Koinobori decoration

[Children’s Day] Let’s make a carp streamer decoration. 🎏

Koinobori decoration

Here’s an idea for a carp streamer decoration in the style of a hanging scroll.

You can use origami carp and finish it in a way that suits the celebration of Children’s Day.

Fold the carp out of origami paper—Japanese patterns or other designs are recommended.

Attach crepe paper and washi to create a hanging scroll backing, then stick the origami carp onto it.

Making and attaching a windsock (fukinagashi) alongside the carp will look lovely as well.

Displayed on the wall like a hanging scroll, it can help evoke the feeling of May even for older adults.

Alternatively, insert a stick into a paper cup weighted with clay and attach the hanging scroll to the stick.

Soft, slightly translucent tissue paper.

This time, let’s imagine it as fish scales and make a carp streamer (koinobori).

For the koinobori base, cut colored construction paper to shape.

For the scales, tear the tissue paper into rectangles, fold each one in half, and twist the base.

Glue the scales onto the base in staggered rows, and your koinobori is complete! Depending on the colors of the construction paper and tissue paper, each piece will have its own unique character.

Display the finished work on a wall to enjoy the season, or attach it to a long straw and use it as a handheld koinobori.

Transparent Koinobori

@utatan_simple_crafts
[Easy and fun♪ Adorable translucent Koinobori] We had lots of clear round stickers (sealing stickers) at home, so we used them as fish scales and made a koinobori windsock 🎏 Designing the scale patterns yourself and sticking them on one by one is perfect for developing creativity, concentration, and fine motor skills ☺️ My 5-year-old daughter said, “I want to color neatly!” and filled in all the scales without leaving any gaps 🖋 (How they draw really shows each child’s personality, which is fun to see.) She also wanted to draw the koinobori outline herself, and when she did, it turned into a cute-shaped koinobori again! (Kids 4 and up might be able to do this part too ✨) If you don’t have clear round stickers, I think semi-transparent round stickers like washi tape-style ones would also look cute ☺️ Give it a try as a Children’s Day craft♪ ★Materials★ ✳︎ Clear file folder ✳︎ Gold origami paper (for the pinwheel parts) ✳︎ White round stickers ✳︎ Clear round stickers (sealing stickers) ✳︎ 1 wooden chopstick ★Tools★ ✳︎ Water-based pens ✳︎ Oil-based color pens ✳︎ Scissors ✳︎ Tissues ✳︎ Clear tape ****************************************** Creating daily with my 6-year-old daughter♪ Original craft recipes for parents and kids to enjoy (We also sell craft kits and digital craft data 🌸) Utatan’s Simple Crafts ⇨ @utatan_simple_crafts Thank you 🐰✨ ******************************************work #I love crafts Children's Day Children’s Day craft #May production #Childcare Crafting After-school day service #SeniorActivities #AtHomePlay #StayHomePlay Project #Koinobori Koinobori (carp streamers)Life with children Life with children Parenting Koinobori Craft

A skeleton koi-nobori you’ll want to display where the light shines! Just cut a clear file into the shape of a koi-nobori and stick on colored round stickers as the scales—an easy idea anyone can try.

Use transparent round stickers for the scales, and add any colors or patterns you like with a permanent marker.

Draw the tail fin’s pattern with a pen, and use opaque round stickers for the eyes.

Once your koi-nobori is finished, attach it to a pair of chopsticks, then top it off with a pinwheel made from a clear file, and you’re done!

Koinobori made of organdy ribbon

[Easy Craft] [100-Yen DIY] Simple with organza ribbon! A grown-up koi-nobori brooch [Koinobori craft] #shorts

Koinobori made of organdy ribbon

A stylish carp streamer made with sheer organza ribbon.

You can also attach it to clothing as a corsage.

First, cut the ribbon to twice the finished length.

Then fold it in half and secure it with double-sided tape.

The fold will be the head, so add an eye there, and cut the opposite end with scissors to make the tail fin.

After that, decorate it cutely with beads and lace to your taste! Attach felt to the back, then add a circular piece cut from a milk carton and a corsage pin on top, and you’re done.

Koinobori hanging decoration

[Easy] 🎏 How to Make Koinobori (Carp Streamers) 🎏 Just cut and paste ✨ [100-yen shop origami] How to make carp-shaped streamers

Koinobori hanging decoration

Koinobori look magnificent as they swim grandly through the sky and are a seasonal symbol of spring and early summer.

Let’s make a hanging decoration so you can enjoy koinobori indoors, too.

Use washi-patterned origami or regular origami to create the body of the koinobori and add the eyes.

Then thread the koinobori onto a string, make the fins and tail, and you’re done.

If you make several koinobori and hang them on the same string, it’s like seeing the magoi (black carp), higoi (red carp), and more together.

Watching the gently swaying indoor koinobori hanging decoration, some older adults may feel the arrival of May.

A large carp streamer calendar

Today we made the May calendar 🤗💕 Lately the daytime temperatures have been high, and it feels unbelievably hot considering the cherry blossoms were still in bloom just last week 😵☀️ Be sure not only to stay hydrated but also to eat three proper meals to keep up your strength♪Hoyu Day Service Nakano Hoyo-kai Translation Handicrafts Koinobori (carp streamers)Making a calendar
♬ Koinobori (Higher than the roof) – Hidenori Goto / Wakakusa Children’s Choir

May is the time of year when you often see koinobori carp streamers.

Older adults, too, will likely spot many koinobori when they go outside for walks in parks or open squares.

Let’s try making a fun, creative project that makes the calendar look like koinobori.

Using construction paper, make an oyagoi (father carp) or higoi (child carp), and hang them together with a calendar.

A calendar featuring koinobori could help older adults who find it hard to sense the seasons recognize the arrival of May.

Two simple types of koinobori (carp streamers)

Let’s try making a three-dimensional, paper-cut carp streamer with scales.

We’ll fold origami or construction paper and make slits as we go.

By changing where you cut with the scissors, you can create a variety of scale designs.

You can either stick the finished scales onto a sheet that becomes the body of the streamer, or stretch the scales themselves to form the body.

With a little ingenuity, you can make two types of carp streamers.

The materials are minimal, so it’s easy to make.

It’s also a project that older adults can enjoy, taking the finished piece home to decorate their own room.
