Playable maracas

Direct from a professional percussionist! Make and play DIY maracas!

Taught by a professional percussionist! Here are ideas for making maracas from scrap materials.

Do you know the term “scrap materials”? It refers to materials or items that would otherwise be thrown away.

Common household scraps include toilet paper rolls and plastic bottles.

This time, let’s make maracas using scrap materials! What you’ll need: empty capsule toy containers, toilet paper rolls, beads, stickers, washi tape, and regular tape.

carve a woodblock print

[Arts and Crafts: Carving Prints] For teachers guiding printmaking for the first time! “The beginner course uses intaglio.” We’ll explain the steps in detail — Fukiko Grandma’s Art Class Tips — #PrintmakingInstruction #HowToUseCarvingTools

You’ve probably wanted to try printmaking at least once, right? But if you accidentally cut away the parts you need, the image won’t turn out the way you want when you transfer it! For elementary school students who aren’t used to printmaking, I recommend intaglio (incised carving).

With relief (yang carving), you leave the lines that form the picture and carve around them, while with intaglio (yin carving), you carve the parts you want to become the picture.

Since the carved areas are smaller, even first-timers can enjoy it.

Once you’ve finished carving, use printmaking ink and transfer the image onto paper.

Give fun printmaking a try and enjoy the excitement of seeing what kind of picture appears!
