Hydrangea stamps and rainy-season decorations
Let’s create while expressing your favorite aesthetic! Here are ideas for hydrangea stamps and rainy-season decorations.
Stamps and stickers don’t require much force, so they’re gentle on your hands.
Plus, choosing colorful, cute designs adds visual fun and can brighten your mood.
A handmade calendar using stickers and stamps also makes a heartwarming gift.
It’s perfect for yourself, of course, and wonderful to give to someone else too!
Drawing with colored pencils
A warm, inviting vibe is the charm! Let’s make a calendar while drawing with colored pencils.
The biggest advantages of colored pencils are that they’re easy to try and great for detailed work.
Because you don’t need to press hard, your hands won’t tire easily, making long sessions less strenuous.
You can also blend colors freely as you shade your illustrations, letting you enjoy the exact tones you want.
Relax, tap into your creativity, and create a calendar—it might be just the refresh your mind needs.
Calendar made with transparent calendars and stamps
When the rainy season arrives, some people may find their spirits dipping.
Here’s a calendar that turns gentle drizzle into a charming scene.
Use stamps to create a cutout shape of a girl holding an umbrella.
Stamp the girl with the umbrella onto the calendar base as well, and then attach the cutout on top.
Stamp raindrops onto the calendar base.
The area where the girl with the umbrella is will remain unstamped, creating a neat finish.
There are other stamps that evoke June too, so try making your calendar with whichever designs you like.
Pink hydrangeas spilling out from the forehead
We’re pleased to introduce an adorable pink hydrangea decoration that overflows from its frame.
First, prepare small pieces of pink origami paper and cut them into quarters.
Fold each piece into a triangle twice, then stand and fold each side halfway front and back, pressing flat as you go.
Round off the left and right corners with scissors, fold one layer back, and crease it well.
Once you have the crease, open up the petal.
Repeat the same steps for all the prepared papers.
Make the leaves, and once they’re ready, start attaching everything to the frame.
Finish by placing a bead in the center of each flower.
It’s perfect as a room decor accent, too.
cherry (sweet cherry; cherry fruit)
Cherries come into season during the rainy period.
How about making a wall decoration with the hope that delicious cherries will grow and that we’ll get to eat them this year too? It’s easy to make.
Roll red origami paper into balls for the fruit, roll green origami paper into thin strips for the stems, and cut out leaves with scissors.
Finally, glue everything together and you’re done.
If you also make a tree out of construction paper and stick on the cherries and leaves, you’ll have a splendid wall decoration.
After enjoying it as a decoration, you can also use it for a cherry-picking game, so it’s highly recommended.
aroma air freshener
A cool-looking aroma diffuser is perfect not only for your home but also as a gift! First, put some ice pack gel into a stylish bottle.
The final look changes depending on the color of the gel, so choose your favorite shade like blue or clear.
Add crystal stones and a small amount of glitter, then mix well to blend everything together.
Finally, add a few drops of your favorite essential oil, and you’re done! All you do is add the materials and mix, yet it looks just like a store-bought diffuser.
It’s also nice to prepare several fragrance options so people can choose the scent they like.
Morning glory vessel ornament
Introducing a “Morning Glory Bowl Decoration” that also serves as interior decor for your room.
The morning glory made with two sheets of origami has a three-dimensional shape, making it perfect for displaying in a bowl.
The bowl is also made of origami, and the key is to use a thicker type of paper.
First, crease the origami, then fold it into the shape of a bowl.
Although the steps are detailed, dexterous seniors may enjoy making it.
Adding leaves and vines to the origami morning glory makes it look even more like a floral arrangement.
You can also arrange various origami flowers in the bowl for a lovely effect.
