Cute paper lantern made with origami
Perfect for decorating summer festivals and events! Here are some cute lantern ideas made with origami.
When it comes to summer events, we think of summer festivals and evening cool-off gatherings.
How about decorating the venue with creations made by children? This time, let’s make adorable lanterns using origami.
You’ll need origami paper in your favorite colors, black origami paper, glue, scissors, chenille stems (pipe cleaners), and tape.
The round, plump shape is so cute, isn’t it? Making them in the children’s favorite colors will make it even more exciting.
Summer Sunflowers
Let’s make a summer sunflower.
Prepare by gluing yellow and orange origami paper together so that the colored sides face outward.
Fold the paper in half and crease firmly, then open it up and continue folding while aligning with the center.
Fold each corner inward, then fold the left and right sides along the center line of the folded section.
Open the folded section while lifting it up, and keep folding the tucked parts to form the sunflower shape.
Finish by fitting a piece of brown origami, folded for the center, into the middle of the completed sunflower.
Give this summer sunflower a try!

Perfect for summer festivals! Yo-yo
Let’s make a festival-style water yo-yo using a single sheet of origami paper.
Fold the paper in half into a square twice, then unfold it and fold each corner inward toward the center.
After folding one section outward, tuck each corner inside to form the shape.
Finally, make a small cut with scissors to create the yo-yo’s mouth/opening, and you’re done.
Add patterns, round stickers, or drawings to create your own original yo-yo! Make colorful yo-yos and liven up the festival.
Easy Origami Eggplant
Let me introduce a delicious-looking eggplant made of origami—perfect for summer vegetables.
Prepare one sheet each of purple and light purple origami and let’s get started.
Fold the light purple sheet to create the base of the eggplant.
Partway through, cut the dark purple origami into a smaller square and glue it onto the light purple sheet—this is the key step.
That part will become the eggplant’s calyx.
Keep making sharp creases as you shape the eggplant.
Once it’s finished, it’s also fun to draw an eggplant field on poster paper and stick on the completed eggplants to enjoy with the children.
Fireworks made from scrap stamping
Let me introduce a super fun stamping firework craft using recycled materials.
Get a toilet paper roll, paint, and aluminum foil ready, and let’s make it! Use scissors to cut thin vertical slits into one end of the toilet paper roll, then flare the strips outward.
Squeeze some paint onto the aluminum foil, and dab the cut end of the roll into the paint.
Stamp it onto construction paper to create beautiful fireworks.
Layering a few colors can make the fireworks even more striking.
Stamping on black construction paper is recommended!
fluffy shaved ice
Let me introduce fluffy shaved ice that looks delicious, too.
Put cotton and food coloring into a bag and mix them to dye the cotton.
It might be fun to imagine what flavor you’re making as you go.
Stick double-sided tape onto the shaved-ice base you made, then attach the cotton.
The key is to layer it on loosely to create a fluffy, voluminous look.
Dissolve paint and glue in water to mimic condensed milk, and drizzle it over the shaved ice.
Your tasty-looking shaved ice is complete!
Summer and Animals
Here are some July wall display ideas perfect for the hot summer, featuring summer motifs and animals.
With classic summer treats like shaved ice, rhinoceros beetles, and watermelon, the display really gives off a summery vibe and looks delicious.
By adding animals around them, the wall display gains a sense of story.
Try making shaved ice in different flavors to increase the variety.
It’s also a great idea to create a summer-festival-like display by incorporating elements like rhinoceros beetles, watermelon, fans, and food stalls to capture the summer atmosphere.
Setting a clear theme for the display can make it more concrete and easier to create.
