Teru teru bozu made of flower leis

[Easy] How to Make a Teru Teru Bozu ✨ [Lift Your Spirits 🌈] DIY with 100-Yen Store Hacks

Why not make a colorful teru teru bozu using flower leis from the 100-yen shop? First, cut the connected lei into individual flowers and press them flat with an iron.

Next, cut the flowers into single petals.

Then, use a hot glue gun to attach the petals to a ping-pong ball, which will be the head of the teru teru bozu, and you’re done! The key is to layer the petals in the gaps—two or three rows for a fuller look.

After attaching the petals, be sure to add a cute face with a permanent marker or decorative parts.

The vivid petal colors give this teru teru bozu a bright, cheerful look—as if it could chase the rain away.

Teru teru bozu craft: A childcare worker explains how to make a 3D decoration (for ages 1–5)

Using a paper plate and tissue paper, you can make a cute, gently swaying teru-teru bozu wreath.

Have everyone finish up their pieces into charming works together.
