Original handmade watch

Summer Vacation Craft Series ♡ Part 6: Handmade Clock ♡ Let’s Make Your Very Own Original [Koujoucho] DIY

When you go to a 100-yen shop or a handmade goods store, you can find just the clock movement for sale.

Let’s use that to make your own original clock! For the base of the clock, use a photo frame or a plastic plate.

Once you decide where to fix the movement, drill a hole.

Tighten the nut to secure the movement, and then decorate it to your liking.

Paint it, attach parts, or add glitter to make it sparkle—depending on your ideas, you’ll end up with a clock full of originality!

Candy Magnet

[Easy Recipe] How to Make Candy Magnets from Fabric Scraps – Summer Vacation Craft, Recycled, Magnetic, Easy Fabric Accessory / How to Make a Candy Magnet / DIY / Easy

Let’s make a magnet that looks like a candy with twisted ends.

The materials and steps are very simple, so it’s highly recommended.

First, prepare strong magnets from a 100-yen shop, a plastic bottle cap, and a fabric scrap with a pattern you like.

Start by gluing the magnet to the back of the bottle cap.

Next, cut the fabric scrap to 14 cm by 10 cm, then fold back and glue three sides, leaving just one of the short sides unfolded.

Once the glue is dry, wrap the bottle cap with the fabric and secure it with glue.

Finally, to create the candy shape, gather and stitch the fabric at both ends with thread.

You’re done! Try making lots in different colors and patterns.

gel candle

[100-Yen DIY] Easy Gel Candle: Perfect for Summer Vacation Homework, Home Time, and Room Makeovers

At 100-yen shops, you can find a product called gel candles, and with them you can easily make homemade candles.

Gel candles are easy to handle, and you can even pour two different colors one on top of the other to create a two-layer candle.

The way the colors blend slightly between the layers also gives it a lovely look.

Plus, by placing items you like—such as colored sand, seashells, or dried flowers—into the glass before pouring in the gel candle, you can create a more stylish and original piece.

Give it a try and make one with your own sense of style.

Stone painting

Summer Vacation Craft Series ♡ Part 3: Easy Stone Painting (Stone Art) [Koujoucho] DIY

During summer vacation, there are times when you go out with your family to rivers or mountains, right? When you do, why not try picking up stones and making art with them? Of course, stones you’ve collected from around your neighborhood are fine, too.

First, paint the stones you’ve prepared with white acrylic paint.

This small extra step will help your work turn out beautifully.

Then, use acrylic paints to create animals, plants, and more by adding color.

If you also use items like pipe cleaners or empty cans, you can make pieces that look very realistic.

Please use this as a reference and give it a try!

Let’s make a cardboard pochette

[Anywhere Art Summer Vacation Craft] Let’s Make a Cardboard Pochette — For Elementary School Students

Here’s an introduction to making a pochette using cardboard.

Do you have cardboard boxes at home from parcel deliveries or from purchases at the supermarket? If you have some on hand, you can make a pochette simply by cutting it into shape, folding it, and assembling it.

Cardboard has lines where the inside is hollow.

The key is to keep those lines in mind when you cut.

If you want to create curves in your cardboard parts, cut across those lines.

Doing so will expand your creative possibilities.

Designing the pochette itself is sure to be an enjoyable time, too.
