Make it with water-based pens and glue! Here’s an idea for DIY sticker-style wind chimes.
Some people may think making homemade stickers is difficult, but with the steps introduced here, you can complete them with a simple process! What you’ll need: a clear file folder, water-based pens, liquid glue, and a glass wind chime.
Glass wind chimes are apparently available at 100-yen shops, so it’s nice that you can gather everything easily.
Draw your motif on the clear file with a water-based pen, then apply liquid glue over it and let it dry—your DIY sticker is done! Try decorating by sticking them all over the glass wind chime.

Chilled jelly and pudding are also among the delicious foods of summer.
Recently, bite-sized jellies have been sold as snacks for children and as health foods.
They’re the perfect little treat when you want just a bite.
How about making mini wind chimes using those small plastic cups? Apply glue to the outside of the cleaned containers and layer small pieces of paper onto them.
Then thread a string through and decorate freely with beads and trinkets.
It might be cute to adorn them with tiny bells or your favorite figurines.
These wind chimes are very photogenic, so they’re great for Instagram too.
[Wall Decor] Papercut Wind Chime

In some apartment complexes and multi-unit residences, wind chimes may be prohibited.
A sound that’s pleasant to one person can be distracting noise to another.
Being considerate of others is important.
So how about making a wind-chime-style wall decoration that doesn’t make any sound? You could paste on pretty chiyogami paper, or use vinyl materials to create a cool, refreshing look—both are great options.
Building it in a slightly three-dimensional way so the paper flutters is nice, too.
This visually cool “wallpaper wind chime” is also recommended for people living in homes without eaves.
[Origami] Goldfish Wind Chime

Goldfish are often depicted on uchiwa fans and summer greeting cards.
They’re used as a kind of symbol of coolness, but what is their origin? I got the impression that the most common theory is that they give a “visual sense of cool,” but I’m sorry—I couldn’t find anything definitive.
I’m digressing a bit, but let’s make a wind chime with an origami goldfish that really leaves an impression.
If you check books and the internet, you’ll find folding instructions for goldfish, but there are many parts that require folds measured in mere millimeters, so it seems to be quite advanced as origami…
Even so, the goldfish on this wind chime is incredibly charming.
It’s recommended for those who want to take their time and enjoy the process!
Paper and origami wind chime

You sometimes come across a scene where an elementary school kid from the neighborhood is bringing home a craft they made during art class, right? Every time, I find myself thinking, “Ah, handmade crafts are so nice,” and I feel like I’m a kid again.
Is it just me? It might take patience, stamina, and nimble fingers, but a wind chime made from construction paper and origami is the kind of piece that makes you want to try making one yourself at least once.
The delicate details and the chiyogami peeking through as a lining are incredibly cool.
It could be fun to make it over a few days with close friends.
And if you’re going to make one, using your best chiyogami might be the way to go.
Be sure to make it with a smile!
paper-cup wind chime

Summer vacation is exciting, but the mountain of homework is always a struggle, isn’t it? Especially the free craft project that tends to get left until the very end.
If you’re wondering what to make this year, look no further.
This paper cup balloon is a highly recommended craft.
You can make it with things you have at home, it’s budget-friendly, and it doesn’t take much time—lots of helpful points.
The lantern-like shape created by reshaping the paper cup is cute, and if you make a few in different colors, it might become the centerpiece of your craft display.
Since you’ll use a utility knife to cut out the bottom of the paper cup, have an adult help with that part.
Of course, it’s also a fun project to make even if it’s not for a school assignment!

jellyfish wind chime
Let’s make use of sparkling materials! Here are some ideas for a jellyfish-themed wind chime.
When you think of jellyfish, you might picture them drifting gently through the sea.
Try expressing the scene of sunlight glinting on the water’s surface using holographic or aurora-effect origami paper.
You’ll need items like a jelly cup, double-sided tape, holographic origami paper, plastic raffia (Suzuran) tape, string, a bell, round stickers, and a film curtain.
Give it a try and create your very own jellyfish wind chime!
