teru-teru bozu (a traditional Japanese handmade doll hung to pray for good weather)
Teru teru bozu are little dolls hung up to wish for clear weather the next day.
Why not try a craft project themed on these figures, which are also known as a traditional Japanese custom? First, wrap a balled-up piece of newspaper with shoji paper and secure it with a rubber band.
Next, dip the bottom part of the teru teru bozu into watercolor paint thinned with water.
Finally, decorate it with stickers, pens, ribbons, and more to finish.
Try making a doll that’s fun to create—crumple the paper, draw illustrations wherever you like, and enjoy the process.
Teru teru bozu wreath
Using a paper plate and tissue paper, you can make a cute, gently swaying teru-teru bozu wreath.
First, cut out the center of a large paper plate.
If children are using scissors, make sure they’re well-practiced with cutting before they start.
Next, use crumpled tissue paper and a plastic bag to make the teru-teru bozu.
It looks adorable if you decorate the neck with a ribbon, so it’s a good idea to have pre-tied ribbons for the children to stick on.
Create the faces of the teru-teru bozu, decorate everything with round stickers, and then attach them to the paper plate wreath.
Have everyone finish up their pieces into charming works together.
Mobile water drops
Here’s a craft idea for a mobile with a raindrop theme, perfect for the rainy season.
A mobile is a hanging, gently swaying decor piece suspended from the ceiling.
Use origami paper with colors and patterns to make lots of raindrop-shaped ornaments, connect them with thread, and hang them from the ceiling.
A design that looks like falling rain is very stylish.
For a pop look, use shiny, reflective origami paper or ones with polka dots or stripes.
It will instantly brighten up the room’s atmosphere, making it a great recommendation for the rainy season!
Hanging umbrella
An essential companion you can’t do without during the rainy season: the umbrella.
Rainy days can make the sky dark and gloomy, but seeing a lot of colorful umbrellas opened up can really lift your spirits.
Here’s a craft idea for a hanging decoration with an umbrella theme.
Since it’s a hanging piece, making it three-dimensional will give it a striking presence.
Try layering several sheets of construction paper to achieve a 3D finish! It’s also great to hang them from the ceiling like a mobile, or string them in a horizontal line like a garland.
Easy mini mini umbrella made with paper plates
To keep out the rainy season’s showers, an umbrella is an essential item.
Not only does it keep you from getting wet, but using a favorite umbrella can also brighten the gloomy image of the rainy season, even just a little.
Here’s a craft using paper plates, inspired by umbrellas—perfect for this rainy time of year.
Cut a paper plate in half, shape it so the tip is pointed, and finally attach a handle to complete the umbrella.
It’s important to freely draw your favorite patterns and think carefully about the design.
If you make the handle from something sturdy like a pipe cleaner, you can hang them on a string or line them up to enjoy, which is another nice touch.
