Let me introduce a target-shooting game that launches with a burst of energy using chopsticks and a clothespin.

Disposable chopstick holder

Simple! A chopstick storage box: just keep stacking disposable chopsticks. Great for a summer vacation craft!

Here’s a chopstick accessory holder that’s perfect for a summer vacation craft.

Prepare 12 pairs of disposable chopsticks, glue, and colored construction paper.

Split the chopsticks in half, then use scissors to cut all the way around the midpoint to make them half-length pieces.

With 12 pairs, you’ll get 48 sticks.

Cut the colored paper into a square, apply glue to the left and right sides, and attach chopsticks; then flip it over, rotate it, and glue chopsticks onto the sides that don’t have them yet.

Apply glue where the chopsticks overlap and stack the sticks one by one.

Make sure they stack up straight.

Let it dry thoroughly, and it’s done!

Handmade maracas

Handmade maracas! You can easily make an instrument with paper cups and straws♪

This craft is inspired by maracas made with paper cups that produce a cheerful rattling sound when lightly shaken.

The steps are simple: put beads or finely cut pieces of straw into a paper cup, then cover it with another paper cup as a lid.

What you put inside is important—consider how different fillings change the sound as you make it.

Decorating the outside is also a key point; aim for fun decorations that match the light, lively sound of the maracas.
