Lampshade made of paper

[100-Yen Shop DIY] Paper Lamp Shade

Why not try making a lampshade inspired by seasonal flowers? A lampshade is a shade that covers a lamp or bulb, and the materials and designs you use can create many different kinds of light.

This time, let’s make one using shoji paper and washi.

Tear the shoji paper and washi, or fold them into flower shapes and cut them out in advance.

Dilute craft glue with water and brush it onto an inflated balloon.

The key is to apply the glue over an area that matches the size of the shoji paper you’ll attach.

Once you’ve covered the entire surface with shoji paper, add the flower pieces made from washi.

Finally, coat the entire surface with the diluted glue, let it dry, and then pop the balloon.

You’ll have a beautiful spherical lampshade.

It’s also nice to place a dollar-store LED light inside for display.

Seniors are likely to be very pleased with such a lovely creation.

paper cup basket

[Paper Cup Craft] I tried making an easy and cute basket! How to make it / How to make a cute basket from paper cups. Easy craft.

The great thing about paper cups is that they’re light and easy to use.

Here’s a lovely basket you can make using a paper cup.

For those living in senior facilities, it’s just the right size for sharing snacks or candies with everyone.

All you need are paper cups and a cutting tool like a craft knife.

First, cut around the rim of the paper cup in a circle; the piece you cut off will be fashioned into the handle.

Next, make vertical slit strips in the cup body about 1–2 cm wide, then weave the cut strips to form the basket.

Attach the crafted handle to the cup, and you’re done.

If you color the cup or draw designs on it, you’ll have a charming one-of-a-kind basket.

Recommended for those who are good with their hands!

Easy pine cone craft with a glue gun: Owl

Let’s make a cute owl using a hot glue gun.

Use a pine cone as the base, cut the face and wing parts from felt, and simply glue them on—it’s easy.

Once the owl is finished, attach it to the base.

The cutest part of this idea is using a nut to make it look like the owl is wearing a little hat.

The eyes are basically made from felt, but if you use sticker eyes, the owl will have a slightly different look.

Felt doesn’t have to be only brown—using red, yellow, and other colors to make it colorful is adorable too.

Let’s try making an owl using pinecones, acorn caps, leaves, googly-eye stickers, felt, and construction paper.

Glue an acorn cap to the pinecone base with the inside of the cap facing forward.

Attach small googly-eye stickers inside the cap.

Cut feet and a beak from felt or construction paper and glue them to the base.

To evoke outstretched wings, attach leaves on both sides—and it’s done.

The owl’s look will change depending on the color and shape of the wings, so find leaves you like and give it a try.

An owl perched on a tree branch

@myideas2122

I picked up two pine cones and made a cute owl in a few simple steps. Let’s try it with your children #kindergarten#handmade#diy#handmade#parentchild#handmade#wasteturnintotreasure#creative#handmade please subscribe My YouTube channel link in bio ND follow me on Instagram

Here’s a cute handmade owl idea that looks like it’s perched on a tree branch.

Stick googly eye stickers onto the flat bottom of a pine cone.

Cut out feet from felt (or similar), insert them into the pine cone, and glue on curled, narrow dried leaves as decorative feathers.

Then place the owl on a suitable small twig, and it’s done.

This idea looks even cuter if you make several owls using the same steps and line them up, rather than making just one.

Try finding some small pine cones and give it a go.
