[For Adults] Fun Activities and Hobby Ideas for Rainy Days
You made plans to hang out with a friend, checked the weather forecast for the day, and saw rain…
You might have found your way here because you’re wondering, “Uh, what should we do then?”
In this article, we’ll introduce activities and hobbies you can enjoy at home on a rainy day.
Although the earlier example was “hanging out with a friend,” these ideas are also perfect for spending time solo.
And because the theme is “for adults,” some of them require fairly serious preparation.

Rain Droplet Hanging Ornaments
This is a charming hanging decoration that represents raindrops.
Fold double-sided pastel paper in half twice into a triangle, then open the pocket to make a square.
Fold along the crease, and cut it into a droplet shape so that the tips of the droplet meet.
After gluing part of the opening, make a slit slightly inside the outline, and unfold it.
Attach it to a string with double-sided tape, and your hanging decoration is complete! During the rainy season, when constant rain can dampen your mood, we hope that looking at these cute decorations will help you feel a little calmer.
Rainy season plastic shrink art
Let’s make a rainy-season inspired craft using shrink plastic! Draw hydrangeas, frogs, raindrops, and other rainy-season motifs on the plastic sheet with colored pencils, then cut around the drawings.
Coat each piece with resin and cure it under a UV light.
Place small, finely cut and heated pieces of shrink plastic onto the hydrangea section, then cure again.
Arrange all the parts in your preferred layout, layer on more resin, and cure to finish.
You’ll have a cool, transparent-looking craft! It also makes a great keychain or bag charm.
In conclusion
Have you figured out what you want to do? Quite a few of the ideas need materials or some prep, but that’s part of the whole “for adults” theme.
That said, things like yoga are easy to try as long as you can watch a reference video.
Enjoy your rainy day!
