Mobile-style fireworks

(Paper-made) Tanabata decorations / summer decorations – easy and beautiful! How to make fireworks (mobile-style) [DIY] (Paper craft) Easy and beautiful! Fireworks (mobile)
Mobile-style fireworks

Here’s an idea for mobile-style fireworks that will brighten up any room.

The key point is that you can easily make them by cutting construction paper.

It’s perfect for a craft activity with a large group, so why not try it at a day service center? Cut construction paper into strips, attach them to form teardrop shapes, and then glue the teardrops together so they resemble a flower.

To make it look more like fireworks, attach longer strips around the outside.

Have fun experimenting with different color combinations of construction paper! These are great not only as wall decorations but also for Tanabata ornaments and hanging decorations.

Paper fan with fireworks

[Summer Origami Craft] How to Make a Fireworks Paper Fan with Audio Instructions ☆ Origami Fireworks Paper Fan Tutorial – August Decoration

Here’s a fireworks craft idea that adapts the familiar paper fan used for wall decorations.

Accordion-fold two sheets of origami paper and attach each one end to end.

Then accordion-fold two more sheets, fold them in half, and cut out fireworks-style patterns.

Glue the cut pieces to the top and bottom of the ones you made first, tie the center with string, open it into a circle, and glue it together to finish! You can stick it directly on the wall or enjoy it as a hanging decoration.

The mood changes dramatically depending on your color combinations, so give it a try!

How about expressing sunflowers in full bloom during the hot summer using torn-paper collage? If you carefully observe real flowers and pay attention to the sketch and color palette as you create, your work will turn out even more wonderful.

By varying the way you tear the paper—sometimes in large pieces, sometimes in small ones—not only can you develop dexterity, but it also seems likely to enhance imagination and expressive skills.

While sunflowers are strongly associated with yellow, it could be fun to create original sunflowers in any colors you like.

Please use this as a reference and give it a try!

How about enjoying torn-paper collage using newspapers, a familiar recycled material? Fireworks—a hallmark of summer—are perfect as a seasonal motif because you can explore colorful, dynamic expressions! The unique texture and tones found only in newsprint add warmth and character to your artwork.

It’s also exciting to hunt for the various colors in the newspaper and cut them out.

Spending patient, focused time on the process stimulates the brain, so take your time and immerse yourself in creating your piece.

Goldfish made with paper quilling

Let’s try making a goldfish with paper quilling, a craft where you roll narrow strips of paper to create various shapes.

Basically, you wind the paper around a thin stick like a toothpick to make coils, then loosen, pinch, and shape them into parts.

You’ll need six parts for the goldfish: one for the head and body together, three for the tail fin, and one each for the dorsal and pectoral fins.

Once the parts are ready, assemble and glue them together, then add beads for the eyes.

Create a base by gluing paper cord into a spiral, attach the goldfish to it, and you’ll have a summery wall decoration.

“Sea Creatures Made with Bubble Wrap” is a wall decoration idea that lets older adults feel the summer season indoors.

By painting packing bubble wrap to depict octopuses, pufferfish, turtles, and more, this easy, imagination-sparking craft can also trigger memories of summer at the seaside.

In particular, it is expected to have reminiscence therapy effects that recall youthful beach outings and family trips, which can help maintain cognitive function.

The colorful pieces brighten the walls and spark conversation when displayed after completion.

Even those who aren’t confident with crafts can join in easily, making it a delightful way for everyone to enjoy summer together.

Suzuran tape comes in a variety of colors.

It’s a flat plastic bag-type tape that expands the possibilities for crafts.

Prepare cutouts shaped like illustrations of sea creatures such as fish, octopuses, and jellyfish.

Attach them to several strands of Suzuran tape, hang them up, and you’re done.

Using blue or light blue Suzuran tape enhances the ocean atmosphere even more.

For the sea creatures, coloring pages are fine, or you can have seniors draw them.

You can also find sea creature illustrations online, which makes it easy to try.
