A collection of handmade bouquet ideas that convey feelings of gratitude and celebration (1–10)
Spiral bouquet
Twist the cut origami to create wrinkles, layering them to form a flower-like shape.
The key point is the sense of depth created by multiple layers of wrinkles on the paper.
When you cut, radial fold lines appear; use them as a guide while twisting, and pay attention to the direction in which you add the wrinkles.
Since you’ll be layering the paper onto a straw as the base, it’s recommended to use similar color tones while considering the overall balance of the finished piece.
Choosing the right ribbon to tie the bouquet can also help make the flowers stand out.
Bouquet of carnations
A bouquet themed around carnations made from origami—the softness of the petals and the three-dimensional effect created by their overlapping are the keys to its beauty.
You fold the paper, make small cuts, then wrap it around a stem piece and gently spread it out to form the flower.
Paying close attention to the wrapping angle and how you open it up is essential for creating depth.
Finally, bundle the flowers together, add some decoration, and your bouquet is complete—use color balance to bring out its beauty.
Bouquet of yarn flowers
Crochet yarn into flowers and combine them to form a bouquet.
The soft texture of the yarn and the three-dimensional effect created by assembling the pieces are striking, aren’t they? Instead of crocheting flat, give volume to the edges and cinch the petals firmly at the center to create depth for each flower.
Attach a pearl to the center, add a stem, and the flower is complete.
Gather flowers made in various colors into a bouquet shape.
For wrapping, it’s best to choose something that really brings out the colors of the flowers.
Mini bouquet
A small, cute bouquet made with chenille stems (pipe cleaners), beads, and doilies.
It’s great that you can get all the materials, including the pipe cleaners, at a 100-yen shop.
For the petals, simply make loops and bend them; for the stems, thread the beads and then attach them to the petals.
You won’t need scissors or any tools—just the materials—which is another big plus.
Try making a colorful bouquet with pipe cleaners in different colors.
It looks adorable as room decor and also makes a lovely gift.
origami bouquet
This bouquet is made by assembling three-dimensional petals crafted from origami and arranging them together.
First, fold a sheet of origami paper into quarters and make cuts with scissors to create a circle with slits.
Then, using a toothpick or similar tool, curl the edges and cut out the shapes to complete the petals.
Next, use a wire as a guide and gently glue the petals together to form a flower.
Bundle the flowers and add decorations to create the bouquet.
Because the steps are detailed, each individual flower turns out beautifully, so even a small number of flowers will result in a lavish-looking bouquet.
Bouquet of pipe cleaners
A three-dimensional tulip made from pipe cleaners, along with a vibrant bouquet bound together.
By assembling the pipe cleaners so that the petals overlap, their softness is clearly emphasized.
Each tulip petal is crafted individually from pipe cleaners, then petals of the same color are put together to form the tulip shape.
The more you layer the petals, the fuller it becomes, but if you’re planning to make a bouquet, it’s best to keep the volume modest.
Once the flowers are finished, attach the stems and bundle them securely to complete the bouquet.
Quilling rose
Let’s make a bouquet using paper roses, called quilling roses.
The soft texture of paper is a striking feature.
To create quilling roses, take a long, narrow strip of paper, fold it into a spiral, then roll and tighten it from the center to form a rose shape.
Next, attach a stem piece, bundle the flowers together, wrap them in wrapping paper, and add decorations like a ribbon to complete the bouquet.
It’s recommended to choose stem and wrapping paper colors close to the flowers to create a cohesive look, and to make a compact bouquet that matches the size of the flowers.
