Landscape with moving koi-nobori (carp streamers)

How about making a slightly unique koi-nobori decoration? You’ll paste koi-nobori ornaments onto a picture that serves as a background of cityscapes and sky—and amazingly, the koi-nobori move! The body is made by stringing together scale-shaped parts, so when you touch it, it wiggles and changes shape.
Depending on your mood that day, the koi can go up or down.
It’s a May wall decoration you’ll never get tired of, even if you look at it every day! It takes a little time because you make each part one by one, but that just makes you grow more attached to it.
Carp streamers and samurai helmet
Try making 3D-style carp streamers and samurai helmets! Their intricate look will boost the May festival mood.
The carp streamer is based on a rolled sheet of origami paper.
Cut one side of the origami into a triangle to form the tail, then attach the pre-cut eyes and scales to finish.
The helmet is also made with origami, but after folding, create some space inside so it stands on its own.
Connect them with thread and hang them on the wall for a cute mobile! Choosing colorful origami will make them look even more festive.
In conclusion
We’ve shared ideas for koi-nobori wall decorations.
The tutorial covers ways to make them using origami, paper tubes, and various other materials, so it’s a great chance to try creating some with supplies you already have on hand.
Large, dynamic koi-nobori make a striking display, while small origami koi-nobori are adorable and sure to become favorites.
Have fun crafting and brighten up your walls for May!
