Handmade, one-of-a-kind cards are delightful! Here are some ideas for interactive cards made with washi tape.

Washi tape is extremely popular with children.

Compared to regular tape or stickers, its adhesive is weaker, so it can be stuck on and peeled off with little force—making it safe for kids to use freely on their own.

By adding interactive elements to an original card, you can bring even more joy and surprise.

Take this opportunity to give it a try!

Let’s make it with paper towels! Here’s an idea for a carnation clip.

Paper towels are highly absorbent paper commonly used in everyday life, especially for cleaning and cooking in the kitchen.

This time, let’s use paper towels to make a carnation clip! The key is to color them with water-based markers or paints and then mist them with water.

The colors will gently spread, creating a beautiful finish.

Give it a try!

The lottery-style recreation element is unique and fun! Here’s an idea for a carnation box.

On red or pink construction paper, like the color of carnations, write messages of gratitude or things you love about Mom.

Each card carries the children’s heartfelt thoughts, making it an idea that could bring tears of affection as she reads them.

It’s also nice to write perks like “Massage Coupon” or “Help Coupon.” Think up the messages together with your child and give them as a gift.

You can even create your own original vivid colors! Here are some ideas for kitchen paper towel bouquets.

Let’s arrange everyday paper towels that are familiar to kids and try making a bouquet.

You’ll need paper towels, water-based markers, a spray bottle, scissors, and pipe cleaners.

After cutting the paper towels into circles and coloring them with water-based markers, shape them with pipe cleaners and spray them with water.

The steps are simple, but the result is beautiful and brilliant.

It’s also nice to add a touch with wrapping.

Made with confetti balloons! Here are some ideas for balloon carnations.

Let’s handcraft a gift with flowers inside a balloon—like the ones you see at theme parks or in party decorations! A confetti balloon is a balloon filled with colorful confetti.

When you inflate it, tiny, colorful confetti and glitter float inside the transparent balloon material, creating a festive and exciting look.

Try making a lovely gift using artificial carnation flowers!

Let’s make it by winding yarn round and round! Here are some bouquet ideas you can create with yarn.

Yarn is a soft thread used for knitting and crafts.

It’s usually made primarily from wool, but there are also varieties made from materials like acrylic, nylon, and cotton.

This time, let’s make cute carnations using yarn.

It’s best if a teacher or guardian handles steps like wrapping the wire and floral tape for safety.

Make a wonderful gift together with your child and give it to someone special!
