(Paper Craft) Make it with paper cups! How to make a simple and cute mini pot [DIY]

Let’s make a mini-sized pot using a paper cup.

Cut off the rim of the paper cup and punch out the bottom.

Flatten the cup in half, rotate it 90 degrees, and flatten it in half again.

Attach a flattened paper cord to a piece of cardboard cut to the size of the bottom, then glue this to the bottom of the paper cup.

Wrap paper cord around the outside, and pack clay inside.

Attach artificial turf on top, insert an artificial flower, and you’re done.

Make pots in your favorite colors and use them as room decor!

kaleidoscope

[Paper Cup Craft] Super Easy! How to Make a Colorful Kaleidoscope [Ashitaba Channel]

Here’s an idea for an easy-to-make kaleidoscope.

Cut out the bottom of a paper cup and apply double-sided tape around the upper part of the side.

Take strips of colored cellophane, stretch them across the opening like a lid, and adhere them in place.

It’s nice to have various colors of cellophane.

Cover the bottom area with tracing paper, decorate the outside of the cup, and you’re done! Hold it up to a fluorescent light and spin it around—it looks beautiful.

When you’re tired, let the beauty of the kaleidoscope soothe you.

crane game

[Vienna Gachatt] Everyone’s favorite DIY claw machine #Short The how-to is in the description 🌟

Here’s a craft idea for enjoying a crane game at home.

Make a small hole in the bottom of a paper cup, then cut the sides into eight equal sections.

Remove every other section so you’re left with four, fold the tips inward, and insert a straw through the hole you made.

To keep the straw from slipping out, cut and flare the end, then tape it in place.

Prepare another paper cup, make a hole in its bottom, and stack it on top—and your crane game is complete! It can lift light items like individually wrapped candies.

Lamp stand

A lamp made from paper cups. Let’s play a little test-of-courage game.

Why not make a lamp stand to your own taste and enjoy a soothing nighttime moment? Sketch any design you like on the side of a paper cup, then use an awl or a drill to punch holes along the lines of your sketch.

Once you’ve traced all the lines with holes, erase the sketch, punch holes on the rim of the cup, and then make matching holes on the opposite side.

Thread a string through the holes to create a handle and tie it, then place a light inside the paper cup to finish.

You can hang it from the ceiling or simply set it down as is—both look beautiful.

Let the soft light filtering through the pierced design soothe you.

gacha machine

Candy Gacha Machine Made with Paper Cups #craft #diy #art #handmade #homeparty #Daiso #houseparty

Let’s try making a gacha machine that can hold soft candies.

You’ll need two white paper cups, one clear paper cup, and construction paper.

Cut a square out of the rim of one white paper cup to create the dispensing slot, and make a hole in the side.

Make holes of the same size on the opposite side and on the bottom.

Roll the construction paper into a tube and make holes in it as well.

Cut the other white paper cup in half; attach a tray made from construction paper, then stack it underneath the cup with the holes.

Insert the tube into the holes, and finally stack the clear paper cup—with a hole in its bottom—on top.

You’re done!

Cake-shaped accessory case

@hoikushisatomi

[Even kids can make it] Cake-like trinket box 🍰Seasonal craftsChildcare ideasLife with childrenNursery teacher / Childcare worker#Creative PlayKids will love itChildren's Day#crafts#craftkids

♫ Winter Maple Leaves – Sasa.

Here’s an idea for a cake-themed trinket holder made with paper cups.

First, take one paper cup and cut straight from the rim down to the base, then cut out the base as well.

Use this as the template base, and decorate it by attaching felt or construction paper to make it look like a cake.

Once you’ve finished decorating the base, attach it to another paper cup, and you’re done.

It’s easy and cute, and you can customize the decoration however you like—highly recommended! With a bit more effort, you can even add a lid to the trinket holder, so give that a try if you have the time.

Great for free craft time too! 'Cute Crafts in the Kitchen for Elementary School Kids' (Gakken) – children, parents and kids, DIY, at-home activities

This is a craft project where you use everyday materials like paper cups, paper napkins, and water balloons to make small, play-kitchen-style items.

The book features recipe-style crafts focused on cute sweets such as ice cream, cupcakes, and pudding, making it feel as fun as flipping through a cookbook.

One especially noteworthy method is making a dome-shaped cup by pasting paper napkins onto a water balloon, letting it dry, and then popping the balloon.

Add toppings made from felt or origami to finish it off so it looks like a real dessert.

You can also customize paper plates and drink cups to create displays that look like a charming little shop.

It’s a visually delightful craft that sparks creativity.
