An impactful wall display! Here are some ideas for a summer pop-out wall display.

Delicate and beautiful displays are lovely, but how about creating something dynamic and striking? This time, let’s make a wall display of a girl placing a hat on her head while bringing a red watermelon to her mouth.

It looks like you can finish it by cutting colored construction paper according to templates and sticking the pieces in place! If each person is in charge of one area, you can collaborate to complete it.

It will be eye-catching and a memorable display.

A wall display that feels like a refreshing summer! Here are ideas with sunflowers and blue skies.

When you think of summer flowers, many people probably imagine sunflowers.

This time, let’s make sunflowers blooming energetically under a blue sky.

What you’ll need: origami paper, scissors, a craft knife, a pencil, bamboo skewers, craft glue, paste/glue stick, and templates.

When making them, focus on the flower’s center—it’s the key detail—so take extra care there.

For the white clouds floating in the blue sky, adjust the number as you go to get a nice balance.

Tsumami-zaiku morning glory

[Summer Decoration] Tsumami-Zaiku: How to Make Morning Glories [With Wind Chime]

Do you know tsumami-zaiku? It’s a traditional craft dating back to the Edo period in which small squares of fabric, about 1–2 cm, are pinched and folded, then combined to depict the beauty of the seasons—flowers, birds, and natural scenery.

They’re well known as decorations for kanzashi hairpins and flower combs, so many of you have probably seen them.

Compared to the past, when there were few how-to books on tsumami-zaiku, today there’s a wealth of information online and many videos that explain the process in detail, making it much easier to get started.

Large craft stores even sell dedicated tsumami-zaiku kits.

There also seem to be gatherings and clubs run by enthusiasts, so if you’re interested, be sure to check them out.

Hydrangeas made with tsumami-zaiku have a charm that’s perfect for early summer.

Hula Girls and Hibiscus

[Craft Idea] Hula Girls and Hibiscus (August Summer) (Wall Decorations) (OT, Senior Recreation, Daycare, Early Childhood Education) (Origami) (Flowers) (DIY Papercraft)

How about a wall decoration with hula girls and hibiscus flowers that makes you feel like you’ve escaped to a warm southern island? It’s a great idea to give older adults—who may find travel difficult—a taste of a trip and a bit of summer mood.

Use construction paper or origami to make hula girls dancing the hula, along with lots of hibiscus flowers, and create a lively wall display! For the hibiscus blooms, it’s also recommended to take apart Hawaiian leis or artificial flowers sold at 100-yen shops and reuse the pieces.

You can even incorporate them into parts of the hula girls’ outfits.

And while admiring this wall decoration, why not give hula dancing a try yourself?
