It’s definitely starting to look like spring, with the first flowers and blossoms beginning to bloom. If you’re keen to hurry it along, here’s some free DIYs on YouTube to make your own flowers to brighten up the house or send to friends. They’d also be lovely as Mother’s Day gifts or cards (this Sunday if you’re in the UK & Ireland!)

Hello Origami has a clever Origami Paper Flower Box that could be used as a small gift box as well as a decoration. Since the box part is made with one sheet of paper, you could try using patterned paper for extra fun – most wrapping paper works well for origami.

The Hello Kitty and Friends channel has a super cute and easy DIY flower bouquet using card and pipe cleaners for the flowers and a paper cup for the pot. It includes a free printable for the Mother’s Day design but you could use a paper cup that already has a pattern printed on it, or put them in a vase or glass instead.

And for something very different, try one of the soap carving tutorials at mizutama.soap! These Kanzashi flowers and petals may look intimidating but the tutorial is easy level and you can use any bar of soap for your choice of scent and colour.
