Snow globe made from an empty bottle
Many people have probably received or bought snow globes as souvenirs or gifts.
Why not try making one with an empty jar? It’s easier than you think, and the result is beautiful and soothing.
All you need is an empty jar, a melamine sponge, liquid laundry starch (or thick laundry glue), small figurines or similar parts, and some glitter.
You can get them cheaply at a 100-yen shop.
First, attach the melamine sponge to the inside of the jar lid, then glue the figurines or other parts onto the sponge.
Put glitter into the jar itself, add laundry starch and water, mix, and screw on the lid—that’s it!
bento crafting

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.

Made with summer-specific materials! Here are some popsicle stick puzzle ideas.
When the weather is hot in summer, you crave cold ice cream, right? This time, let’s try making a puzzle using popsicle sticks.
You’ll need popsicle sticks, round stickers, stickers with your favorite motifs, and scissors or a craft knife.
Wash and dry the sticks, then apply the stickers and cut them! If you place a large sticker and then cut, you’ll end up with more puzzle pieces.
Give it a try!
pet trombone
Let’s make one with straws and a plastic bottle! I’ll show you an idea for a “pet-trombone.” Do you know the instrument called the trombone? This time, let’s try making a trombone-like instrument using a plastic bottle—the pet-trombone.
