Crafting for spring - A meadow in a lantern

Now you're basically ready to get started. Let's start with an enchanting lantern in springtime garb. Crafting in spring is all about freshness and bright, cheerful colors. So what could be more obvious than creating a meadow in spring, and not just on paper, but in the form of a lantern?

1. Start by taking one of the empty glasses. It always looks pretty in the end when different sized jars have been used. Wrap the bottom section with green fabric. This symbolizes the green of the meadow. Place the fabric around the glass as a single layer and fix it in place with a little hot glue.
2. Cover the second layer with a yellow or light-colored fabric. Use blue fabric underneath the rim. You will end up with three different lengths of fabric on the glass.
3. Now design the meadow. Use small wooden beads for this. You can also use lentil beads. This provides a little more visual variety. Draw small flower stems with the help of a fabric crayon. Glue one or more beads to the top end of each one. How many flowers are possible depends on the size of the jar, of course. Be creative and make a beautiful spring meadow this way.

A colorful wreath of beautiful beads

Flowers are a versatile theme when it comes to spring crafts. They can be created in many different shapes. This time we are making a wreath out of beads. A real eye-catcher that you can make together with your children. The following craft instructions will show you how to do it:

The best craft ideas require very little material! All you need is some craft wire and beads in every imaginable color and shape.

1. Cut three generous ends off the craft wire. This can easily be 1 m in length. Now string the beads alternately to your heart's content. You are welcome to use different sizes and shapes.
2. For more challenging crafts with children who are a little older, the individual strands can be threaded in the same shades of color. Of course, this also looks beautiful.
3. Now knot the ends tightly. Now some skill is required, as you need to weave a wreath from the three individual strands. To do this, lay the three strands next to each other and use the braiding technique. The elements do not need to be tied too tightly, but simply laid loosely. At the end, the whole piece is placed in a circle and you have a colorful wreath - one of the beautiful craft ideas for spring.

1. Start making the body of the bees. To do this, first cut the yellow and black fabric into small strips. Now wrap these alternately around the empty rolls.
2. Glue on two black beads as eyes. The antennae are created by simply attaching two small pieces of chenille wire.
3. Now make the wings. Draw them on the paper and cut out the wings. Fold over a small fold of glue to make it stick better. Use hot glue as this adheres better to the fabric.
