Winter is still raging on our doorstep and we are dreaming of warm spring days. With the next DIY ideas you can make the apartment shine and are guaranteed to create a happy atmosphere - even if it is cloudy and cold outside. We'll explain to you how you can make yellow daffodils.
Making daffodils: DIY idea with egg carton
The first craft idea is for a 3D picture with egg carton. For the picture you need cardboard, 6 egg cartons, tempera or acrylic paints, scissors, brushes, glue. Proceed as follows:
1. First, use a craft knife or sharp scissors to cut straight off the 6 tips of the egg carton. Then take a flat brush and paint the tips inside and outside with yellow paint.
2. Stamp a piece of cardboard with the freshly painted tips. This creates the outline of the daffodil, which you then also have to paint. Finally, set the tips aside and let them dry completely. Then you can cut the edge.
3. Glue the tips (cut edge facing upwards) onto the cardboard so that3D flower motifs are created. Then paint the flower stems and the vase with well-covering paint. The picture is finished.
Flowers made of construction paper and cupcake cases
The next idea is also super simple and is great for elementary school children. You can also design the cute paper flowers as greeting cards. The necessary materials are as follows:
- Construction paper in yellow, orange, green
- Pipe cleaners in orange and yellow
- yellow paper cupcake cases
- scissors, glue
- green pipe cleaners for the stem (suitable replacement: drinking straws, popsicle sticks)
Craft instructions:
1. First draw a flower petal on the yellow cardboard and then cut it out. Then transfer the template onto a sheet of construction paper and assemble the daffodil flowers from five yellow leaves.
2. Glue a yellow cupcake liner in the middle. For the stamen, cut out three or four pieces of pipe cleaners.
3. For the flower stems, you can use drinking straws, green pipe cleaners, or green painted popsicle sticks.
4. If desired, you can label the petals.
Spring decoration with flowers made from iron beads
Spring flowers that never wilt and always enchant with their bright colors? This is probably every craft enthusiast’s dream. In the next instructions you will learn how you can make flowers yourself from beads. You need the following materials:
- Iron-on beads in yellow and orange
- green crepe paper
- Floral wire, green
- Scissors and universal glue
This is how the beautiful spring flowers are made:
1. Place the iron-on beads on a rectangular pegboard. Follow the template to create the motifs in yellow and orange.
2. Place a piece of baking paper on the pegboard and iron the motifs in place. Then let the motifs cool down briefly, but remove them from the pegboard while they are still warm. Now bend the leaves into the desired shape and put the flowers together.
3. For the stems, cut floral wire and cut the green leaves out of crepe paper. Now all that remains is to glue the details together with hot glue or universal glue.

Make spring decorations out of newspaper and felt
The next DIY idea is for a cool garland made of newspaper and felt. You will need newspaper, yellow felt, scissors and cord/string. When crafting, proceed as follows:
Cut a square measuring 7cm x 7cm. Fold it diagonally into a triangle and then fold it again to make a smaller triangle. Then fold the two corners towards the middle and cut out the protruding edges and the tip. Now unfold the square and a flower should emerge. Cut a circle out of felt. Take a ruler, mark the center of the circle and then draw its radius. Cut the drawn line. This way you can bend the circle into a small cone. Then glue it to the center of the paper flower.
Make several flowers like this, then cut the twine and attach the flowers. The result is a colorful and cheerful decoration in vintage style.
Make your own soap bubbles
The last idea guarantees not only crafting fun, but also playing fun. You need: tire cleaner in green and yellow, plastic ring in orange, plastic beads in green, pompom in orange, hot glue and scissors. When crafting, do the following:

2. Cut the stem from the green pipe cleaner and thread the plastic beads on it. Finally, attach the pompom. NowAll you need is soap bubble waterand the children can play with it.
