Pop-up summer wall decoration
An impactful wall display! Here are some ideas for a summer pop-out wall display.
Delicate and beautiful displays are lovely, but how about creating something dynamic and striking? This time, let’s make a wall display of a girl placing a hat on her head while bringing a red watermelon to her mouth.
It looks like you can finish it by cutting colored construction paper according to templates and sticking the pieces in place! If each person is in charge of one area, you can collaborate to complete it.
It will be eye-catching and a memorable display.
Sunflowers and blue sky
A wall display that feels like a refreshing summer! Here are ideas with sunflowers and blue skies.
When you think of summer flowers, many people probably imagine sunflowers.
This time, let’s make sunflowers blooming energetically under a blue sky.
What you’ll need: origami paper, scissors, a craft knife, a pencil, bamboo skewers, craft glue, paste/glue stick, and templates.
When making them, focus on the flower’s center—it’s the key detail—so take extra care there.
For the white clouds floating in the blue sky, adjust the number as you go to get a nice balance.
Simple 3D Morning Glory
Colorful morning glories are beautiful! Here are some easy 3D morning glory ideas.
When you think of beautiful summer flowers, some of you might picture morning glories.
They come in a variety of colors like light blue, purple, and pink.
This time, let’s make a three-dimensional morning glory with simple steps.
What you’ll need: origami paper, glue stick, liquid adhesive, scissors, craft knife, bamboo skewer, and a pencil.
By crumpling the origami paper into a ball to create creases, you can add a three-dimensional look.
Give it a try!
Pastel Art: Water Balloons
In July, as summer gradually hits its stride, you can’t help but crave something cool to take the edge off the heat.
This piece suggests drawing water balloons with pastels—something that feels refreshing while still capturing quintessential summer scenes like festivals.
Cut paper into the shapes you want, layer them over a backing sheet, and apply shaved pastel over the cutouts to create a soft, gentle-colored illustration.
The key is to use bright colors for the water balloons and cool, blue-based tones for the background to evoke a sense of coolness.
ice wind chime
Ice cream is a popular dessert for people of all ages, isn’t it? The cool sensation and sweetness when eating ice cream are said to bring happiness and even activate the brain’s “pleasure hormones.” Today, we’re introducing wind chimes with an ice cream motif.
They’re very easy to make! First, cut a plastic bottle and draw your favorite ice cream on it.
Choose whatever you’re craving—chocolate mint, strawberry, melon, and so on.
Add a cone, and you’ll have a wind chime that looks just like real ice cream.
Wind chime sun catcher
Suncatchers that sparkle in the sunlight create tiny rainbows and reflections around the room, lifting your spirits.
The visual stimulation can also help prevent depression and reduce stress.
Let’s try making a suncatcher by hand! Prepare tissue paper and cut it into circular shapes.
Attach them to a template shaped like a wind chime.
Make a small strip (tanzaku) from origami paper and stick it to the wind chime, and you’re done in no time.
If you add a bell with a subtle touch, it will create a pleasant, soothing effect.

All you need to do is fold and cut the paper, and it’s done in no time.
There are many patterns of origami paper, so try making one with your favorite design.
From papers that give a refreshing feel to ones that add a touch of brilliance, the options are wide-ranging.
Create a wind chime that suits your taste and enjoy spending time at home in the summer.
Your usual summer days will become even more fun.
