Sunflower pop-up card

[Sunflower] Flower Pop-up Card – Summer Birthday | Made with 100-yen colored paper – how to make a Sunflower Pop-up Message Card

Here’s an idea for a popup card that blooms into a three-dimensional sunflower when opened.

The sunflower’s yellow color gives a bright, cheerful impression and lifts the viewer’s spirits.

The mechanism that makes the flower gently rise the moment the card is opened adds a great element of surprise, making it perfect for birthdays, thank-you notes, and summer greetings.

By playing with the card’s color and the shape of the petals, and decorating with items like washi (masking) tape, you can enjoy creating your own original design.

Why not make a special, handmade card that conveys warmth?

Swaying and sparkling, Orihime and Hikoboshi

[Craft] Orihime and Hikoboshi / Tanabata Decorations

Here’s how to make a gently swaying, sparkling Orihime and Hikoboshi.

Get ready a paper cup, construction paper, color markers, scissors, an awl, origami paper, and curling ribbon.

Draw Orihime and Hikoboshi on construction paper, make crowns with origami paper, cut them out, and paste them together.

Use the awl to make a hole in the center of the paper cup’s bottom, thread the curling ribbon through, and create a hanging loop.

Sketch sleeve shapes on the paper cup, then cut along the lines with scissors to form a three-dimensional kimono shape.

Attach the faces to the finished kimono.

Stick star shapes onto the cut curling ribbon, then adhere the ribbon to the inside of the paper cup.

Your Tanabata decoration—perfect for hot summer days—is complete!

[Origami] Tanabata: How to Make a Bamboo Wreath

A lifelike sunflower made with origami

A realistic sunflower made from origami. Budget-friendly handmade craft. Use-what-you-have crafting [paper flower] [sunflower] [origami] [DIY]

Why not try making a sunflower out of origami that looks just like the real thing? All you need are yellow and brown origami paper, wire, tissue paper, and green floral tape.

First, cut the yellow origami into four equal squares and shape them into petals.

Next, cut the brown origami into thin strips and make fine slits along them.

Roll up the brown strips to create the sunflower’s center, then glue the petals onto a backing and attach the center to form the flower head.

Wrap tissue paper and green tape around the wire to make the stem, attach the flower, and you’ll have a sunflower that looks just like the real thing.

It’s full of summer charm, making it perfect as a gift or for room decor.

Sunflower weaving with paper plates

Paper plate flower weaving: sunflower, using plastic ribbon (suzuran tape) and yarn ❤︎ Paper plate flower weaving/sunflower/Paper craft ❤︎ #836

We’d like to introduce a sunflower weaving craft made using a paper plate and raffia tape.

First, use parchment paper to shape a flower template, then place it over a paper plate and draw guidelines.

Cut along the lines with scissors, and paint the plate with acrylic paints in sunflower colors.

Wrap twine across the gaps between the petals, then use that as the warp and weave the raffia tape through like a loom.

You’ll end up with a colorful, summery, and cheerful sunflower.

Since it uses easily accessible materials, it’s also recommended as a recreation activity in senior care facilities.
