carp streamer

[Children’s Day Craft] Colorful Tissue-Paper Koinobori [May Project]

May 5th is Children’s Day, isn’t it? How about giving your grandchild a carp streamer as a gift to wish them healthy, vigorous growth? This time, let’s make a koi nobori using tissue paper.

First, cut a plastic bag into a shallow V-shape.

Then tear colorful tissue paper by hand.

There’s no set size, so it’s nice that you can tear it freely.

Put the pieces into the plastic bag and give it a shake.

Attach an eye, and you’ve got a splendid carp streamer! It’s great because you can display it in a room and it’s easy to carry around.

goldfish

Kimie Gangi’s tissue-paper craft: a super-easy goldfish that even little kids can make — Paper Works: Super Easy Goldfish

Making goldfish out of tissue paper is a lovely craft idea.

Using tissue paper in various colors will give you bright, festive goldfish.

It’s also fun to chat about old memories while working together with older adults.

Simple Fishing Rod and Goldfish

Kimie Gangi: How to Make an Easy-to-Store Fishing Rod & Goldfish with Clip

Why not make a fishing rod and goldfish to enjoy a summer-themed game? For the goldfish, crumple tissue paper into a ball, then wrap it with more tissue paper and shape it like a goldfish.

Add eyes, insert a clip at the mouth, and glue it in place to finish.

For the fishing rod, bundle four tightly rolled paper sticks together, and attach a short piece of thin straw to one of them.

Thread a string with a hook (the clip’s prong) through the straw and cut it to your preferred length.

Add a stopper by threading on beads, and it’s done.

Let the line hang, hook the clip on the goldfish, and pull the string to reel it in.

The shape of the fishbowl can be whatever you like.

Hang the goldfish together with the fishbowl to finish.

butterfly

Kimie Gangi spring wall decoration: super easy 'tissue paper butterfly' with templates #butterfly #easy #howto #seniors #DIY

Let’s try creating the soft, fluffy feel of butterfly wings using tissue paper.

Prepare a butterfly-shaped template and cut the tissue paper along it to make neatly shaped butterflies.

For the body and antennae, shape the tissue paper butterfly using chenille stems (pipe cleaners).

Wrapping pipe cleaners or regular ones are available at 100-yen shops, so they’re easy to get.

You can also enjoy making butterflies by changing the template size.

Displaying the finished pieces on facility walls to add color is a lovely idea.

Since it involves finger work, it may also help with cognitive training for older adults.
