Cardboard vending machine

[Summer Vacation Craft] How to Make a Vending Machine (Cardboard & Milk Cartons) [Independent Research / Vending Machine / Upcycled Craft] How to Make an Easy Vending Machine!

Let’s introduce a cardboard vending machine that looks just like the real thing.

Insert a coin and press a button, and a drink will come out from inside.

Gather the materials—milk cartons, cardboard, bubble gum, rubber bands, paper clips, plastic sheets, tape, glue, a ruler, scissors, and a utility knife—and let’s get building.

We’ll start by making the internal parts of the cardboard vending machine.

The key is to carefully measure each part and cut it to the correct size before assembling.

Measure the base cardboard as well to ensure it’s the right size to hold the drinks, then build accordingly.

It also sounds fun to make your own original drinks!

pen holder

DIY a tissue box · Origami gift box · Mr. Coin Origami Channel 15

Open the tissue box and flatten it.

Cut off the left and right sides, then cut down the middle to make it a single sheet.

Fold it in half with the printed surface facing inward, then fold it in half once more.

Open it once, fold down all four corners, and continue folding while shaping it into a box.

For the final overlapping part, securing it with a clip will make it more stable.

Our hands have tactile senses that perceive touch, temperature, and texture through sensory nerves.

Therefore, using our hands is said to stimulate the brain and help prevent cognitive decline.

The tissue box used this time has a moderate firmness and requires applying pressure with the fingertips when shaping it, so it may be even more effective.

Let’s try making musical instruments from around the world

[Latin America & Education] Try it at Home: Let’s Make Musical Instruments from Around the World! [Rainstick]

Let’s make a rainstick, a musical instrument from around the world that sounds like falling rain.

Prepare toothpicks, an empty plastic wrap tube, rubber bands, beads, fabric scraps, nail clippers, a hole punch or awl, and glue.

Start by making spiral-shaped holes along the tube.

It can be slippery, so be careful while punching the holes.

Insert toothpicks into the holes.

Use the nail clippers to trim any parts of the toothpicks that stick out, then apply glue over them to secure.

Cover one end of the tube with fabric and fasten it with a rubber band.

Pour beads in from the other end, then cover that end with fabric and fasten it with a rubber band in the same way.

Decorate the tube, and you’re done.

It’s a rainstick that produces the sound of rain or waves—give it a try!

Handheld fan made from scrap materials

[Summer Vacation Craft] How to Make a Handheld Fan Using Recycled Materials — Great for Elementary School Science Projects

Combine materials around you to make a handheld fan that creates a fun breeze.

Drill a small hole in a popsicle stick and pass a skewer through the center to form the base for the blades.

Prepare a straw to serve as the shaft, then attach a round-cut piece of cardstock and brightly colored origami paper to complete the blade section.

Make a hole in the center of the shaft as well, assemble everything so it spins, thread it through the straw, and insert it into the handle.

Wrap thread around it, pull, and pass it through a bead—the moment you pull, the blades will spin.

With a bit of ingenuity, you can change the look and the strength of the wind and enjoy the freedom of creativity.

It’s an idea that lets you repurpose scrap materials to create a one-of-a-kind project.
