[100-yen DIY] Koinobori made with felt
Felt carp streamersNEW!

It’s a mascot strung with colorful koinobori (carp streamers) that conveys a sense of fun.

The base uses bamboo skewers and plastic bottle caps; it’s recommended to wrap felt around the caps to match the color of the skewers.

The koinobori are made to wrap around the stick: trim both ends of a long, thin strip of felt into tail fins, then glue it together while wrapping it around the stick.

It’s also recommended to add decorations like a cross pattern before gluing; arrange them so they look beautiful.

Your sense of style will also be tested by which colors you choose for the koinobori and the order in which you arrange them.

This is a small tabletop koinobori ornament that lets you enjoy the spirit of May anytime.

Let’s build the base using wood-like craft materials you can get at a 100-yen shop: an MDF board, felt, bamboo skewers, and toothpicks.

Use an awl to make small holes in the MDF board and secure the bamboo skewers and toothpicks.

Make a ring with craft band, and create three carp streamers using patterned origami and colored paper.

Also make a spinning ball with craft band, and an iris flower and a samurai helmet with origami; attach each to the bamboo skewers and toothpicks to finish.

It doesn’t take up much space, so it’s perfect for displaying in the homes of older adults or in rooms at care facilities.

Since there’s a lot of fine work involved, it’s recommended for people who enjoy crafting.

Let’s make an easy-to-display koinobori (carp streamers) for your room using origami and craft bands.

Glue the craft band into a circle to use as a frame.

Make the koinobori, streamers, banner flag, pinwheel, and kabuto (samurai helmet) out of origami.

For the koinobori, layer plain and traditional-pattern origami of different sizes, then fold it into thirds to form the shape.

For the other parts, cut slits into the origami or glue smaller pieces together as needed.

You can fold the kabuto in any style you like.

Once all the parts are finished, hang them from the frame with string, and you’re done.

Here’s how to fold a cute carp streamer with a puffy mouth.

It’s very easy, so everyone from children to seniors can enjoy making it.

If you use quarter-size origami, it turns out small and adorable; with a 15 cm square, it will be palm-sized.

First, place the origami colored side up and fold it into a triangle twice, then unfold.

Fold the bottom edge up to the nearest crease, then fold it up once more along the same line.

Shape it along the creases, flip it over, fold to the center, and repeat on the other side.

Finally, fold it in half, then decorate with round stickers for the eyes and patterns, and your cute carp streamer is complete.

Let’s make a koi-nobori carp streamer from origami that you can place as a decoration.

Take a 7.5 cm square sheet of origami paper, fold about 1 cm along one side, then fold the two adjacent sides so their corners meet at a slight angle to form the koi-nobori.

Using round stickers for the eyes makes it quick and easy.

Make two of these.

For the streamer, use a 7.5 cm square of white origami paper.

Fold about 1.5 cm along one side and secure it with tape, then attach red, yellow, and green origami strips measuring 1.5 cm by 7.5 cm.

Attach pipe cleaners to both the koi-nobori and the streamer, and fasten them to a straw fixed to a base to finish.

Enjoy crafting koi-nobori that gracefully “swim” in the refreshing May weather.

Original scale-patterned koi nobori (carp streamer)

This is a carp streamer craft where you use any patterned paper—like origami paper, flyers, or shopping bags—as scales.

First, cut thick paper into the shape of a carp streamer to make the base, then cut the paper for the scales into squares of the same size.

After that, simply paste the scales onto the base however you like.

If you want to add eyes, use round stickers or a pen.

Gathering not only different patterns but also different materials will add depth and may result in an even more charming piece.
