Whether you enjoy rainy season and unsettled spring weather, or need something to stay positive when you’re stuck indoors, try some of these cute crafts or pick up a little treat.
Chisshy Origami has a huge Rainy Season playlist with 50 origami tutorials themed around rainy season in Japan. There’s hydrangeas, raindrops, umbrellas, snails and so many ideas with happy frogs.
Add this cute rainy day frog acrylic charm from Keeper of the Suns (AU) to your bag or keys for a little reminder to bring your umbrella and enjoy splashing around in the rain.
Aoi’s origami also has a lot of super cute Rainy Day origami DIYs to choose from, including these adorable little snails. I love their expressions and you can really have some fun with coloured or patterned paper for the shells and leaves.
Or make one in felt with this snail plush sewing pattern by DelilahIris Designs, available as both a digital download and full kit (US). It’s suitable for beginners with all hand sewing and a little bit of embroidery.
If the rain is getting you down, Teru Teru Bozu are handmade good weather charms that you hang in the window. There are loads of DIYs around for a traditional fabric doll, but Snacksies Handicraft Corner (SG) has the cutest crochet pattern & kit! It’s easy enough for total beginners but you can also buy finished dolls if you’re really not crafty.
Or you can keep one with you at all times by wearing this kawaii Teru Teru Bozu enamel pin by Tokyo Shojo (US). The clear umbrella is such a fun idea that will look especially cute on patterned backgrounds. There’s also a matching clear vinyl sticker.
