It’s already quite hot where I live so I’ve been finding myself in the summer mindset, which partially means I want to make crafts with a tropical theme! And what’s more tropical than flamingos? Overall, flamingos seem to be overlooked in kawaii crafting, so I decided to hunt around the internet to round up the best DIYs I could find. (On a personal note, I very much relate to their description of ‘majestically awkward!’)
For a cute and simple project, check out Red Ted Art’s paper flamingo decor. There’s both photo and video tutorial options, which is really convenient. They would be adorable turned into a garland for a party or anything else!
If you’re more of a baker, Aww Sam has a post on how to make this super cute flamingo pool float cake. I haven’t worked with fondant much, but I’d love to try tackling this!
I absolutely cannot leave out RNata’s crochet amigurumi flamingo plush pattern from the list either. It’s hands down one of the all-time cutest flamingo plushes I have seen, and as a bonus it’s also a really inexpensive craft option.
My last pick really reflects my growing curiosity with quilting – Burlap & Blossom Patterns on Etsy has an adorable flamingo quilt block pattern digital pattern available for purchase that is incredibly inexpensive. I want to try my hand at it now…though I really don’t need to be adding anything else to my “crafts I want to try” list!
