Love at First Sight – Masato Funatsu
Let’s get everything you need at the 100-yen shop! Here’s an idea for a photo frame that looks like mosaic tiles.
A handmade photo frame is a wonderful way to convey the giver’s heartfelt feelings as a thoughtful gift.
Original designs created by children add a special touch and will become a keepsake for parents as well.
Attach photos or portraits to a clear file or laminating film, then decorate around them with transparent origami paper stuck onto nano tape.
Finish it off with a ribbon, and you’re done!
Bouquet made with bag stamps
https://www.tiktok.com/@lion.sensei_hoiku/video/7357176843968990472Let’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.
pen holder
How about a practical pen holder as a Family Day gift? Parents surely need stationery for various paperwork.
It would be great to have a place to store all those supplies together.
Use waste materials like paper tubes or milk cartons as the base, and decorate the outside.
Techniques like wet-on-wet painting, spattering, or marbling work well, too.
Add some masking tape for a cute finish, wrap it up, and it’s done! It’s a gift that conveys children’s feelings of “Thank you, as always.”
Handprint photo frame
This photo frame incorporates handprint stamps into a paper plate decoration to highlight the memories captured in the photo.
By choosing handprints from around the same time as the photo, you can use it as a way to look back and remember how small their hands were then.
The color of the handprint should match the design and decorations of the paper plate, and because it’s a bold accent, place it with the overall balance in mind.
It’s a photo frame you’ll want to make regularly, as if watching over your child’s growth.
Surprise accessory case
Let’s make a slightly surprising gift where a flower pops out when you open a paper cup.
Have the children freely decorate the two paper cups.
Washi tape and stickers are handy to have.
Next, make the flowers to go inside using tissue (flower) paper.
Adjust the tasks according to the children’s ages.
Create a spring with construction paper and attach it to the bottom of the paper cup, and you’re good to go.
When it opens with a pop and the pretty flowers spring out, parents are sure to be delighted.

Let’s make it with clay! Here are some ideas for a cupcake memo stand.
Turn a practical memo holder into an adorable cupcake shape using clay.
Just spotting your cupcake memo stand will warm your heart every time! All you need are paper clay, clips, and beads.
The beads will be used as decorative toppings, so choosing your favorite colors and shapes will get kids excited, too.
Give it a try!

glasses stand
How about giving a glasses stand as a gift that parents who wear glasses can use? You can easily make one with just a single sheet of origami paper, so focusing on decorations might be a good way to add originality.
By writing a message or attaching ornaments, you can create a charming look filled with affection.
Since origami alone can be quite light, adding something as a weight will make it a more practical glasses stand.
