Fireworks decoration with origami and aluminum cups

[Fireworks] Let's make a fireworks decoration using origami and aluminum cups. 🎇

Fireworks are clearly visible in the night sky, rich in color, and stimulating to the eyes.

The light that spreads with a “bang!” brings a refreshing feeling that clears the mind.

This time, why not make such lovely fireworks using origami paper and aluminum cups? Cut and connect the origami, make slits in the aluminum cups, and attach each piece together.

Paste them onto construction paper, add decorations, and it’s done in no time.

Display it in your room and you can admire it anytime—it will soothe your heart.

Watercolor making

How to paint fireworks ✨ #transparentwatercolor #watercolormaking #watercolor #watercolortips #howto #tips #art #illustration #fireworks

We’d like to introduce “Watercolor Making,” an idea for creating gentle, atmospheric wall art that you can enjoy by playing with overlapping bleeds.

By simply using water-diluted paints to let colors bleed and blur, you can express a magical summer fireworks sky.

Tools like brushes, sponges, and tissues can create charming textures, so even those who aren’t confident in drawing can enjoy it.

Each finished piece has a strong presence on its own, and when displayed on a wall, it creates a very soft summer landscape.

It’s a relaxing, hands-on activity that’s both fun and soothing for the heart.
