morning glory
Many of you have probably grown morning glories for your summer vacation science project! Let’s make lots of these summer flowers to decorate the wall.
Create the morning glories with origami, and use construction paper for the leaves and vines.
The more you make, the livelier the display will be, so it’s perfect for a large group craft activity! It’s also lovely to arrange the morning glory flowers, leaves, and vines on strip-shaped construction paper and enjoy them like a curtain.
By changing the width and length of the paper strips and the spacing between them, you can decorate various places—give it a try!
fireworks
How about a wall decoration that lets seniors who can’t go out at night enjoy the feeling of a fireworks festival? Fold a large piece of paper and cut out a fireworks-shaped frame, then stick stickers inside the frame—this method is perfect for craft activities at day service centers.
You can make the stickers by cutting origami paper, or use store-bought round or star-shaped stickers—either works! Using sparkly materials gives it a luxurious look, so give it a try! Using a navy or black background will make the colors of the fireworks stand out beautifully.
In conclusion
How did you like the summer wall display ideas? For summer wall displays, expressing a summery feel while incorporating cool-looking motifs might help ease the heat a little.
