A Castle of Light Made with Corrugated Plastic and LEDs

Elementary 3rd–4th Grade Art Project Idea: A Craft Using Corrugated Plastic and LED Lights — “Castle of Light”

This craft uses plastic corrugated board (known as “Pladan” in Japanese) to create a fantastical castle of light, featuring enchanting lighting effects.

Use a utility knife to cut window shapes you like into the board—stars, hearts, moons—feel free to get creative.

Once you’ve cut them out, roll the sheet into a cylinder and secure it with tape, then place an LED light inside to finish.

When you switch on the light, it shines through the windows, casting mysterious shadows around the room and creating the atmosphere of a real castle.

One of its charms is how it looks different in daylight and at night.

If you design your own and build a piece with a story, it will open up a world of imagination.

[Resin] Bunny-Bear Shaker

How to Make a Bunny-Bear Shaker Using Only Items from 100-Yen Shops [DAISO/Seria/CanDo]

How about making a cute shaker using resin supplies from a 100-yen shop? Prepare charm accessories, resin, and animal silicone molds like bears and rabbits.

If you insert a pushpin into the mold from the start, you can skip the hole-drilling step.

First, put resin and colorant into a mixing palette and pour it along the outer edge of the mold.

Pop any bubbles, then cure it with a light.

Next, pour resin into the center section of the mold, pop the bubbles again, and cure.

Attach the hardware, add beads inside, and use laminating film to seal the lid.

Finally, brush on a thin layer of resin to finish—it’ll become a plump, super-cute shaker!
