Japanese bush warbler

[Made with One Sheet of Origami] Easy and Cute Bush Warbler (Facing Left) Folding Tutorial ◇ Origami Japanese Bush Warbler — Spring Little Bird, Uguisu ◇

‘Hoo-hokekyo!’ You can almost hear the beautiful song of the Japanese bush warbler! Let me show you an idea for making a bush warbler out of origami.

All you need is origami paper, black round stickers, and a white pen.

The bird you’ll make with this idea has a round silhouette that captures the warbler’s charm—so cute! If you also make plum blossoms from origami or construction paper and display them together with your origami warbler, it creates a lovely, atmospheric scene.

Give it a try and have fun making it!

[Hanging Decoration] Fluttering Butterfly Flower-Field Mobile [Spring Craft]

Let’s make it with a paper cup! Here’s an idea for a cute flower-field mobile with fluttering butterflies.

You’ll need a paper cup, scissors, colored construction paper, round stickers, pens, tape, thread, decorative materials, and ribbon.

First, cut six slits evenly around the paper cup.

Open the slits, turn the cup upside down, and round off the tips of the slit sections.

Next, use the colored paper to make butterflies and flowers, and add patterns with round stickers and pens.

Finally, connect the paper cup and the paper motifs with thread, decorate the paper cup, and you’re done!

Make a little snake and go for a spring walk

[Ages 1–2] Let’s go for a walk with the Wiggly Snake!

Here’s a craft to make spring walks even more fun: a wiggly snake! Prepare construction paper, twine, scissors, crayons, glue, and stickers.

Draw on the construction paper with crayons, then add stickers or pieces of cut origami paper.

Using scissors, cut the paper into a spiral snake shape.

If you draw guide marks where you’ll cut, it will be easier.

Attach the twine to the head, and you’re done.

Take your freely wiggling snake for a walk—up, down, left, and right—and have fun!

Sakura mobile made of origami

Hanging Sakura Decorations 🌸 Easy to make with origami ✨ Paper Craft DIY Cherry Blossoms

Here’s an introduction to making a hanging cherry blossom ornament with origami.

You fold it the same way as when making an origami star to create a five-petaled cherry blossom.

Make four blossoms with the same pattern, stack them, and glue them together at the center.

When you gently open it up, the cherry blossom becomes three-dimensional and looks adorable from every angle! The key is to make four identical pieces, so when you cut patterns into the petals, create a template and use it to make four matching petals.

Decorating with clear fishing line or spring-colored yarn will brighten up your room.

Three-dimensional dandelion

Introducing how to make 3D dandelion flowers using origami! Perfect as spring decorations for March and April—why not make some and hang them on your wall? [Tsukuru-mon]

It looks just like the real thing! Here’s an idea for making a 3D dandelion.

You’ll need yellow origami paper, yellow-green origami paper, green origami paper, pink origami paper, scissors, and craft glue.

First, connect strips of yellow origami paper that you’ve cut into long, narrow pieces.

Make 1 mm-wide fringe cuts, then roll it up while applying craft glue; once it’s rolled, the dandelion flower is complete.

After making the stem and leaves with green origami paper, create a frame with the pink origami paper.

If you add some curves and motion to the stem and leaves, it will look even more like a real dandelion.

Strawberry cake made with paper cups

[Kindergarten/Preschool] Spring Craft / Easy / How to Make a Strawberry Cake ♡

The strawberries look so real and delicious.

Let me show you how to make a strawberry cake using a paper cup.

Prepare a paper cup, paints, tissue paper, crayons, red and green construction paper, and glue.

Use the paper cup as the cake base and paint it.

While the paint dries, make the strawberries out of construction paper.

When drawing the center of the strawberries with crayons, I recommend coloring with pink first and then layering white crayon to give it a three-dimensional look.

After gluing the tissue paper onto the paper cup to look like whipped cream, stick the strawberries on top to finish.

It’s also fun to try different colors of tissue paper and paint.

Strawberries made with cotton swab stamps

[Spring Craft] How to Make Strawberries with Cotton Swab Stamps! [Ages 2 and up] (ASMR-style video)

For a spring craft, let’s make bright red, delicious-looking strawberries.

Prepare construction paper, paint, cotton swabs, scissors, and glue.

Cut the construction paper into strawberry shapes, then dip a cotton swab in paint and stamp on the seeds.

If you use a slightly larger amount of paint and thin it well with water first, the seed color will transfer more easily.

Once you glue the calyx to the top of the strawberry, it’s complete.

Cutting origami to decorate around the strawberry or adding washi tape will make it look even more spring-like and festive.
