How to make summer paper crafts

What you need:

Summer Paper Crafts
Colorful craft paper
Glue
Drag

Step by step instructions

This summer paper craft only takes 30-40 minutes to make. Once you have everything cut out, you will have an umbrella and sun in no time.

Start by folding a sheet of white paper in half.

Cut waves from pieces of blue paper. You will want waves in different colors.

Start layering and gluing the corrugated layers onto the white paper.

You can use light blue followed by dark blue to create an interesting color contrast.

Create a sand-like effect by using a piece of light yellow/brown paper on the bottom.

You’ll also want to cut out the sun!

If you cut out multiple circles, you can create a 3D effect for the sun.

Paste the sun as shown below.

Cut a long stem to make an umbrella.

Cut out the umbrella in the color of your choice and glue it to the paper.

Continue gluing the first layer of the umbrella.
