Cute and easy: a dandelion decoration made with colored tissue paper

Spring is the season when all kinds of flowers begin to bloom, and their colorful, soft appearance really highlights the warmth of the season.

Among these classic spring blossoms, this decoration features dandelions made from tissue paper to evoke a springtime feel.

For the flower heads, stack sheets of tissue paper, fold them in an accordion, tie them together, snip cuts into the edges, then fan them out to shape.

For stems and leaves, origami or construction paper is recommended—use different materials from the flower parts to emphasize the flower’s softness.

A key point is the versatility: you can stick them onto a background or attach strings and hang them, allowing for a variety of display styles.

Plump StrawberryNEW!

Paper strawberry decorations! Easy how-to make them. How to make paper strawberry decorations. [Tsukuru-mon]

Spring is the season that overcomes winter and brings abundant harvests, and we find more chances to see colors that feel warm.

This decoration features a strawberry motif that evokes the warmth of spring, layered with leaves for a colorful look.

The key is to crease both the leaf parts and the strawberry parts firmly—create them so they have a three-dimensional feel, then layer them together.

Treat each layered strawberry-and-leaf as a single set, and enhance the sense of depth by experimenting with how you arrange those sets.

Balancing with the background is also an important point for conveying warmth.

pansy

[Craft Idea] Pansies with origami (March–April, spring) (with template) (flower craft) (activities for seniors, day service, occupational therapy OT, childcare) (wall decoration) (easy original creation) (DIY)

Among ornamental plants, the ever-popular pansy makes a perfect wall decoration to create a spring-like atmosphere.

Fold a rectangular sheet of origami paper into eighths, then cut out circles or heart shapes to make the petals.

Layer these pieces and glue them together to form a vibrant pansy.

If you add patterns in a darker color of origami at the center of the petals, you can recreate the pansy’s distinctive coloration.

Use thick paper as a base and attach the petals.

Cut green origami into jagged shapes for the leaves and arrange them around the pansies.

By placing the petals and leaves separately, you can evoke a spring garden full of blooming pansies.

Why not make a spring-themed wall decoration in your favorite colors, such as yellow or pink?

Here’s an idea for representing the bodies of Hina dolls using accordion-folded origami.

Use two sheets of origami paper per doll.

First, accordion-fold a plain sheet, overlap the sides, and fold it in half.

Fold the second sheet the same way, then insert it into the first sheet and glue them together.

It’s recommended to use patterned paper for the second sheet.

Once the body is complete, attach a face and decorations made from construction paper, and hang it from a display stand made with a thick straw and kite string to finish.

For an even more festive look, you can also make and hang bonbori lanterns and hishi-mochi rice cakes.
