Recommended crafts for adult hobbies: a stylish and cute collection of works (21–30)
Cute crafts for the kitchen
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.
mini bag
This mini bag, which can hold cards and small items, can be made using only supplies from a 100-yen shop! The main item you’ll use is a soft B6-size card case.
With a sheet of paper placed inside the case, cut it 3 cm down from the opening.
Next, remove the paper you put inside, cut a piece of decorative paper to the same size, and decorate it with stickers or other design paper as you like.
Then insert the decorated paper into the card case, use the offcut from the card case you first trimmed to make gusset pieces, and attach them.
Finally, add a snap or tuck lock to secure the flap, and you’re done.
There are quite a few steps, but you’ll end up with a very polished piece, so take your time and enjoy the process.
How to make a watermelon bar squishy
Looks just like a real ice pop!? Juicy to the eye and satisfyingly squishy to the touch, the “Watermelon Bar Squishy” is an adorable handmade craft perfect for summer.
It’s an easy yet highly polished project, especially recommended for upper-grade girls.
Start with a sponge from the 100-yen shop and cut it into the shape of a watermelon ice bar.
Carefully paint a red–green–white gradient with acrylic paints.
Recreate the seeds realistically using black paint or clay.
A wooden stick works perfectly for the ice pop handle.
People are sure to say, “That looks delicious!” It’s cute to look at and fun to touch—give this delightful summer science/craft project a try!
Watermelon tissue box
Let’s make a watermelon-shaped tissue box that’s perfect for summer.
First, take the tissues out of the tissue box.
Turn the box on its side, cut along the side, and split it into two pieces.
Fold one piece down the middle, snip a slit, and bend it to a 90-degree angle.
On the other piece, make a slit as well and attach it to the folded piece.
Put the tissues back in and glue construction paper to the sides.
Create an opening for pulling out the tissues, and finish by applying fabric or paper so it looks like a watermelon.
The rounded, sliced-watermelon-style tissue box is super cute!
A round box with a lid
A small storage box can also serve as interior decor when placed in your room.
Let’s try making a round lidded trinket box using a tissue box.
Cut the tissue box into long rectangles or circles and assemble the pieces.
Once finished, the tissue box’s pattern will become a lovely design on the box.
For this project, tissue boxes with decorative designs are recommended.
It also looks great if you attach fabric to the sides of the box.
Thinking about what to put inside and where to place it will be an enjoyable part of the process, too.
[Crochet] Flower Bookmark
![[Crochet] Flower Bookmark](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ePfPKQ6nX4o/sddefault.jpg)
We’re introducing a crochet flower bookmark that captures the warm feel unique to hand-knitting.
Gather yarn, a crochet hook, a tapestry needle, beads, scissors, and a threader to get started.
Use the crochet hook and yarn to chain stitch and form the stem and leaves.
Next, make the focal flower.
The key is to crochet the flower carefully to create a three-dimensional look.
Since this will be a bookmark, it’s best to choose yarn that isn’t too thick.
Adding beads to the center of the flower with glue will make it even cuter.
Give it a try!
Leather magnetic bookmark
Introducing a smart leather magnetic bookmark with a sophisticated, grown-up vibe.
While imagining how it will clip onto a book page, attach two magnets to the leather.
Glue the leather together so that the magnets are sandwiched inside.
Then stitch the leather with thread.
Once the glue has dried, fold it in half, sand the edges all around, and you’re done.
It grips firmly, so you won’t have to worry about the bookmark slipping out.
Give this practical and stylish leather magnetic bookmark a try!
Resin bookmark
Introducing a resin bookmark with a fresh, crystal-clear look.
Prepare resin liquid, a mold for pouring the resin, flower chips and sparkly beads, and a ribbon if you like.
Pour the resin into the mold.
When choosing the mold, it helps to imagine the bookmark’s shape and the size you want to make.
Add flower chips and the like to the poured resin and let it cure.
Pressed flowers or beads you love would also look adorable.
Once the resin bookmark has hardened, make a hole and thread a ribbon through it if you like—that’s it! It also makes a great gift for someone special.
Tealight lamp shade
Make it with a single sheet of origami! Here’s an idea for a lampshade for tea lights.
This lampshade is used for candles placed in small cups.
This time, let’s try making a lampshade out of origami for use with string lights.
What you’ll need: one sheet of origami paper, a ruler, a craft knife, and string lights.
Choose a translucent origami paper so the light softly shines through for a soothing effect.
It’s also lovely to spend time finding a design that matches your taste or interior décor.
square bag
@n.annlee321 A cool-looking square bag design 💕 Perfect for a summer vacation craft project, too 🥰🫶✨#100-yen-shop#100-yen shop DIY#Summer VacationSummer Vacation CraftDaiso
♬ Good luck to me tomorrow – NANAOAKARI
Let me introduce a square bag made with fluffy yarn.
We’ll use clear bag parts sold at 100-yen shops.
The bag parts will serve as the bottom of the bag.
Because they’re transparent, even though we use yarn, the bag still feels cool and airy.
Cut craft mesh, then stitch yarn onto the mesh with a needle so the yarn catches on the grid.
Connect the bag parts and the yarn-stitched mesh together with yarn.
For the handles, use chenille stems (pipe cleaners).
Adding pearls to the stems makes it even cuter.
Finish by attaching ruffles to the edge of the bag with double-sided tape.
It’s a breezy, lovely bag that both adults and kids will want to carry.
