Let’s make a keychain with masking tape

[DIY] You can turn masking tape—all from the 100-yen shop—into a keychain! I'll show you how to make it!

Let’s try making keychains using easily available masking tape that comes in many patterns.

You’ll need masking tape, a hole punch, scissors, a utility knife, a cutting mat, double-sided tape, wide clear tape, black construction paper, a strap, and a ruler.

You can get all of these materials at 100-yen shops and similar stores.

The method is very simple: just layer the masking tape, construction paper, and clear tape together using double-sided tape.

Details on cutting and tips are explained in the video, so please refer to it.

It’s an inexpensive and easy science project for making cute keychains!

Let’s remake it!

Vintage with Paint! Remake Stool DIY [CAINZ DIY STYLE]

This is a craft project where a very colorful, ordinary-looking chair is unexpectedly remade with a vintage vibe.

It’s a serious guide that introduces various paints, tools, and techniques, but what’s great is that you can buy the materials at a home improvement store and refresh items you’ve grown tired of.

It might also be fun to enjoy a bold, free-spirited remake together with your children.

Ocean diorama

[Elementary School Grade 2 Summer Craft] All 100-Yen Shop Materials! Palm-Sized ♪ How to Make an Ocean Diorama

A diorama that can capture your summer beach memories.

You can easily make it with items from the dollar store, and it doesn’t take up much space, which is great.

First, mix ocher-colored paint into paper clay and attach it at a slight angle to the bottom of a jar with glue.

Add more glue on top, sprinkle sand, then mix blue pastel shavings (made with a tea strainer) with clear resin.

Create waves using clear resin and white paint, and brush them on to complete the sea.

After that, customize it to match your own memories with items like watermelon, swim rings, shells, and fish.

Since making people is hard, representing yourselves as animals—like rabbits or bears—results in a unique and cute piece!

Let’s make postcards from milk cartons.

[Independent Research] "Let's Make Postcards from Milk Cartons!"

There are many crafts you can make using milk cartons.

One especially unique idea is to create postcards.

First, cut the milk carton into pieces, soak them in water, and heat them.

Once they soften, peel off the outer layer.

Next, put the paper into a blender and mix well to make the base pulp slurry.

Then pour it into a frame, smooth it out, and let it dry to finish your postcard.

Try writing an actual message on it.

It can also be a great way to spark interest in how recycling works.
