In July, as summer gradually hits its stride, you can’t help but crave something cool to take the edge off the heat.

This piece suggests drawing water balloons with pastels—something that feels refreshing while still capturing quintessential summer scenes like festivals.

Cut paper into the shapes you want, layer them over a backing sheet, and apply shaved pastel over the cutouts to create a soft, gentle-colored illustration.

The key is to use bright colors for the water balloons and cool, blue-based tones for the background to evoke a sense of coolness.

Wind chime sun catcher

Suncatchers that sparkle in the sunlight create tiny rainbows and reflections around the room, lifting your spirits.

The visual stimulation can also help prevent depression and reduce stress.

Let’s try making a suncatcher by hand! Prepare tissue paper and cut it into circular shapes.

Attach them to a template shaped like a wind chime.

Make a small strip (tanzaku) from origami paper and stick it to the wind chime, and you’re done in no time.

If you add a bell with a subtle touch, it will create a pleasant, soothing effect.
