Carp streamers made of wood
Here’s an idea that’s perfect for anyone who enjoys DIY woodworking: try making a carp streamer (koinobori) out of wood.
If you’re into DIY, you probably have lots of small scrap pieces piling up at home, right? If you’re not sure what to do with them, try turning them into a koinobori! Combine the pieces like building blocks and glue them together with wood glue.
You can also paint the base and the koinobori pole in any colors you like.
Painting everything in white could look great, and using milk paint to create a softly colored koinobori would surely be adorable too!
