Let us introduce a gift box adorned with hydrangeas—visually striking and exciting to open.

You’ll fold the box by marking guide lines on origami paper as you go.

There are some fine steps, but by imagining the finished form while you work, you’ll engage your planning skills—your executive function—which can help stimulate the brain.

After making a hydrangea using origami in the same color as the box and gluing it on, the project is complete.

Bouncy, rhythmic stamping is so much fun! Here are some ideas for making calendars with stamps.

When you try to write stylish lettering, it can take time and often doesn’t turn out the way you want, right? That’s when stamps come in handy.

Their simple steps make it easy to achieve beautiful designs.

Just by stamping, you can enjoy colors and shapes without straining your hands, so it’s easy to get started.

Plus, the finished calendar is practical—and seeing it every day is sure to brighten your mood!

Making a calendar with eraser stamps

[Eraser stamps] Making a June calendar with a hydrangea stamp

Delicate designs are beautiful! Let’s make a calendar using eraser stamps.

An eraser stamp is a stamp made by carving an eraser.

Carve patterns or letters into an eraser with a carving knife or cutter, apply ink, and press it onto paper! Since erasers are soft and don’t require much force to carve, even beginners can enjoy creating intricate designs.

Let’s complete an atmospheric calendar featuring hydrangeas, a representative flower of June.

Take this opportunity to give it a try!

A pond where water lilies bloom

Super easy: A pond with blooming water lilies #easyYetStriking #mural #dayService #dayCare #outpatientRehab #elderCare #seniors #craft #recreation

We’d like to introduce a wall display featuring a pond of water lilies—perfect for June—where the blossoms look beautiful floating on the surface.

Let’s make the flowers by layering tissue paper.

Fold yellow tissue paper, cut slits into it, then roll it into a tube to create the flower’s center.

Attach the center to the water lily flower, and it’s done.

It’s also great to glue the lilies onto a large sheet of light blue poster paper and cut green construction paper to make leaves.

Create this lovely, June-themed wall display! Once it’s finished, decorating your entryway or a room will add a bright, festive touch.

carp

Kimie Gangi June wall decoration: “Tissue paper carp” — super easy cutout and collage

Isn’t June the month when we often get persistently rainy, muggy days and sweltering heat? Here’s a wall decoration of carp made from tissue paper that brings a refreshing, cool feeling.

Staple a carp template onto several sheets of tissue paper and cut along the template.

You can make multiple tissue-paper carp at once.

Arrange and glue the carp and tissue-paper lotus leaves onto a backing sheet in a balanced layout.

The fluttery, semi-transparent texture of the tissue paper creates a fresh, cool impression.

Encourage older adults to make the carp using scissors as well.

The steps are simple, so many people may find it easy to create.

It’s a perfect project for June that conveys a sense of coolness.
