sunflower wall decoration
Sunflowers are one of the flowers that symbolize summer, aren’t they? Seeing sunflowers blooming on a hot day can make you feel energized.
Let’s make a wall decoration with a sunflower motif.
Using crinkled crepe sheets to create the sunflowers gives the piece a nice textured look.
Fold and cut the crepe sheets to make the sunflower petals.
We’ll form the center by crumpling tissue paper, and here’s a fun method: put the crumpled tissue paper into a plastic bottle cap for the center, or press the tissue crumpled with the cap.
This leaves a round imprint on the tissue, adding a nice accent to the sunflower’s center.
Glue the sunflower onto a backing sheet, place it on a stand made from a disposable chopstick, and it’s complete.
It’s a lovely piece that seniors can take home and display in their homes.
Wind chimes made from gashapon capsules
Many of you have probably enjoyed capsule toy machines with your grandchildren or children when you go out together.
They’re affordable, and you get that exciting feeling of not knowing which toy you’ll win.
Instead of throwing away the container as you usually would, let’s use it to make a wind chime.
Just put whatever you like inside the container, attach a bell and a strip, and it’s done in no time.
These wind chimes don’t cost much, and they’re easy to make even for those who aren’t good at crafts.
Be sure to have fun making them together!
clear-file wind chime
Because clear plastic files let light through, decorating them with colored film or pens creates the beauty of a glass-like wind chime.
The gentle, translucent colors are easy on the eyes and relaxing just to look at.
They also stimulate the senses of older adults, which can help with dementia prevention.
Cut the clear file to the desired size and attach the pieces.
Add your favorite decorations with beads or masking tape, and your original wind chime is complete! Let the transparent, beautiful wind chime soothe your body and mind.
Watermelon wind chime
Wind chimes are a hallmark of summer.
This time, we’re introducing an idea for making a watermelon wind chime out of origami.
Please note that you’ll need origami paper that’s colored on both sides.
First, crease the paper vertically, horizontally, and diagonally so the center becomes the apex, then add the creases again.
Insert a piece of white paper to represent the rind and flesh, and while using the creases as guides, shift the paper sideways as you fold.
Once you’ve formed the watermelon shape, use a pen to draw seed patterns.
Thread a string through and attach a strip of paper to finish.
Display it by a window to feel the arrival of summer.
Jelly Cup: Twinkle Star Wind Chime
Star-shaped and sparkly decorations have eye-catching beauty and a playful vibe that brighten your heart just by looking at them.
The way they shine as they reflect sunlight or indoor lighting provides visual stimulation and helps refresh the mood of older adults.
Prepare a jelly cup and stick on your favorite star stickers.
Add a holographic strip and a little bell, and it’s done in no time! Star motifs remind us of childhood dreams and our longing for the sky.
Even as we grow older, they gently resonate in our hearts as symbols of dreams and hope.
Mini wind chime
How about making a cute miniature wind chime using a jelly cup? Wash and dry the jelly container, apply glue, and stick on pieces of cut paper like a collage.
Once the glue dries, make a hole in the center to thread a string through, and trim off any excess parts of the container with scissors.
Thread a strip of paper (tanzaku) and a small bell onto the string, then pass the string through the jelly cup.
Adding a bead or similar item where the string meets the cup helps keep it in place and makes it look nicer as an accent.
You can also draw patterns on the tanzaku or decorate the wind chime with stickers to make your own original design.
Give it a try!
Wind chime made with Japanese-style origami
Don’t wind chimes seem difficult to make? Surprisingly, you can easily create a gorgeous wind chime using just construction paper and origami paper.
This time, let’s make a wind chime with traditional Japanese-style origami.
First, cut the patterned origami into circular shapes and attach them together.
If you follow the steps, you can decorate it with a cute cherry blossom pattern.
It looks charming and exudes a classic elegance, so displaying it by the window will give a bright, festive impression.
It also makes a wonderful gift for seniors, and they’re sure to love it.
Enjoy a wind chime so full of seasonal charm, it will blow away the summer heat.
