[For Adults] Fun Craft Ideas Perfect for Killing Time

small pouch with handle

You can make that with bamboo from DAISO! #100yenShop #100yenDIY #DAISO #YouTube #YouTubeShorts

Let me introduce a small handled organizer made from straws.

Lately, you often hear the word “sustainable,” meaning environmentally friendly.

Bamboo straws, which are an eco-conscious alternative to plastic, are even sold at 100-yen shops.

Take 10 bamboo straws and secure them together with glue, then attach them to a small wooden plate with holes.

Glue bamboo straws to both sides as well, insert a bamboo straw into the plate’s hole, and it’s complete.

It’s perfect for holding remote controls or seasonings.

Since it’s made of bamboo and wood, you can create a piece that feels warm and handmade.

Handheld fan made from scrap materials

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

Let’s make a realistic-looking handheld fan out of recycled materials! It won’t produce wind, but you can enjoy watching it spin.

First, poke a hole in the center of two popsicle sticks, thread a bamboo skewer through them to make the propeller, and connect two toilet paper rolls, covering them with origami paper to create the handle.

Cut a circle from thick paper, cover it with origami paper, and punch a hole in the center to make the part behind the propeller.

Slide a short piece of straw onto the bamboo skewer of the propeller, then pass it through the circular part and attach the circle to the handle.

Let the bamboo skewer extend out above the handle, wrap kite string around it, then cut a slit in the handle to guide and secure the string.

Make a hole on the side of the handle, thread the kite string through, and add a bead to the end of the string—and you’re done!

Seria’s fluffy chenille stems [How to Make a Mold Doll] Fuzzy chenille bear

This guide shows you how to make soft, cute dolls using pipe cleaners with fluffy fibers attached.

Even though they’re fuzzy, the core is still a pipe cleaner, so you can freely change the shape by bending and twisting to add curves.

Once you shape it like a framework, combine other pipe cleaners there to complete the overall base.

While deciding what pose the doll will take, adjust the angles, then assemble the small parts to create its expression as well.

Flower fidget spinner

A festive plum blossom hand spinner ☺️✨#2022#tiktok classroomLife with children#VideoYouCan'tHelpButWatch

♬ Relaxing cute everyday BGM – Hiraoka

How about making your own hand spinner that twirls between your fingers or on a desk, finished in a cute flower shape? Use two circles cut from cardboard for the finger pads, connect them with a toothpick to form the axle, and attach the spinning flower piece between them, leaving a slight gap as you assemble the axle.

The way it spins will change depending on the gap between your fingers and the rotating part, as well as the size of the hole the toothpick passes through, so try building it while experimenting with ways to make it spin longer.

Flower Hand-cranked Spinning Top

A hand-spun top that you spin with your palm ☺️✨Summer Vacation Craft#tiktok classroomLife with children#HandmadeToys

♬ Monkeys Spinning Monkeys – Kevin MacLeod & Kevin The Monkey

Let’s make a hand-spun top that you spin vigorously with your hand, designed with a cute, flower-inspired look.

We’ll use a disposable chopstick as the top’s axle, and wrap long, folded strips of paper around it to form the shape of the top.

Everyone should clearly imagine their favorite flower and think about which colors of paper will best match that flower.

Wrapping the paper tightly is the key to making the whole piece sturdy and ensuring it spins well.

An hourglass made of straws

@silk_haru3mama

Summer vacation craft 🌻 It's fun—when you flip it over like an hourglass, the straws flow down! ⌛️#Summer VacationSummer Vacation Craft#AtHomePlay#HandmadeToysworkEducational toy#craft

♬ Another Day of Sun from La La Land [ORIGINAL COVER] – SoundWorks

Let’s make a toy where short straws fall like an hourglass.

First, cut a wire to 40 cm and wrap it around a pencil to make a spring.

Prepare two small paper cups and make a hole in the center of each bottom; thread one cup onto one end of the spring and secure it.

Stretch the spring and thread short, cut pieces of straw onto it.

Then thread and secure the other paper cup on the opposite end.

To prevent the spring from expanding and contracting, bridge two chopsticks between the two cups and glue them in place, and you’re done! Decorate the paper cups and chopsticks with masking tape or stickers to make it cute.
