Handmade ideas for summer decorations. Perfect for home decor and craft activities! (1–10)
Shell and sea glass wreath

Its natural texture is perfect for summer vibes.
How about making a wreath using seashells and sea glass? Just use a glue gun to attach shells, sea glass, moss, and more to the wreath base.
With simple steps, you’ll create a stylish decoration.
Try arranging the pieces while thinking about things like “Where should I place the larger shells so they stand out?” and “How should I balance the colors of the sea glass?” If you live near the ocean, it can also be fun to head to the beach to gather materials.

Make it with holographic origami! Here are some ideas for a hanging fireworks decoration.
Many of you may be thinking about making fireworks crafts.
Big, dynamic fireworks are great, but delicate ones that sway gently in the breeze also have a strong presence and look lovely! This time, let’s make a hanging fireworks decoration.
You’ll need three sheets of origami paper, glue, a backing sheet, scissors, and so on.
It’s a good idea for teachers or guardians to help with the step where the origami is cut into fine pieces.
Be sure to give it a try!
Sunflower made with tissue paper

Sunflowers made from tissue paper make a striking seasonal wall decoration.
Fold the tissue paper in half, then align the bottom edges to the center and crease carefully to form a three-dimensional base for the petals.
After making valley folds and guide marks, wrap yarn around 45 times, cut the looped bundle, and glue it to the center to create the seed section of the sunflower.
Once you shape the whole piece, glue the parts together and attach a string for hanging to finish.
Using yellow or orange tissue paper gives the sunflower a bright, lively look that’s perfect for a cheerful summer vibe.
It’s a fresh, airy project that expresses petals with the soft texture of tissue paper.
