For Seniors: Easy June Calendar Craft Ideas

Making a calendar with eraser stamps

[Eraser stamps] Making a June calendar with a hydrangea stamp

Delicate designs are beautiful! Let’s make a calendar using eraser stamps.

An eraser stamp is a stamp made by carving an eraser.

Carve patterns or letters into an eraser with a carving knife or cutter, apply ink, and press it onto paper! Since erasers are soft and don’t require much force to carve, even beginners can enjoy creating intricate designs.

Let’s complete an atmospheric calendar featuring hydrangeas, a representative flower of June.

Take this opportunity to give it a try!

Pressed Flower Calendar

A simple way to make a pressed flower calendar! Great as a gift, too!!

Introducing a pressed flower calendar that captures seasonal blossoms and plants, letting you enjoy the beauty of nature.

Pick flowers and foliage yourself, carefully dry and press them, and pair them with the monthly calendar to create a gently colored, richly expressive piece.

By changing the types of flowers and plants, you can reflect the seasonal feeling of each month.

Lamination turns it into a long-lasting interior decoration, and its natural, warm charm makes it a perfect gift.

Going for walks to find flowers for pressing, and the process of making the pressed flowers and calendar, also involve planning, physical activity, and fine motor practice—activities that may help prevent cognitive decline.

Origami Calendar

Komu-chan Origami Calendar ♪ June

Do you know Akira Yoshizawa? He’s famous as Japan’s top creative origami artist and a world-renowned figure who truly evolved “origami” into “origami” as an art form.

His works—like the rooster and the leopard—are so well-crafted you’ll find yourself asking, “Is this really origami?” There are many examples online, so I hope you’ll take a look.

Inspired by Yoshizawa—or perhaps not exactly—but how about making a rainy-season-themed calendar out of origami? There are easy models to fold, like hydrangeas, snails, raindrops, and frogs.

I’d love for everyone to make them together and have a lively time!

Easy! DIY Blackboard Calendar Made with Bottle Caps! [CAINZ DIY STYLE]

Here’s a handmade calendar you can create using a corkboard and plastic bottle caps.

Prepare a corkboard and protect the wooden frame around it with masking tape.

Spray it with black paint, then remove the masking tape and push pins into the board at even intervals.

Gather 31 plastic bottle caps and write the numbers 1 through 31 on them.

Use a pen to label the month and days of the week on the corkboard, then hang the bottle caps on the pins.

By swapping the caps, you can use it as a monthly calendar, and it also serves as ongoing fine motor exercise.

Give it a try!

♬ How`s Your Day – aAp Vision

It’s well known that cicadas have short lifespans, but in fact fireflies are also quite short-lived, and there are supposedly very few species that can survive the winter.

Creatures that emit that delicate, fleeting light being short-lived… it feels a little sad, doesn’t it? Making a calendar with a firefly motif is a stylish idea, though.

You could write the date in the glowing part of their tails or darken past days—the possibilities for creativity are endless.

If you make three-dimensional fireflies out of origami and hang them with thread, your wall will instantly look more festive.

There are plenty of ideas on video sites too, so be sure to check them out for inspiration.

Calendar of a frog and a teru teru bozu

We’re always glued to the weather forecast in June, with early-summer field trips and sports days coming up.

That’s when teru-teru bozu come into play.

Many of you probably made them in nursery school or kindergarten.

These teru-teru bozu, which even appear in ukiyo-e and haiku, seem to have already become established as a custom by the Edo period.

A teru-teru bozu calendar would be fun, too.

If you’re making them as a group, you could create 30 of them—one for each day—and give each a different expression.

A lineup of 30 three-dimensional teru-teru bozu would be quite a sight!

Rainy season-themed calendar collage

Calendar collage for June 2024! The theme is the rainy season :)CollageI want to connect with people who like collages.#collage#Paper goodsASMR-styleHandmade CalendarCalendarJune

♪ Original Song – Pooome – Pooome

In ancient Japan, the rainy early-summer showers were called “samidare,” but after the term “tsuyu” came from China, that became the standard.

Perhaps the reading of “tsuyu” evoked the idea of “dew”? June is synonymous with the rainy season, so here we present a calendar themed around tsuyu.

You can collage colored paper or wrapping paper to create a rainy sky, or if you’re good at patchwork, try crafting a rainy-season scene with fabric scraps.

Even if the calendar section is small, it could make a lovely room decoration.
