Crafts Using Cellophane That Even Adults Will Want to Make [Beautiful Translucence] (1–10)
Lantern
Speaking of lanterns, they’re popular as Halloween decorations and camping gear, right? Let’s try making one by hand! The main materials are plastic sheets, copier paper, colored cellophane, and a light.
First, cut both the plastic sheet and the copier paper into triangles of the same shape.
Make four of each, and glue the plastic triangles together to form a pyramid.
For the copier paper, decorate it however you like using colored cellophane.
Once you attach the decorated copier paper to the plastic pyramid, your lantern is complete.
Place a light inside and enjoy the soft, gentle glow.
Colorful Kaleidoscope
Here’s an idea for a kaleidoscope you can easily make with a paper cup.
Cut out the bottom of the paper cup, then attach strips of colored cellophane over the rim where you would drink, covering the opening.
When you attach the cellophane, place the strips in various directions rather than just one, and use a variety of colors.
Stick tracing paper over the bottom of the cup, decorate the sides however you like, and your kaleidoscope is complete! Look at a light source through the bottom and try spinning it around.
Colorful bookmark
If you enjoy reading as a hobby, why not try making your own bookmark? It’s a stylish idea that looks like stained glass, and it’s easy to make.
First, fold a square sheet of construction paper in half, draw your favorite motif, and cut it out with a craft knife.
Open the paper and attach tracing paper so that it covers the motif, then stick small pieces of colored cellophane on one side.
Fold the paper in half again and glue it together, punch a hole at the top, and thread a thin strip of flower paper through it.
Tie it so it won’t come loose, and you’re done!
garland
Let’s make a garland you can hang in your room using colored cellophane.
Cut various colors of cellophane into strips, then layer and glue two strips vertically and two horizontally.
Overlap and attach the ends of neighboring strips to form a flower shape.
Make two of these, then slightly offset them, layer, and glue together.
Punch a hole in the top petal, thread a clip through it, and connect with string to finish.
You can link them horizontally or vertically.
Display them where light shines through for a sparkling, beautiful effect.
cellophane nails
Here’s an idea perfect for fashion lovers! If you enjoy doing gel nails at home, why not try using colored cellophane as one of your materials? Cut the colored cellophane into small pieces with scissors and place them on your nails after applying a base coat.
You can cure them as is, but it may look a bit youthful, so I recommend pairing the cellophane with colored polish or glitter to create a nuanced, stylish look.
Using white or gray polish can give it a more mature vibe.
paper stained glass
If you’d like to enjoy a slightly more elaborate craft, why not try making paper stained glass? Draw a stained glass pattern with a pen on white paper, then layer it over black construction paper.
Cut out the white areas with a craft knife, and attach pieces of colored cellophane cut to the same shapes on the back—that’s it.
You can stick it directly on a window to enjoy the stained-glass effect, or frame it and display it as interior decor.
It takes patience, but it’s a great idea I highly recommend for adults.
lampshade
A lampshade that diffuses a lamp’s light.
This is an idea for a stained-glass-style design.
Prepare sketches for the ceiling and four sides, place them over black construction paper, and cut them out with a craft knife.
Once the designs are cut out, attach colored cellophane to each piece to create a stained-glass effect.
Make two frames using short bamboo skewers and attach the ceiling design to one of them.
Using that as the core, glue long bamboo skewers as the side pillars and attach the side designs.
Glue the remaining frame to the bottom to finish.
Place it over your lamp and enjoy the vibrant, colorful light.
