[Mother's Day] Projects to Make with Kids! A Collection of Carnation Craft Ideas

Here are some ideas for making carnations to share your feelings on Mother’s Day.

We’ve gathered a wide variety, from projects using familiar materials like origami paper, kitchen paper, and felt, to unique creations such as balloons and pop-up cards.

There are options suited to each age group, from three- to five-year-olds, so everyone can enjoy making them.

Gifts handcrafted together with children become special treasures that won’t fade with time.

Use this as a reference and enjoy making heartfelt gifts! Note: In this article, items made by children are treated as “works,” so we use the term “seisaku” (制作) in the text.

A heartfelt message is always a delight, no matter what it is.

If it’s handmade with care and filled with gratitude, the joy of receiving it is all the greater.

There are many occasions for sending cards.

In spring, we have Mother’s Day.

Let’s make a glamorous pop-up card for Mother’s Day that bursts into full-bloom cherry blossoms the moment it’s opened.

To make it easy for young children, have teachers or adults prepare the flowers in advance.

Also, starch glue is easier to handle for sticking the pieces together.

The layered cherry blossoms expanding in three dimensions look wonderfully luxurious.

Bouquet made with bag stamps

Let’s have fun with pom-pom stamping! Here are some bouquet ideas you can make with bag stamps.

A bag stamp is a simple stamp that uses the knot of an air-filled bag to dab paint onto paper with a light bouncing motion.

It’s safe and recommended even for infant classes, since the fluffy bag makes stamping gentle! This time, let’s make carnations using red and pink paint.

Try drawing the stems and leaves with crayons to create a warm, cozy feel.

Stick them on your fridge or whiteboard as decoration! Here are some ideas for flower magnets.

They’re also great as Mother’s Day gifts! You’ll need white drawing paper cut into circles, tissue paper for flowers, two large and two small felt circles, two plastic bottle caps, two magnets, craft glue, vinyl tape, scissors, and glue sticks.

If you draw a portrait of your mom and give it together with the flower magnet, it’s sure to convey your appreciation.

Mother’s Day Photo Frame

This photo frame is adorned with carnations, the must-have flowers for Mother’s Day.

The carnations are simple—just crumpled tissue paper—so focus on achieving softness and a three-dimensional look.

Then decorate the center of a paper plate with finely cut design paper, and arrange the carnations while considering color balance to finish.

It’s also recommended to add leaf decorations that highlight the carnations and to cut the photo to fit the person so that the base decorations remain visible.

[Side Dish Cup] Mother’s Day Carnation

Let's try making handmade carnations for Mother's Day!

Let’s make carnations for Mother’s Day using bento cup liners! First, cut the wire to a suitable length and curl one end into a loop.

Thread several cup liners onto the wire from the opposite end, then shape them so they look like petals.

Wrap the uncurled end of the wire around the bottom of the cup liners to secure them, then twist the rest of the wire to form the stem.

Your carnation is complete—tie a ribbon or add other cute touches to finish it off.

Try giving it not only to your mom, but also to anyone you want to show your appreciation to.
