A collection of summer vacation craft ideas made with 100-yen shop materials

tile coaster

[Craft Time] I tried making tile coasters♪

How about making your own original tile coasters using wooden coasters and tiles? Small tiles and glass tiles are also sold at 100-yen shops.

Arrange the tiles however you like and glue them onto a wooden coaster with wood glue.

Once the glue has dried, apply cement thinned with water to fill the gaps, and wipe the surface before it dries.

Don’t worry if there are small holes or if you wipe too much—you can touch it up with more cement.

Wipe the tile surfaces with a wet wipe and let everything dry thoroughly, and you’re done!

kaleidoscope

[At-home Independent Research Dojo] “The Marble Kaleidoscope” Edition (How to Make a Kaleidoscope)

Do you know the Kaleidoscope Gallery in Otaru, Hokkaido? A kaleidoscope—yes, that’s right, a kaleidoscope.

Kaleidoscopes had already been imported into Japan by 1819, during the Edo period.

They’ve been enjoyed as toys for quite a long time.

How about trying your hand at making one? Acrylic mirrors—the key component of a kaleidoscope—are available on the market, making the craftsmanship easy.

Choose a size that suits your idea, from small to enormous.

It might also be nice to include a summary of the steps for making the kaleidoscope along with the finished piece.

Butterfly flower hair clip

[Summer Vacation Craft] Butterfly & Flower Clips – also lovely as interior decor

Let’s make adorable butterfly and flower clips.

In the video, the butterfly part uses store-bought pieces, but you can also cut your own from sturdy materials like construction paper.

First, decorate the butterfly freely with colored pencils or beads.

Then simply use a hot glue gun to attach the butterfly to a clip, and you’re done! You can make the flowers the same way: punch out lots of flower shapes from origami or construction paper, layer them, and glue them to a clip.

They’re perfect not only for holding books and notebooks, but also as cute interior decorations.

These bright, cheerful accessories will liven up your mood—give them a try!

Wind chimes made with 100-yen shop materials | Stained glass style | #childcare #nurseryteacher #crafts

Sunlight enhances their beauty! Let me introduce an idea for stained-glass-style wind chimes.

On hot summer days, just having a wind chime with a cool, refreshing look can make you feel breezy.

This time, let’s make a stained-glass wind chime using transparent origami paper.

You’ll need transparent origami paper, a plastic cup, an empty capsule, double-sided tape, an awl, string, and so on.

Cutting the transparent origami into your favorite shapes and sticking them on to create a design is a process you can enjoy together with children.

Umbrella sun catcher

[Easy with 100-yen items] The umbrella sun catcher is unbelievably beautiful! #shorts

Let me introduce a soothing umbrella sun catcher that even adults will want to make.

Gather aurora cut cloth, a plush stand, needle-nose pliers, beads, glue, and double-sided tape, then let’s get started.

Draw eight circles on the aurora cut cloth and cut them out.

Fold each circle in half twice and secure it with double-sided tape.

Make the remaining circle pieces the same way.

Use double-sided tape to attach all eight pieces together to form an umbrella shape.

Thread beads onto a plush stand that has been cut in half using needle-nose pliers, then attach it to the center of the umbrella as the handle—and you’re done.
