Easy craft with 100-yen store materials: How to make melon cream soda. Perfect for summer vacation independent study or free craft projects. Requires few materials and is fun to make. Simple handmade 100-yen DIY for at-home time; homemade craft.

Melon soda isn’t just refreshing in taste—the vibrant green color alone gives off a sense of fun.

Focusing on that look, this project shows how to make a colorful mascot using simple materials.

The main materials are jelly-like modeling clay and crushed stones; by combining them well, you can recreate the sparkle of melon soda.

Fill a cup with jelly clay and crushed stones, then place white clay on top to resemble ice cream, and finish with decorations like a cherry and a straw.

Think about angles and proportions as you work to make it look as realistic as possible.

bento crafting

@n.annlee321♬ Nerd Strut (Instrumental) – Gen Hoshino

Bento craft that looks just like the real thing through clever use of color and shape is an art form that lets you enjoy the fun of making food.

Layer tissue over yellow crepe paper, offset them, cut into quarters, and fluff it up to get a texture like rolled omelet.

Roll up red crepe paper and add a green calyx, and it turns out just like a cherry tomato.

Wrap tissue in white crepe paper, shape it into a triangle, then wrap with black origami paper, and you’ve got a proper onigiri.

Even though every component is made only of paper, the thoughtful colors and shapes make it look delicious.

By planning the placement of side dishes and the overall arrangement, it becomes a work that greatly boosts creativity and powers of observation.

Whip Deco

I tried making whipped cream deco using only items from the 100-yen shop!

This decoration is striking for its unique, softly whipped-cream-like appearance.

There are handy tools that let you create whipped-style decorations just by piping, so make good use of them when crafting.

How you decorate is important, of course, but what you choose to decorate—like a card case or a photo frame—also showcases your taste.

After outlining the piece with the “whip,” attach motifs such as sweets or ribbons to enhance the cuteness.

Keep a sense of unity in colors and motifs while freely layering your decorations.

Melamine sponge sandwich craft

How about making a delicious-looking sandwich out of a melamine sponge that you’ll just want to take on a picnic? It’s very easy to make! First, prepare a large, thick melamine sponge and cut it into a triangle, imagining the shape of a sandwich.

Use a craft knife to make a slit so you can insert the fillings.

Next, create the fillings—such as ham, lettuce, or spaghetti—using construction paper or yarn.

If you use colorful materials for the fillings, the result will look extra cute.

Finally, tuck the fillings into the sponge sandwich, and you’re done! Try making different fillings and have fun playing with them.

Baskin-Robbins-style ice cream

[100-yen store clay] Baskin-Robbins-style ice cream

Baskin-Robbins ice cream is said to be appealing for its wide variety of flavors, and its colorful appearance makes it look delicious, too.

This is about recreating that colorful ice cream using clay.

The process is simple: mix paint into the clay to color it, then cut the colored clay and combine the pieces to match the flavor you want to make.

Once you’ve shaped it into a ball, use a toothbrush or a toothpick to create a bumpy texture to make it look more like real ice cream.

Finally, put the ice cream pieces into a cup and you’re done—using a real cup is also recommended.
