Sunflower decoration

Sunflower decoration made of construction paper: a summer ornament crafted from paper! It looks like it’s in a frame… Here’s how to make it so you can either hang it on the wall or display it standing! [Tsukuru Mon]

Here’s a summer decoration idea featuring sunflowers that can instantly brighten up a room with just one piece.

It creates lively sunflowers that look as if they’re popping out of the frame, and you can hang it on the wall or display it on a surface.

First, cut construction paper to make a frame.

Since it involves cutting and pasting, anyone can easily give it a try.

Next, cut construction paper for the petals and the center of the flower.

Attach each part to form the sunflower.

Also make the leaves, and add folds to give them a three-dimensional look.

To finish, arrange each part on the frame as you like—and you’re done! If you let some pieces extend slightly beyond the frame, it can add a dynamic effect.

cake

Fingerplay Video ⑤ Paper Quilling – Cupcake

Use a plastic bottle cap as the base and decorate it to create a cake-like appearance.

Since the paper decorations will stand out more, we recommend using caps with minimal designs.

The way you wrap the paper is key: by wrapping paper cut into curves or opening up rolled paper, you can create various cake decorations.

Think of decorating the cap with parts inspired by roses and ribbons.

In addition to paper decorations, incorporating beads and similar elements will make the cake look even more gorgeous.

How to Make a Mickey & Minnie Mouse Ring Chain [Birthday Party Decorations]

These Mickey & Minnie Mouse paper chains are perfect for fans of Mickey and Minnie or for birthday parties.

Let’s customize classic looped garlands with a Mickey & Minnie theme! For the Mickey version, add loops that look like his ears or red shorts; for the Minnie version, just include ribbon accents or polka-dot loops to capture her vibe.

You can hang them vertically or horizontally—either works! Adjust the decoration style to suit your room’s size and atmosphere.

Lucky Star

All you need are construction paper and scissors! How to make a lucky star

Let’s make a cute, puffy lucky star! You can make this with just construction paper.

First, cut the construction paper into a strip and tie a single overhand knot near one end.

Don’t pull it too tight—fold it neatly so a small pentagon shape forms, then flatten it gently.

Tuck the short end into the knot to hide it.

Next, wrap the remaining long end around the pentagon, following the edges as you go.

When you’ve wrapped it all, tuck the end into the knot again.

Gently press each side of the pentagon inward and pinch the corners to shape it.

Your lucky star is complete!

umbrella

Three-dimensional umbrella made from construction paper

Items with umbrella motifs are perfect for the rainy season.

This time, let’s make an umbrella using construction paper.

You can get all the materials at a 100-yen shop, so the convenience of being able to make it anytime is a big plus.

Since construction paper is thick, it adds strength and lets you create a three-dimensional umbrella.

It’s also easy to make, so it’s a craft that’s accessible for seniors, too.

Attach a wire and hang it on the wall, and it will look great as room decor.

Let’s decorate with umbrella-themed items so we can enjoy the rainy season.

Give it a try!
