Onions and asparagus

#12 Torn-paper collage of onions and asparagus

Onions and asparagus

Onions and asparagus, with their distinctive looks, make perfect motifs for torn-paper collage! The combination of brownish onions and green asparagus creates a natural, stylish vibe.

To express the wrinkled onion skin, the trick is to apply plenty of glue and stick the paper down while scrunching it to form creases.

For asparagus, adding purplish tones in addition to green elevates the look.

Using newspapers or ads gives the piece even more character, so give it a try!

Dandelion wall decoration

How to Make Paper Dandelion Wall Hanging (Spring Wall Decoration) – How to Make Paper Dandelion Wall Decor

Dandelion wall decoration

Introducing a remarkably realistic dandelion wall decoration that could be mistaken for the real thing at first glance.

You’ll need yellow, green, and white construction paper, plus wooden coffee stirrers.

First, cut out eight leaf shapes from the green paper.

Then cut another strip of green paper lengthwise, crease along the top edge, and make fine slits below the crease to create the flower stem.

For the flower, cut a long strip of yellow paper, fold it in half, and cut fine slits along the edge without leaving gaps.

Attach the stem to the flower strip, then roll it up from the flower side.

Once glued, gently fluff and open up the stem and flower by hand.

You’ll have a beautiful blossom.

Glue wooden stirrers together in a grid—three vertically and three horizontally—then attach the leaves and flowers to finish.

You can also make seed heads by using white paper for the flowers.

The work involves fine details, but the sense of accomplishment when you finish is exceptional.

Give it a try!

Tulip

#26 Feeling spring excitement? “Bloomed, bloomed!” — Tulip Newspaper Collage #newspaperart #tulip #新聞ちぎり絵

Tulip

Tulips are a classic choice for schoolyard flowerbeds and a spring flower that pairs beautifully with windmills.

Their distinctive petals and leaves make them striking even as torn-paper collages.

For the tulip flower, imagine layering individually torn pieces and shaping them into a rounded form.

Using advertisements is recommended—you can discover unexpected color combinations! The stem is straight, so it should be easy to make.

The leaves are distinctive, so it’s better to include them, but it’s fine to skip them if that’s difficult.

Enjoy creating tulips in your favorite colors!

Rose message stand

[Super Easy] Anyone Can Make Felt Roses * #dayservice #daycare #outpatientrehab #eldercare #seniors #crafts

Rose message stand

Many types of roses bloom from mid-May to early June, and they’re often strongly associated with a sense of glamour.

This craft project lets you capture that glamour by making a rose out of felt and turning it into a message stand.

Cut a slit in the center of a long, narrow piece of felt, tuck one end into the slit to create overall wrinkles, and then roll it up to form the shape of a rose.

Finally, attach the flower and leaf pieces to a stand made by combining a part that holds a message with a cork, and you’re done.

You can create originality by varying the number of roses you attach and the color combinations.
