You can scrunch up, tear, strip, mold, roll, glue, and perform almost any other crafting move on tissue paper! That’s why I call the tissue paper the “MOST VERSATILE material for crafting. Got colored ones? That’s the icing on the cake.
So, in this week’s summer craft discussion, I’m gonna share these NEW tissue paper craft activities. Summarizing the types, I got a stained art, 3D torn tissue art, scrunched-tissue flowers, and models made from layers of tissue cutouts, and much more.
As for the themes, I did not impose any restriction this time, including spring, summer, and general themes. You will also learn how to make tissue paper decorations for birthdays, parties, Luau, 4th of July, and many more. I especially recommend the rocket party favours and garlands.
Suggestion #1: Making a Tissue Paper Garland With Tassels
By folding and fringing standard sheets of tissue, DIY this colorful, quick, and affordable tissue paper tassel garland. Recommended especially for Cinco de Mayo, birthdays, decorating the mantel, or otherwise.
You can customize by changing the thickness of the fringe strips or the colors of the Washi tape. You can string your tassels onto a cord or twine. The recommended spacing is about 5 inches.
Suggestion #2: Mod Podge Vase With Tissue Paper
Let’s upcycle a glass vase and DIY this gradient vase decoration using tissue paper and Mod Podge. Tissue paper is fragile when wet, so handle it carefully when brushing Mod Podge over the top so the pieces don’t get torn. That’s why the designer recommends having experience with Mod Podge, as well as using tissue paper, to avoid wrinkling of tissue paper.
Requires four shades of blue or tissue paper that range from the darkest color at the base and blend up into the lighter shades. Hold white flowers inside it or make a seashell decoration with starfish, rocks, and pearls, too.
Suggestion #3: Paper Roll Hyacinth Flower Craft For Kids
April is here! So, DIY these Purr-fect tissue paper hyacinth flower pots with the KIDS following the easy and simple method. I bet tissue paper is the perfect material for making such a flower, and kids will have so much fun tearing the tissue paper.
It is kinda forgiving and low-cost project that also needs a recycled tissue paper roll. I recommend cutting the paper towel roll, so making one is faster, and they are engaged. Will be the best indoor decoration for this SPRING!
Suggestion #4: Tissue Paper Sunflower Craft
On a FREE printable template, make this ELEGANT and PUFFY sunflower art by gluing scrunched-up balls of tissue paper. This hands-on activity will be MUCH FUN for KIDS than the torn paper art card.
I actually did imagine this type of art before, and ends up 3D. It can even be made using recycled gift wrap. Have some crinkled paper? Try this art for summer!
Suggestion #5: Luau Tissue Paper Pineapple Craft
This DIY pineapple centerpiece is a clever way to decorate for a Hawaiian luau. With that said, it will let you recycle old soda cans. Using a Cricut machine, you cut and score yellow paper to wrap around a can, which makes a 3D diamond pattern on the can.
Green cardstock is used to craft the pineapple’s crown. The template for the crown, as well as the 3D diamond pattern, is available to download. You will also learn the tool instructions to score the print for the yellow part.
Suggestion #6: DIY Tissue Paper Rainbow Craft
This tissue paper rainbow table wreath looks just so lively! The core idea to craft this art wreath is to apply the tissue paper squares soaked in glue on a rainbow drawing using an unsharpened pencil.
Just wrap the 2cm by 2cm tissue paper cutouts around the pencil, dip in glue, and attach. An 18″ x 24″ drawing paper will make a kinda big rainbow that is also quick to complete. You will need 6 colors of tissue paper!
Suggestion #7: Easy Paper Ice Cream Ornaments
Prepare these “Summer Memory” ice cream cone ornaments for your Christmas Tree using just brown paper bags and colored tissue paper. Also make irresistible gift toppers and summer birthday garland.
To make them, roll semicircles of brown paper into cones and apply hot glue. Then, crumple tissue paper, sew and stack to make scoops, and put over the cone.
Suggestion #8: Rocket Party Favors Craft
You can tear up the tissue paper easily, and that’s the idea behind this craft. That is to make a CLEVER and FUN rocket party favor that uses patterned scrapbook paper, baker’s twine, and white tissue paper.
Features a rocket topper and a fringed tissue paper tail that can be pulled to let the candies poop out. Craft one for birthdays or the 4th of July with a relevant pattern and color on the book paper.
Suggestion #9: Tissue Paper Hot Air Balloon Craft
The Glued Tissue Paper coloring method is undoubtedly the MOST appealing. The partially overlapped squares of different colors look so UNIQUE and BRIGHT. This DIY hot air balloon birthday decoration also features a balloon entirely covered by tissue paper squares.
Made using a balloon, an ice cream cup, polka straws, and colored tissue papers in purple, yellow, and blue. You must work on an inflated balloon, so it might be a little tricky at first!
Suggestion #10: Butterfly Suncatcher Craft
This colorful butterfly suncatcher requires a black cardstock frame and tissue paper in many colors to make a stained glass butterfly. To make it, you first cut a butterfly from the FREE printable template and place it onto a sticky sheet of contact paper.
You then fill the open wing sections with small tissue paper scraps and seal the entire craft with a second clear layer.
