Handmade ideas for summer decorations. Perfect for interior decor and craft activities!

Morning glory decorations made with paper towels

Make it with kitchen paper! Here are some ideas for morning glory decorations.

When you picture a morning glory, the softly spreading colors are especially striking, aren’t they? This time, let’s use kitchen paper to create beautiful morning glories.

You will need kitchen paper, circular shapes, water, a backing sheet, mixed ink, and colored construction paper.

It seems that kitchen paper moistened with water, or kitchen paper after applying ink, produces beautiful, vivid colors when you blot the excess moisture.

Kusudama and streamers/cord decorations

Kusudama, streamers, and string decorations made with origami (with audio commentary) — How to make origami Kusudama, streamers, and string decorations

For those who want to create Japanese-style interior items, we recommend kusudama and streamers or string decorations.

This idea looks like a wind chime and is hung by a window or similar spot.

The paper streamers or string decorations made from origami flutter in the breeze.

Watching them sway gives a cool, refreshing feeling.

It’s also fun that you can adjust the colors and patterns to match your room.

Coordinating them with your curtain color or wallpaper could be a great touch.

Let’s make a refreshing skeleton fan! Here are some goldfish fan ideas.

How about creating a pierced, see-through fan that looks beautiful even when held up to the blue sky? This time, the goldfish motif gives it a uniquely summery, beautiful design! You’ll need a clear plastic sheet, a fan base, a thick straw, masking tape, a stapler, goldfish stickers, artificial aquatic plants, rhinestones, glue, and double-sided tape.

It’s great that just by changing the placement of the stickers, you can create a fan that matches your own vision.

Fireworks made with paper cups

[August Craft] Perfect for Summer! Fireworks Craft ♪ Make It with Paper Cups [Nursery/Kindergarten] #shorts

Beautiful delicate hues! Here’s an idea for making fireworks using paper cups.

Many of you may be thinking about creating fireworks decorations.

This is a simple, beginner-friendly idea we recommend.

You’ll need paper cups, scissors, paint, and double-sided tape.

If you’re using patterned or colored paper cups, just cut slits into the cup, attach the pieces, and you’re done.

If you’re using plain white paper cups, it’s best to color them with pens or paint first before assembling.

Delicious summer hanging ornaments

A perfect decoration for a summer craft activity that I recommend is a summer hanging ornament.

Add colorful ribbons to the straw hat for a cute touch, and use accordion folds for the watermelon to create a three-dimensional look.

Including familiar motifs like soft-serve ice cream makes it even more approachable and sparks lively conversation while crafting.

Since it can be made with everyday materials like paper and yarn, it suits a wide range of ages.

After finishing, you won’t just display it—you’ll also enjoy looking at what you made, making it a great opportunity to feel the change of seasons.

Herbarium Aquarium

#35 ⭐︎ Recommended for summer vacation crafts ⭐︎ How to make an aquarium / Handmade

A herbarium-style aquarium where you can build your own little world is perfect for summer.

Many people are familiar with herbariums, where flowers are immersed in a special oil.

This activity is about creating one that resembles a fish tank.

First, stick fish stickers on the bottle.

Then add plants that seem to go well together, and even sand if you like.

After that, fill the bottle with oil and it’s done.

It’s fun how the atmosphere can change dramatically depending on your ideas—whether you make it colorful or dreamlike.
