Kitchen paper bouquet
@niconico_mama It looks just like the real thing! 😍✨ You know how you go for a walk, pick some flowers, and then they wilt… such a common thing, right?? But with this, you can easily make flowers that look real and never wilt! 😍✨ The material is—believe it or not—kitchen paper!! Color it with water-based markers, shape it into a flower, then spritz it with water 💕 And in no time, your flower is done! By the way, you don’t even have to cut it into circles—just crumple it up as a square and secure it with a pipe cleaner, and that works too 😆👍 They look cute as room decor, and they’d make a great Mother’s Day gift next month… 😍♥️ Dads of the world! Please make these with your kids 🥹✨ ♥️ ๛ก(ー̀ωー́ก) <If you make it, Mom will be happy> Try making them in lots of colors and have fun! 😊💕 —————————— Here’s what I used: • Kitchen paper (paper towels) • Pipe cleaners • Water-based markers • Scissors • Spray bottle and water If you don’t have a spray bottle, you can use a paintbrush with water or a dropper! —————————— ☆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━☆ Thank you always for your comments and likes 😊 Some people even tell me, “I made it!” and that makes me super happy ☺️♥️ I’m looking forward to seeing what you all play with and make 😆✨✨ ☆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━☆Mother’s Day craft#PapercraftHandmade#Handmade Mother's Day 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.
Take this opportunity to give it a try!
Balloon carnation

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!
Wreath making
Gifts of appreciation from young children are special.
It’s heartwarming to feel their growth and think, “They can do this now!” Wreaths made with construction paper, origami paper, and ribbons are projects even small children can try, making them perfect Mother’s Day presents.
Try different techniques like stamping—creating shapes with clay or paper, then applying paint and stamping—or torn-paper collage, where you tear colorful origami and paste it down.
You can also decorate with pretty ribbons using a simple lacing technique.
Let’s make a one-of-a-kind wreath!
Memory Apron
@tomo_mama_ It's not too late! This is perfect for Mother's Day!#Mother's DayPresentHandmadeHandmade giftchildrenParentingWith childrenphoto#My parenting
♪ Original Song – My Parenting 🐰 – My Parenting 🐰
Photos of cherished memories pop out from the pocket! Here’s an idea for a Memory Apron.
It’s an adorable Mother’s Day gift we highly recommend.
You’ll need photos or drawings, paper plates, construction paper, and decorative materials like pom-poms and ribbons.
It’s great that you can get all the supplies at a 100-yen shop, too.
Using paint to dab and stamp color onto the apron is a fun part of the process!

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.
Bag Stamp Carnation
https://www.tiktok.com/@lion.sensei_hoiku/video/7357176843968990472Beautiful unique patterns! Here are some ideas for bag-stamped carnations.
A bag stamp is a technique where you inflate a plastic bag with air, tie the opening, and use it to stamp paint onto paper.
It’s great because you can easily try it with materials you already have at home or in the classroom.
It’s also fascinating how the tied bag’s texture creates petals that look just like carnations! For the leaves and stems, finishing them with crayons or colored pencils will add a nice touch.
Easy carnations with tissue paper

A perfect Mother’s Day craft: carnations made with tissue paper! Paste a doily onto a circle cut from construction paper.
Tape a green chenille stem (pipe cleaner) on top to make the carnation stem, and glue on narrow leaf shapes cut from construction paper.
Crumple red or pink tissue paper into small balls and stick them onto the doily.
Fold the construction paper base so it forms a bouquet shape, and your tissue-paper carnation bouquet is complete! Finish by adding a ribbon or writing a message in the open space.
