Let’s make carnations using paper towels and a straw.

Prepare two sheets of paper towel, draw patterns with water-based pens, then mist water over them to create a bleeding effect.

The patterns will blur away, so anything is fine! Once the paper towels are dry, cut them into quarter-size pieces, stack them, and accordion-fold.

Tie the center with a rubber band, cut both ends into zigzags, then separate the layers one by one to form the petals.

Hold a straw to the base, secure it together with several petals using masking tape to make the stem, and you’ve got a perfect Mother’s Day gift!

Make a lot—they’re so cute! Origami carnations

@levwell_hoikushi

For a Mother’s Day gift ✨ Origami carnations 💐 Lebawell Nursery Teacher, classroom craft, May craft, for 5-year-olds, Mother’s Day origami, Mother’s Day craft

♪ Original Song – levwell_hoikushi – Lebawell Nursery Teacher [Official]

Just combine identical parts! This is a carnation made with origami.

To make one carnation, you’ll need four 7.5 cm sheets of origami paper.

Use three for the petals and the remaining one for the leaf.

First, fold the paper into a triangle.

Next, overlap the left and right sides to fold it in half, crease well, and open it.

Fold the left and right corners up to meet the top corner and crease; then, using those creases as guides, fold up the bottom edge on both the left and right from the center line.

Turn the paper over, and this time fold both side edges in to meet the center line.

That completes one part.

Stack and glue three parts together, then attach the leaf made with the same steps underneath to finish the carnation.

Change colors and patterns to make a bouquet—perfect for a gift.

Carnation Coaster

If you’re considering a practical gift, how about carnation coasters? Make the carnations as paper cutouts using origami, then sandwich them between the lid of a clear cup to turn them into coasters.

Adding sparkly roll stickers around the edge will make them look even more festive.

They’re very easy to make yet look great, and because they can be used every day, they’re perfect for gifts.

The impression changes depending on the cutout design, making it an idea kids will want to make over and over.

It’s also a fun way to practice using scissors.

Let’s use a paper cup to make a cute tulip trinket holder.

First, fold a green rectangular sheet of construction paper lengthwise in half.

Make cuts along the fold, then slightly offset and glue the layers together.

Attach this to the side of the paper cup to create the leaves.

Next, glue on the flower pieces you’ve cut from construction paper, add a chenille stem as a handle, and you’re done.

If you want the flower to look more vibrant, layer patterned origami paper on top.

Place a letter or a small gift in the cup and deliver it to someone special.

How to make an origami carnation

[Gift Craft] How to Make an Origami Carnation (Mother’s Day / May Craft) [Easy / Origami] Handmade Gift – Cute

Here’s an easy origami project.

In this idea, you’ll layer two sheets of origami paper to make the carnation’s bloom.

First, fold the paper in half twice to form a square.

Next, fold it into a triangle, then fold it narrower by aligning the triangle’s side with the base.

Now use scissors to cut off the excess at the top and trim the cut edge into a jagged pattern.

Snip about 5 mm off the bottom corner, which will be the center of the flower, then unfold it.

Make another piece the same way and layer them to create frilly petals.

Alternate mountain and valley folds along the creases to shape it.

Attach a stem and leaves made from another sheet of origami paper, and you’re done!

A flower card that even 2-year-olds can make!

[Fold, Paste, and Draw] From around age 2! Mother's Day Craft | #childcareideas #craft #diy #mothersdaygift

Here’s a craft idea where you can fold, paste, and enjoy some drawing too.

All you need is construction paper cut into teardrop shapes.

First, paste one piece flat onto a backing sheet.

Then fold the remaining two pieces in half and paste them on the left and right to complete a spring-like tulip.

Draw in the stem and leaves with crayons.

If the child is too young to use scissors, an adult should prepare the teardrop-shaped pieces in advance.

Prepare a variety of colors—red, blue, yellow, and more—and you’ll have a gorgeous flower field.

It also makes a great gift from children to their parents or guardians.

Massage voucher

[Handmade Gift] Father’s Day Dress Shirt Card—with a Massage Coupon Inside

It may be a classic choice, but massage coupons are a surprisingly well-received gift! Parents who are busy every day with work and housework often can’t make it to a massage even when they’re feeling worn out.

With a massage coupon, they can easily refresh at home when they need it.

Just write “Massage Coupon” on any paper you like and note the duration—it’s simple to make, so why not give it a try? It also conveys your wish for your parents to stay healthy and helps strengthen family bonds.
