Here’s an idea for a wall decoration that lets you enjoy both the Tanabata and summertime vibe: “Star and Watermelon Ornaments.” The watermelons are accordion-folded to create a three-dimensional look, while the stars are made from origami in coordinated colors and shapes.

Thread them and hang them from bamboo leaves for the finishing touch—the way they sway in the breeze feels refreshingly cool and makes for a visually delightful display.

The impression changes with different color combinations and arrangements, so there’s fun in experimenting, too.

Once you’ve finished decorating, the whole space is wrapped in the colors of summer, creating a bright, seasonal atmosphere.

It’s an easy yet festive wall art project that’s perfect for summer.

Fireworks with string art

@simplepapermade

A string art summer fireworks wall decoration 🎆 It’s easier than it looks, so it’s perfect for a summer vacation craft ✨ I’ve uploaded a detailed tutorial on YouTube 😊#fypString Art#diycraftAdult hobby timeThe Sound of Paper

♬ Sweet Effort – Dalkom Sounds

“Fireworks with String Art” is a wall display project for older adults that’s enjoyable both to look at and to make.

The method is unique: first, stack circular pieces of colored paper to create a base, then stretch colorful threads radially over the top.

The layered paper enhances the fireworks’ three-dimensional look, while the thread colors recreate the sparkle of a night sky.

Because the process requires care and precision, it naturally boosts concentration and is effective for fine-motor rehabilitation and cognitive stimulation.

The finished piece not only brings a summery atmosphere, but also fosters a sense of achievement and pride for the creator.

Give it a try!

Tanabata wreath making / origami / 100-yen shop / crafts

Let’s make a perfect Tanabata craft using wreaths and wire sold at 100-yen shops.

Cut origami or green-printed paper into bamboo leaf shapes.

Attach the leaves to the wire and group them in sets of three.

Then attach each set of three leaves to the wreath.

The key is to keep all the leaves facing the same direction.

You can decorate only part of the wreath with leaves, and feel free to add a ribbon or other embellishments.

A Tanabata wreath made from familiar materials will help older adults enjoy the feeling of the season.

Fireworks made with felt

[100-Yen DIY] Fireworks! A Summer Tradition—Just Cut and Stick

We’d like to introduce an idea for a wall art project with a soft texture and colorful palette: “Fireworks Made with Felt.” Simply cut felt of various colors into radial strips and stick them down to create the shape of bursting fireworks.

Because the steps are just cutting, arranging, and pasting, you can take your time and enjoy it at your own pace.

The soft feel of the felt is soothing, and choosing which colors to use is part of the fun.

Add rhinestones or stickers to the centers and tips of the fireworks, and they’ll look just like the real thing blooming in the night sky.

It’s a project full of seasonal flair that will fill your room with a summery atmosphere.

Let’s make fireworks with paper quilling

Let's make fireworks with paper quilling—easy and fun with simple twirls!

Fireworks put you in an emotionally rich mood and provide a wonderful kind of stimulation, don’t they? They’re especially beneficial for the brains of older adults.

As we go about our daily lives, it’s easy to lose a sense of contrast and of the seasons, so seasonal events are very important.

When you make a fireworks craft, you can imagine the summer that’s just around the corner.

This time, I’ll introduce a fireworks craft using origami and bamboo skewers.

First, wrap the origami paper around the bamboo skewer.

Then attach them to construction paper to depict the fireworks.

The steps are very simple, yet the result is a splendid display of fireworks, so I highly recommend it.

Tanabata Decorations: Sputtering Edition

Tanabata Decorations: Splatter Paint to Make the Milky Way | [Tanabata Craft] [100-Yen Store DIY] [Easy Craft] #100yen #DAISO #DIY #Recreation #DayService #Tanabata #ElderlyCare

Some senior care facilities may hold Tanabata events or activities in the summer.

Older adults might also hang tanzaku—small paper strips with their wishes written on them—on bamboo leaves.

How about adding a little twist to those tanzaku? Try attaching a backing sheet with a Milky Way-inspired design.

With a backing, you can hang the tanzaku directly on the wall.

To create the Milky Way pattern, the spattering technique is recommended.

It’s a method where you flick paint from a brush to create a scattered effect.

The fine speckles of paint look just like the Milky Way.

If you’re concerned about paint splashing around, try using a tool made from a milk carton or similar to help contain the splatter.
