close the gap.

Glue this piece together with the other two to complete one flower.

Make seven sets of these.

Glue all of them together to form a large flower.

Add some leaves during the process.

Finally, attach everything to a cardstock base, and you’re done! You’ll have a card with a striking large flower—perfect for a gift.

small accessory case

Idea accessory container made from a paper cup [craft][handicraft]

Since 100-yen shops can be found all over the country, we often end up buying things like small storage containers there.

However, if it’s something handmade by your grandchildren or children, it will surely be cherished far more than something bought at a store.

So why not use materials like paper cups and other recycled items to make a lovely little container as a gift? You can finish it by decorating the materials in various ways—drawing pictures, painting, wrapping yarn, or adding stickers.

Including a note of thanks—something that might be hard to say out loud—could also be a nice touch.

Handprint & Footprint Art

Great for Respect for the Aged Day gifts, too—handprint and footprint art that cutely captures this moment

Grandpas and grandmas are happiest of all to see their grandchildren and great-grandchildren grow.

Create handprint and footprint art that lets you see each child’s growth at a glance, and give it as a Respect for the Aged Day gift.

Prepare colored or drawing paper, ink pads in your favorite colors, decorative masking tape, and so on.

First, choose a motif—such as drawing a fish with handprints or an animal with footprints.

Once you’ve settled on the image, all that’s left is to enjoy decorating.

If you paint using only your fingers without brushes or pens, it adds a lively sense of motion.

Don’t forget to add the date so you can look back and feel how much they’ve grown that year!
