Dandelion decorations made with tissue paperNEW!
Spring is the season when all kinds of flowers begin to bloom, and their colorful, soft appearance really highlights the warmth of the season.
Among these classic spring blossoms, this decoration features dandelions made from tissue paper to evoke a springtime feel.
For the flower heads, stack sheets of tissue paper, fold them in an accordion, tie them together, snip cuts into the edges, then fan them out to shape.
For stems and leaves, origami or construction paper is recommended—use different materials from the flower parts to emphasize the flower’s softness.
A key point is the versatility: you can stick them onto a background or attach strings and hang them, allowing for a variety of display styles.
Cherry blossom mobileNEW!
This is a simple yet beautiful decoration featuring a string of three-dimensional cherry blossoms.
The main materials are tissue paper and toilet paper rolls; make the most of their softness and rounded shapes as you work.
The flower bases are made from the paper rolls: cut them to a uniform width and shape them like petals.
Then attach tissue paper to these, assemble them into cherry blossom shapes, and hang them with string to finish.
Deciding how to size and arrange the blossoms is also a key point for achieving a beautiful look.
Rapeseed blossoms and butterfliesNEW!
This is a decoration that arranges rapeseed blossoms, finished with a soft look by layering tissue paper.
Make each flower by carefully stacking the tissue paper to add volume, bringing out a soft, rounded feel.
Instead of using just one stem, line up rapeseed blossoms of varying heights to further emphasize both beauty and fullness.
Adding butterfly motifs will also convey the warmth of spring, which is highly recommended.
