Paper fan with fireworks

[Summer Origami Craft] How to Make a Fireworks Paper Fan with Audio Instructions ☆ Origami Fireworks Paper Fan Tutorial – August Decoration

Fan-shaped paper fans are perfect for creating fireworks! So let’s make firework decorations using the same method as making a paper fan.

To make a paper fan, accordion-fold origami or construction paper, fold it in half, thread a string through the center, and then spread the paper out to both sides.

If you combine and glue on pieces of origami cut into firework patterns, or draw designs before making the accordion folds, it will look more like fireworks.

Make lots in various sizes and stick them on the wall, and you’ll have a dynamic decoration that looks like a scene from a fireworks festival!

Let’s make an easy star decoration out of origami.

With a single sheet, you can make two decorations.

First, fold the paper once to make a rectangle.

Fold the top right corner down to meet the bottom edge to make a triangle, then fold the bottom right corner up to meet the top edge in the same way, and unfold back to the rectangle.

Fold the bottom left corner to the center where the creases intersect, then fold it back along the left edge.

Align the bottom edge with the crease you just made and fold it up, then make a mountain fold along the diagonal line in the center.

Cut off the layered top part of the paper at a slant, and then make another cut parallel to the first, about 1 cm apart.

You’re done! Did you get a star and a star-shaped frame? For a neat finish, alternate mountain and valley folds along the creases on the star.

Here’s a wall decor idea that’s fun just to look at, filled with lots of sea creatures.

Print and cut out various ocean animals, stick them onto plastic ribbon (raffia/suzuran tape), and line them up on the wall.

When arranged, they’ll look like a curtain—almost like an entrance to an undersea palace! You can use free images for the sea creatures, draw them yourself, or cut parts out of construction paper and assemble them.

It’s a great chance for kids to learn about different animals, so try using lots of different creatures.

spiral ornament

Spiral decorations made with easy origami: 2 types (with voice commentary) | How to make an easy origami decoration: 2 types

Here are two ideas for spiral decorations you can make with origami paper.

The first is a teardrop-shaped ornament.

Cut the origami into six narrow strips and keep them stacked.

Fold down the top left corner to form a triangle and crease it.

At the bottom edge, fold up about 5 mm to create a glue tab.

After gluing all the triangular sections together, lift the layers of paper at the bottom one by one, twist each once, and glue the glue tabs together.

The second is a leaf-shaped ornament.

The process is basically the same as the first, but make the bottom glue tab by folding it into a triangle in the opposite direction to the top triangle.

How to Make Tanabata Decorations — A Cute Two-Tone Streamer Hanging Ornament!

The “fukinagashi” streamer, a classic Tanabata decoration, is bright and eye-catching, so it’s also great for summer festival decor.

Here’s a cute idea that includes pom-pom flowers.

First, make a streamer by cutting slits into two colors of tissue paper, then attach it to a short section of a toilet paper roll.

For the flower pom-poms, stack two colors of tissue paper, accordion-fold them together, tie the center, and gently pull apart each layer.

Connect the flowers to the streamers, add a string for hanging, and you’re done!
