Origami rose and cat card

Adorable characters that kids will love! Here are ideas for an origami rose and cat card.
Animal motifs are always popular with children! This time, let’s make a cute cat card where a kitty peeks out from a bouquet of roses.
You’ll need origami paper, scissors, a pen, and round stickers.
It’s nice to use origami in each child’s favorite colors or colors they imagine.
Take this opportunity to give it a try!
A pop-up card with a bouquet that sprouts up

When you lift the ribbon on the bouquet, a character pops out from among the flowers! The glamorous bouquet and delightful mechanism will further heighten the excitement of children celebrating their graduation from kindergarten.
Cut a vertical slit in the center of the bouquet’s base, then set a character with a tab attached to its back.
Thread the tab through the slit so it appears on the surface, and glue on the ribbon to complete the mechanism! For the flowers, it’s best to punch out identical shapes using a craft punch.
Choose the flower colors to match the character that appears, creating a unified look.
