A hanging ornament with dancing butterflies
This is a butterfly mobile you can make using four sheets of A4 copy paper or colored construction paper, nylon thread (fishing line), vinyl tape or clear tape, plus scissors and a pencil.
By using the first template you create, you can cut out many butterflies of the same shape, which makes it easy to produce a lot at once.
Attach the butterflies to the thread with tape, or poke holes with a needle and thread them through.
The gently swaying paper butterflies look beautiful.
If you use construction paper in various colors, it becomes colorful and even more eye-catching!
Hanging ornaments of bush warblers and plum blossoms
How about an elegant and cute mobile that incorporates the tastes of plums, camellias, bush warblers, and spring? You can easily make the flower shapes by stacking and folding paper cut into 10 cm × 10 cm squares and turning them into cutouts.
It’s nice that you can create variations simply by using different colors—red for camellias and pink for cherry blossoms.
If you’re attaching the finished mobile to a wall, find places to hook it on the left and right, attach six clips to a horizontal string, and loop the vertical strings to hang them.
It’s also great that you don’t need to make holes in the wall.
Tissue-paper butterfly
Why not try making fluffy butterflies using soft tissue paper? If you use a template, you can easily make them in bulk.
Start by creating a butterfly template with dark-colored tissue paper.
Divide the tissue paper into six equal parts and cut out the template with scissors.
Once cut, stick it onto copier paper and make copies.
Stack several sheets of butterfly tissue paper on top of the copied paper, staple around the edges, and then cut them out along with the template.
After cutting, twist a chenille stem (pipe cleaner) around the center of the butterfly paper to finish.
A cute flower made from one sheet of tissue paper
Here’s how to make a cute flower using just one sheet of tissue paper.
First, fold the tissue paper into an accordion.
Then fold it in half.
After folding, round off the edges with scissors.
Staple the center, and gently open up the flower.
Once it’s opened, press down the center to finish.
You can make lots of flowers to decorate a wall, add leaves to make a bouquet, or cut the edges into points to turn it into a dandelion—there are many ways to arrange them, so give it a try!
Flower garland made of felt
It’s a very glamorous and stylish flower garland that’s easy to make—just cut and paste felt.
Felt has a charming, soft texture and comes in a variety of colors, so it’s fun to work with.
First, make a small petal template out of construction paper.
Using that template, cut out lots of felt petals, then fold them slightly and glue them together to finish.
Hang it on a wall or door, or display it like a mobile to lift your bright, springtime mood.
cherry blossom garland
A very delicate and cute cherry blossom garland.
Though it looks glamorous, it’s a paper craft you can make using pastel-colored paper or patterned paper with floral designs.
The cherry blossom silhouettes are made with kirigami; it’s easy if you first make a small flower, layer it over a larger flower, and cut them together.
The spherical elements made by stacking six circular pieces of paper into a 3D shape also become instantly lively when you use patterned paper.
This garland brings the beautiful, colorful blossoms and the feeling of spring indoors.
Weeping cherry blossom arch
Here is an arch of weeping cherry blossoms that you can make using only origami paper and bubble wrap (packing material).
Just set it up at your entrance or room doorway to create a gorgeous, festive look.
The main arch is made simply by rolling up the bubble wrap, but it also looks cute hanging directly from the top of an entrance or window.
First, make one cherry blossom to use as a template.
Once that’s done, connect sheets of origami with double-sided tape to create a continuous chain of blossoms.
After connecting them, place half of the template blossom on top and cut along it to finish.
