Have you heard of it? Raindrop mobile are fun and easy to make. You can create a raindrop mobile using blue and silver paper or fabric. Just cut out raindrop shapes in various sizes and hang them from a circular hoop or a wooden dowel using strings of different lengths. Hang the mobile near a window or light source to create a calming visual effect reminiscent of raindrops falling.
Okay, you always need a stand organiser and sustainability is the way to do it. You can repurpose an old umbrella stand or large vase by painting it with bright colours or patterns. Use it to store umbrellas and walking sticks during the rainy season. You can also add hooks or pockets on the side to keep smaller items like keys, sunglasses, or a small towel handy.
Make a cloud-shaped memo board using soft cotton batting or felt to keep the blues away from your office. You should cut out a large cloud shape and cover it with fabric or felt in light blue or white. Now, attach it to a wooden board or frame and add small pins or clips to hang notes, photos, or reminders.
This one is classic. Time for you to create monsoon-themed art prints by painting or drawing scenes inspired by rainy days. Start with watercolours or acrylic paints to depict raindrops, umbrellas, puddles, and green landscapes. You can frame your artwork and display it around your office to bring a touch of nature indoors.
It’s monsoon and you should be prepared for the rainy days. To make it productive, try creating a rainy day terrarium using a glass container, pebbles, soil, and small indoor plants like ferns or moss. You can add miniature figurines of umbrellas, rain boots, or tiny animals to create a good scene.
To keep the employees going, it is essential to make them relish a nice cup of coffee or tea. You can make this time more special by making a waterproof coaster for them. Make waterproof coasters using ceramic tiles or cork sheets. Then decorate the coasters with waterproof paint, decoupage with monsoon-themed images, or use waterproof markers to draw raindrops or umbrellas.
You might want to create a thunderstorm lamp using a clear glass jar filled with water and a few drops of blue food colouring. Add a few drops of white paint or shaving cream to simulate clouds. Secure a small LED light or glow stick inside the jar to create a soft glow. Shake the jar gently to create the effect of a thunderstorm with swirling clouds and raindrops.
These DIY items are easy to make and they will add a personal touch to your office décor. Now what are you waiting for? Happy monsoon, folks!
