simple windsock
Make it with origami! Here are some simple streamer ideas.
These are recommended for anyone thinking of making streamers—simple yet super cute results.
Using solid-color origami is nice, but metallic or holographic origami adds a special touch! Fold back one edge of the paper to the front side, then cut the unfolded section with scissors.
Roll it into a tube and secure with tape—that’s it! It’s simple, but it will make an eye-catching Tanabata decoration.
Easy origami morning glory
Let’s make morning glories—one of the quintessential symbols of summer—using origami.
First, draw a circle on blue origami paper for the flower base and cut it out with scissors.
Next, take white origami paper for the inner pattern, fold it into a triangle twice, then unfold it once.
Fold the left and right corners diagonally inward so they overlap.
Draw a V-shaped cutting line, cut along it with scissors, open it up, and attach it to the circular base.
From there, you can trim the edge of the base to form petals, or make a single slit and overlap the edges before gluing to create a three-dimensional morning glory.
Make some leaves as well, and be sure to display your work on the wall!
yacht
Something to make in summer! Here are some yacht craft ideas.
A yacht is a boat that moves forward by catching the wind with its sails.
Even if you haven’t seen one in real life, they often appear in picture books and anime.
How about making a yacht that evokes the sea and enjoying a summer craft? All you need is a single sheet of origami paper.
The folding method is simple and easy to follow, so once you get the hang of it, kids should be able to finish it on their own.
Use origami in your favorite colors or patterns to create your own original yacht!
Simple goldfish
Let’s make it with scissors! Here’s a simple goldfish craft idea.
All you need is origami paper in your favorite color and a pair of scissors.
It’s a fun activity for both kids and adults to enjoy together! The process of making a goldfish with your favorite colored origami paper and scissors is simple yet helps build concentration.
In particular, after cutting the origami, it’s important to fold carefully so you don’t tear the paper—this is a key point.
This step will help develop dexterity and focus.
The finished goldfish is adorable and fun to display!

Let’s make it with origami in your favorite colors and patterns! Here’s an idea for a goldfish seen from above.
What you’ll need: one sheet of origami paper, a quarter-size piece of origami paper, and round stickers.
It’s an idea that’s full of cuteness! Use the full sheet to make the goldfish’s body, and the quarter-size piece to make the tail fin.
By gluing them together, you’ll create a goldfish with a three-dimensional look.
Add round sticker eyes and it will look just like a goldfish swimming! Since you can freely choose the colors and patterns of the origami paper, each goldfish will have its own unique personality—and it’s fun just to look at them.
A goldfish with a cute tail fin
Once you’re finished, draw patterns with a pen! Here’s a cute goldfish idea featuring an adorable tail fin.

Adding pen-drawn patterns gives it originality and boosts the overall finish, which is a big plus.
