Mini bouquet made with tissue paper
Mini bouquets made with tissue paper are perfect gifts because the flowers never wilt.
Stack several sheets of tissue paper and accordion-fold them, staple the center, then round off both ends with scissors.
Next, fold a green chenille stem (pipe cleaner) in half, hook it over the center of the tissue, and twist to secure, creating the stem.
Gently lift each layer of tissue from the top toward the center to form the flower.
Wrap it with a paper doily and tie a ribbon to finish.
For an even more elegant look, adhere lace under the flower.
Versatile! Checkerboard

When children enter elementary school, they need to manage their belongings and prepare so they don’t forget anything.
A checklist board is useful for this.
Cut the coffee filters you used for a bleeding-art project into small pieces and glue them around the edge of an A4 sheet of construction paper to make a frame.
Then glue a B5 sheet of construction paper on top, laminate it, and use an awl to make holes for threading chenille stems (pipe cleaners).
Make the holes in pairs, with as many pairs as you have checklist items.
Thread a straw onto each pipe cleaner, pass the pipe cleaner through the holes, and secure it.
You can slide the straw left and right to mark items as checked.
Since it’s laminated, you can use a whiteboard marker and reuse it over and over, which is really convenient.
Handmade rosettes using side-dish cups
A handmade rosette is perfect as a gift and also makes a memorable keepsake.
Prepare construction paper, food cup liners, glue, scissors, and ribbon, and let’s get started.
First accordion-fold the construction paper, then cut it into strips.
Overlap the strips in a cross shape as you glue them, and fold them toward the center to create and puff up the rosette’s flower portion.
It’s recommended to staple every two or three pieces to keep the shape firmly in place.
Glue construction paper to the bottom of a food cup liner, attach it to the rosette base with double-sided tape, then stick the ribbon on the bottom to finish.
You might also write a message of thanks in the center to prepare it for gifting.
Make it with sweets! Candy bag
A candy bag that kids would be thrilled to receive! Here, we’re introducing a shoulder bag.
Use individually wrapped or small candies and start by making the bottom and sides of the bag.
Then add a flap, and attach a shoulder strap made by putting candies into clear film—and it’s done! Aim for a size about the same as a yellow kindergarten bag.
For the bottom of the bag, it’s best to use sturdy items like boxed sweets.
Use clear tape for the adhesive.
Adorably cute magnet cake
Here’s an idea for making cake-themed magnets.
Use a plastic bottle cap as the base.
First, fix a magnet inside the cap and cover the sides with felt.
Then wrap a ribbon around the felt and glue it in place.
Turn it upside down so the bottom faces up, and start adding the “cream.” Mix shaving foam and glue in a 1:1 ratio, then add your preferred paint color to tint it.
Finish by decorating the cream with any small parts you like, and you’re done!
A cute flower with candy inside
@niconico_mama [Graduation Gift] I made something where, if you embed that little something in a cute flower and give it as a present, it’ll make that beloved kid so happy 🥰#Graduation from kindergartenGraduationGraduation Ceremony#asmr

Here’s how to make a flower using a lollipop.
First, stack several sheets of tissue paper and accordion-fold them, then cut a slit in the center.
Insert the lollipop through the slit to secure it, and peel back the tissue paper sheets one by one to create petals around the candy.
The candy acts as the stamen and the stick as the stem.
Making several and arranging them into a bouquet would be lovely—try using different colors of tissue paper for that.

Let’s make colorful, cute coasters with your favorite photos.
Prepare clear tape, nano tape, double-sided tape, scissors, a clear file folder, and your memorable photos.
Stick transparent origami onto nano tape and cut it into squares.
Cut the clear file into the base shape of the coaster.
Place the photo inside and secure it with double-sided tape, then attach the nano tape with the transparent origami around the photo to frame and decorate it.
It’s also fun to choose the color order while thinking of the person you’re gifting it to.
They might look great as indoor decorations, too.
