[For adults] Recommended craft kits (1–10)
Craft kit: Push-stained Light Tree
Let’s make a beautiful light-up tree that looks like stained glass.
First, sketch your design on the included template board, then trace over the lines with a pen, making them fairly thick.
Be sure to leave the glue tabs unlined.
Next, use a craft knife to cut out the release paper inside the lines, and apply the push-color sheets over the cutouts.
Once everything is covered, fold it into a square pyramid and glue it together using the glue tabs.
Form the light cover into a cone and secure it, then stack the light cover over the light and place the finished template board on top—your project is complete! It’s a craft kit that makes you want to create it for Christmas.
Wooden puzzle kigumi Himeji Castle
Ki-gu-mi is assembled like a puzzle without using glue or adhesives like bond.
The Himeji Castle introduced here is sure to amaze you with its stunning finished look! Despite the impressive result, it’s surprisingly easy to make.
First, you remove the parts outlined on the wooden boards—no cutters or saws needed; you can pop them out by hand.
Once the parts are out, all that’s left is to put them together.
This Himeji Castle measures roughly 160–200 mm in height, width, and depth, so it doesn’t take up much space.
Give it a try!
Tsukurundesu® Robotime DIY Miniature House
These are miniature houses and dollhouses made by Robotime, released by Tsukurundesu®, a company that sells various assembly kits.
You handcraft everything—from the house itself to the furniture, cookware, and interior decor—so it requires a great deal of patience.
But the finished piece is so charming you can’t help but gaze at it.
It works beautifully as interior decor, and you can also place small dolls inside to play.
You can paint it to your taste or give it an antique look; if you want to get particular, it’s a craft kit you can enjoy endlessly.
ROAK 3D puzzle piano
Introducing a handmade kit that lets you build a stylish piano! This is a 3D puzzle from ROKR that also works as a music box.
It has quite a lot of parts, so it definitely feels geared toward adults.
What’s more, like a skeleton clock, you can see the inner workings of the piano.
The keys even move in sync with the music.
It’s challenging to assemble, but it’s a 3D puzzle well worth making.
If you want to take it further, you can even paint it to suit your own taste.
Amyaker Diamond Art
These are products from Amyaker, which sells various diamond art kits.
You complete the picture by sticking square beads onto a numbered canvas.
The process is simple—just place the beads—but as you can see from the images, the details are extremely fine.
Naturally, there are many bead colors, and finishing a piece takes quite a bit of time.
However, the completed work looks almost like a painting and will make a strong impression as interior decor.
Find a design you like and give it a try.
Lurrose Handmade Kaleidoscope Kit
When it comes to craft projects, kaleidoscopes are a classic of kids’ summer vacations! But seeing a kaleidoscope again as an adult can be surprisingly moving.
So, how about making the kaleidoscope you loved as a child once more? It’s a traditional method: place mirrors arranged as a triangular prism inside a tube, make a peephole, and put colored plastic on the opposite end.
It’s very easy, so you can finish it quickly and start enjoying it right away.
There are many kinds of colored paper you can use to decorate the outside of the tube, so pick your favorite and stick it on.
Kawada Paper Nano Byodo-in
There are kits that let you build authentic models using blocks or wood, but this kit uses paper! At Kawada, we offer kits to create a variety of pieces, including the Tokyo Station Marunouchi Building featured here, as well as Osaka Castle, Kiyomizu-dera, and Shuri Castle.
You cut the parts out of paper and assemble them by attaching them with glue.
Tweezers make the finer work much easier! The finished result is so well-made you won’t believe it’s paper.
If you enjoy making miniatures and similar crafts, be sure to try it at least once.
