A clover flower crown
An irresistibly cute finish that’s sure to make your heart flutter! Here are some ideas for a white clover flower crown.
Many of you may have made flower crowns with white clover or clovers when you were little, right? This fun craft will bring back those memories.
You’ll need a stapler, white and pale light-green tissue paper, scissors, green pipe cleaners, and green duct tape.
After making white clover blossoms and clover leaves out of tissue paper or paper tape, twist and wrap them together just like you would when making a real white clover crown to complete it!
Cherry blossom mobile
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.
Dandelion decorations made with tissue paper
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.

You’ll need green construction paper, tissue paper, floral wire, a toothpick, scissors, a stapler, glue, a ruler, a pencil, and floral tape.
You can find the materials at a 100-yen shop! There are some detailed steps, but the finished carnation looks just like a real flower.
Give it a try!

If you want to lift the mood of your space or need decorations for an event, why not try making a garland? You’ll need scissors or a utility knife, tissue paper, a ruler, a hot glue gun or tape, and string.

The key is to cut the paper and then twist it together as you assemble it.
Give it a try!
hibiscus
Recommended when you want a taste of summer! Here are some hibiscus ideas.
Speaking of hibiscus, it’s one of the flowers that represent Okinawa.
