Crafts you can make with 100-yen shop items! A collection of fun project ideas that elementary school kids will love

clear pouch

[100-yen DIY] Easy no-sew candy clear pouch! Adorably finished in no time with a cute charm!

A clear pouch made from candy packaging is perfect for an elementary school summer craft because you can make it without sewing! You’ll need your favorite candy package, strong double-sided tape, a zipper, and a B6 soft card case.

First, use the paper insert from the card case as a template to cut the candy package, then stick it onto the case with double-sided tape.

Cut the zipper to match the size, place it face down, and attach it with double-sided tape to the opening of the case.

Blow hot air from a hair dryer onto it; when the case softens, turn it right side out.

If you also make a charm using the candy package and laminating film, it’ll look even cuter!

Strollers & Shopping Carts

[Handmade Toys] Stroller & Shopping Cart

With items from a 100-yen shop, you can make a handy piece that works as both a stroller and a shopping cart! Cut and remove the fabric from a small foldable chair used for outings, then attach a mesh basket there with zip ties.

Secure a caster-equipped plant stand to the bottom with zip ties, and cut off the excess ties to finish.

To prevent it from tipping over when you put dolls or toys on top, add a weight to the plant stand area—this will help small children play safely.

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!

Craft paper hat

[Elementary School Craft] A Hat Made with Kraft Paper

Let’s try making a hat using materials like kraft paper.

First, crumple the kraft paper into a ball to soften it.

Then wrap it around your head and secure it with tape at just the right size.

Once it’s taped, feel free to adjust the length and shape as you like.

You can tear it by hand or twist it, too.

After you’ve settled on a shape, try decorating it with tissue paper or origami.

When your one-of-a-kind hat is finished, having a fashion show can be lots of fun!

Handheld fan made from scrap materials

[Summer Vacation Craft] How to Make a Handheld Fan Using Recycled Materials — Great for Elementary School Science Projects

Combine materials around you to make a handheld fan that creates a fun breeze.

Drill a small hole in a popsicle stick and pass a skewer through the center to form the base for the blades.

Prepare a straw to serve as the shaft, then attach a round-cut piece of cardstock and brightly colored origami paper to complete the blade section.

Make a hole in the center of the shaft as well, assemble everything so it spins, thread it through the straw, and insert it into the handle.

Wrap thread around it, pull, and pass it through a bead—the moment you pull, the blades will spin.

With a bit of ingenuity, you can change the look and the strength of the wind and enjoy the freedom of creativity.

It’s an idea that lets you repurpose scrap materials to create a one-of-a-kind project.

deodorizing air freshener

[100 Yen Store DIY] Deodorizing Air Freshener Made with Ice Packs

Let’s make a DIY deodorizing air freshener using your favorite container and a gel ice pack.

You’ll need a transparent container, such as a dessert bottle, and a gel-type cold pack.

First, squeeze the gel from the cold pack into the container, add a few drops of your favorite essential oil, and mix well.

If you want to add color, stir in some watercolor paint.

Finally, decorate with stickers or jute twine, and you’re done! If the container has a narrow opening and is hard to mix in, it’s best to prepare the mixture in a paper cup first and then transfer it to the container.
