Origami four-leaf clover

How to Fold a Four-Leaf Clover: Spring Wall Display and Decorations [Origami]

Let’s make a lucky four-leaf clover.

You’ll combine four sheets of origami to create it, but the folding itself is simple, so even children who aren’t used to origami should be able to do it.

Think of it as folding a heart-shaped origami four times.

Once it’s done, you can use it as a wall decoration or paste it onto construction paper as part of a picture.

By the way, the key is to make crisp initial creases.

If they’re misaligned, the whole piece will end up distorted, so be careful.

Candy fits inside too! Cute tulip origami

[Easy Origami] Cute ♡ Tulip | Origami tulip #shorts

Let’s use two sheets of origami paper to make a tulip flower and leaves.

First, we’ll make the flower: fold the origami into a triangle.

Once folded, starting from the center of the base, fold the left and right corners upward at an angle to form the petals.

Turn the paper over, then fold the left, right, and bottom corners into triangles, and the flower is done! Next, for the leaf piece, also start by folding it into a triangle.

Fold the top corner down to meet the base.

Flip the paper top-to-bottom, then fold up each half of the base along the center line to create two leaves.

Turn the paper over, fold up the bottom corner, and it’s complete.

Combine the two parts to make a cute tulip.

You can place sweets inside from the top of the flower.

Pill bug made from a paper plate

Two Types of Paper-Plate Pill Bugs: Spring Wall Display, Craft/DIY Tutorial ❤︎ Paper Plate / Pill Bug / Roly-Poly / For Kids ❤︎ #707

This is a pill bug craft made from a paper plate cut in half that kids love.

First, draw patterns on the paper plate with crayons, then paint over it with black paint.

If you use a white crayon, the patterns will pop out like a resist painting.

After the paint dries, punch evenly spaced holes along the straight edge of the plate, thread short pieces of black chenille stems through, and twist to secure them.

These will be the legs, so attach antennae to the head the same way, then add the facial features to finish.

You can also make a version that curls up and opens out by cutting a round paper plate into six pizza-like slices, punching holes at the corners, and connecting them with split pins.

Fold the paper to align the top, bottom, left, and right edges to make creases, then align the opposite corners to add diagonal creases.

Slightly curl the petals for a softer look.

Glue two identical pieces face-to-face to complete the flower.

Making them in different colors is recommended—it looks more festive when displayed together.
