This is a hydrangea calendar made with paint that makes the process fun.
Prepare a calendar and paint hydrangeas on it.
Instead of just painting, try using various items—for example, a toilet paper roll or cotton swabs.
By dabbing paint with the tips to make fine touches, you can recreate the hydrangea’s distinctive rounded form.
I hope you enjoy the tactile feeling of tapping and watching the paint transfer onto the paper.
Once it’s finished, adding origami leaves and the like could make it even more interesting.
June calendar collage
This is a collage-style calendar that makes it easy to add originality.
In this idea, you’ll attach various items to the calendar.
For example, masking tape to decorate the borders, or origami hydrangeas and snails to evoke the season.
Have fun deciding what to place where on the calendar.
It’s nice that you can easily create a calendar that’s uniquely your own.
If you use a calendar with plenty of blank space, you’ll have more room for collaging.
June 3D Calendar
Let’s try making a three-dimensional calendar with a strong presence.
In this idea, you fold three-dimensional motifs out of origami or construction paper and attach them to the calendar.
Now, the tricky part is deciding what to make.
Just as one suggestion, how about hydrangeas, umbrellas, raindrops, or water droplets? They can capture that damp, June atmosphere.
Alternatively, you could fold shirts or ties, inspired by laundry that just won’t dry.
Choose a theme you like and give it a try.

A calendar made with stamps
If you want to create a sophisticated-looking calendar, try using stamps.
For example, you can stamp numbers to build a calendar from scratch, or add stamps like hydrangeas to an existing calendar.
It gives a handmade feel while still looking grown-up.
Plus, you don’t have to draw illustrations or fold origami, so it’s easy to get started.
First, try looking for stamps that suit June.

Their simple steps make it easy to achieve beautiful designs.
Just by stamping, you can enjoy colors and shapes without straining your hands, so it’s easy to get started.
Plus, the finished calendar is practical—and seeing it every day is sure to brighten your mood!
A snail calendar at the mall
This is a snail calendar that’s perfect for the rainy season.
First, prepare two pipe cleaners.
Curl the tip of each one, then twist them together.
You’ll start to see the snail’s eyes take shape.
Next, roll one end of a pipe cleaner into a spiral to create the shell.
After that, add more pipe cleaners to give the body some thickness, and you’re done.
Stick it onto a calendar to enjoy a rainy-season vibe.
It’s also nice to draw hydrangeas and other illustrations first, then place the snail on top.
Brush lettering art
Introducing a brush-lettering calendar featuring June motifs.
Gather a water brush, postcards, drawing paper, and pastels, and let’s get started.
On the postcard, use the water brush to draw hydrangeas and teru teru bozu, creating rainy-season illustrations to enjoy.
Using a water brush and pastels gives the artwork a soft, gentle feel.
If you write the dates with a white brush pen, the letters will gradually stand out, making the process even more enjoyable.
Setting a theme may also make it easier to create your illustrations.
