Carnation Toy PoodleNEW!

[Easy ✨ Mother’s Day] Carnation puppies made with tissue paper 💕 Toy Poodle [Mother’s Day Gift] All from the 100-yen shop! Mother’s Day carnations & puppies. Origami. Paper crafts
Carnation Toy PoodleNEW!

Perfect for gifts! Here’s how to make a carnation toy poodle using simple tissue paper.

Prepare tissue paper in your preferred size and some wire; accordion-fold the tissue paper and secure it with the wire.

Get a basket or any gift container you like, decorate it, and you’re done! The key is to offset the head and mouth carnations.

Insert the ears sideways so each carnation reads as a separate part—that’s the idea.

Shaping the mouth carnation by flattening it horizontally makes it even cuter.

Be sure to give it a try!

Once shaped, attach a safety pin or brooch pin to the back.

Finish by decorating with a ribbon or stickers for extra flair.

It’s easy to make, so this brooch is perfect for seniors’ crafts or as a Mother’s Day gift.

The red and white flowers look gorgeous and are perfect for a Mother’s Day decoration.

First, stack 4–5 sheets each of red and white tissue paper, fold them in an accordion, and secure the center tightly with a twist tie.

Round the edges to shape the petals, then fan out each sheet to create a soft, three-dimensional carnation.

Next, use green construction paper to make leaves and stems, attach them to the flowers, and stabilize the arrangement.

Gather the flowers and leaves and tie them with a twist tie or ribbon, then layer lace paper around them to finish with a more festive, authentic bouquet.

Adjust the spread and angle of the petals, and alternate red and white to improve the overall balance.

This method is also recommended beyond Mother’s Day: by changing the flower type and colors, you can adapt it for seasonal decorations.
