A bouquet of carnations made from tissue paper

kimie gangi May wall decoration “A bouquet of carnations made with tissue paper” easy, looks just like the real thing

The red and white flowers look gorgeous and are perfect for a Mother’s Day decoration.

First, stack 4–5 sheets each of red and white tissue paper, fold them in an accordion, and secure the center tightly with a twist tie.

Round the edges to shape the petals, then fan out each sheet to create a soft, three-dimensional carnation.

Next, use green construction paper to make leaves and stems, attach them to the flowers, and stabilize the arrangement.

Gather the flowers and leaves and tie them with a twist tie or ribbon, then layer lace paper around them to finish with a more festive, authentic bouquet.

Adjust the spread and angle of the petals, and alternate red and white to improve the overall balance.

This method is also recommended beyond Mother’s Day: by changing the flower type and colors, you can adapt it for seasonal decorations.

Carnation gift tag

Gift Tags with Paper Carnations [Mother's Day] – DIY How to Make Gift Tags (Paper Carnation)

Carnations, a classic Mother’s Day gift, symbolize pure and deep love.

A gift tag featuring carnations is a lovely item that adds a touch of elegance when attached to a present.

Use a flower-shaped punch to cut colored paper.

Curl the petals with a toothpick to create a three-dimensional shape.

Make three of these, combine them, and attach them to the tag along with leaves.

The flower’s meaning changes with color—red for a mother’s love, pink for gratitude, and white for respect—so think of the recipient as you create your tag.

You can display this anywhere it catches the eye, such as on a desk.

Carnation Toy Poodle

[Easy ✨ Mother’s Day] Carnation puppies made with tissue paper 💕 Toy Poodle [Mother’s Day Gift] All from the 100-yen shop! Mother’s Day carnations & puppies. Origami. Paper crafts

Perfect for gifts! Here’s how to make a carnation toy poodle using simple tissue paper.

Prepare tissue paper in your preferred size and some wire; accordion-fold the tissue paper and secure it with the wire.

Get a basket or any gift container you like, decorate it, and you’re done! The key is to offset the head and mouth carnations.

Insert the ears sideways so each carnation reads as a separate part—that’s the idea.

Shaping the mouth carnation by flattening it horizontally makes it even cuter.

Be sure to give it a try!

Carnations made of felt

[Mother's Day DIY] Carnation made of felt / How to make Felt Carnation

Felt carnations have a warmth that comes from the material itself, don’t they? First, prepare four pieces of felt cut to 6.5 cm × 6.5 cm, and trim the edges into rounded zigzags.

Next, make cuts from the edge to divide it into 16 sections.

Do this for all four pieces.

Start by hooking a wire onto one piece of felt and fold it up tightly.

On the remaining three pieces, make a hole in the center and thread them onto the wire.

As you go, secure each felt piece with a hot glue gun.

Wrap floral tape around the wire, attach leaves made from green felt, and you’re done.

Try making them in various colors!

Papercut Carnation

[Origami] Paper-Cut Flowers (29) Carnation 🌸 carnation origami

This is a papercutting craft to make a carnation.

First, place the origami paper face down with a corner toward you, and fold it into a triangle twice.

Open it once, then fold both sides upward at an angle using the center as the axis, and fold it in half again, aligning the center carefully.

Draw a papercutting pattern on the origami, and carefully cut it out with pinking shears or similar scissors.

Adding slits and patterns will give the petals a three-dimensional look and movement.

When you finally unfold it, it will take on a fluffy carnation shape, which you can display as is or enjoy by attaching it to a card.
