We’ll show you how to make an adorable picnic bag that’s a joy to open.
Prepare a one-piece box with an attached lid as the base.
Cut the box into your preferred picnic bag shape, then cover the entire surface with a makeover sheet that gives it a woven basket look.
Attach a handle and adhere fabric to the inside of the box to finish.
Any handle you like is fine.
As for fabric, a classic check pattern is always a good choice, but use your favorite.
Make some sandwiches and pop them in to complete a realistic-looking picnic bag!
Plastic bottle wind chime
Here’s an idea for an easy wind chime you can make with a plastic bottle.
Cut the bottle in half across the middle and make a hole in the center of the bottom piece.
Thread a string through the hole, attaching a strip of paper (tanzaku) and a bell to it.
Decorate the bottle, and you’re done.
Pens, nail polish, and decorative parts work well for embellishment.
To keep the string from slipping out, tie a short piece of a toothpick along the string as a stopper.
By taking advantage of the bottle’s translucence, you’ll get a cool, refreshing look.
If you’re looking for a summery craft idea, give this a try.
Deodorizing pot made with an ice pack
@poccle Easy with an ice pack! I made a cute bottled deodorizing pot—perfect for a science project or a fun craft at home ♥ #craftsProduction#StayHomeTime#AtHomePlayIndependent ResearchSummer vacation homework #NurseryTeacher#NurseryTeacherMomParentingCoolant packDeodorization

Do you have leftover cold packs from buying cakes and other treats sitting in your freezer? Here’s a deodorizing gel pot you can make with those cold packs—perfect as a summer science or craft project for upper elementary students.
Get your materials ready: cold packs, beads, a plastic container, an empty jar, colored markers, a bowl, water, and a stirring stick.
Squeeze the contents of the cold pack into the bowl, add water, and stir until it becomes a gel.
Color the bottom of the plastic container, then add the gelled cold pack and mix to tint it.
Spoon the mixture into the empty jar, add beads or other decorations, and you’re done.
It’s a simple deodorizing pot you can make with everyday items—try creating your own original version!
Eyeball Tile Coaster
Here’s an idea where you use cork coasters sold at 100-yen shops as a base and decorate them with stickers and more.
Lately, tile stickers that were popular in the Heisei era have been making a comeback, and you can find a variety of patterns at 100-yen shops as well.
Decorations using remake sheets—those you stick on furniture or walls—are also recommended.
With a bit of creativity, the possibilities are endless, so go ahead and make coasters full of originality!

A cute-looking strawberry roll cake squishy that’s perfect for a school science project.
Start by making the roll cake, then decorate it adorably with pink silicone whip! Experiment with color choices that make it look real and explore differences in texture as your theme.
It’s not only cute to look at, but also super squishy and soothing to the touch.
To make it even cuter, try adding strawberries, cookies, and pink pearls.
Displaying photos or the actual piece will surely convey the fun to anyone who sees it.
Sparkly inedible dessert
@mugimama_diy I tried making a sparkly, inedible dessert ✨ It looks like a light, doesn’t it? ✨✨#FakeSweetsResin#resinHandmade
♪ Original Song – Mugimama DIY 🧵🪡 – Mugimama DIY 🧵🪡
Why not try your hand at sweets art with “sparkly inedible desserts”? They look just like real jelly! But… in fact, they’re entirely handmade fake sweets.
Using resin sheets, glitter, and clear materials, this craft lets you create jewel-like desserts you can’t eat.
Their cute, mysterious look will captivate anyone who sees them! Most people will probably think, “I’ve always wanted to taste a dessert like this at least once.” They’re sure to be eye-catching, photogenic pieces.
Plus, put them on a light base and they glow! It’s the perfect finishing touch for a romantically charming sweet.
Corner clip rice balls and sandwiches
Let’s make onigiri rice balls and sandwiches using corner clips for holding papers! For the onigiri, stick double-sided tape on the clip, then attach white, long-pile yarn to it.
Next, glue a small square of black felt on top to act as the seaweed, and it’s done! It’s also fun to tuck pieces of felt that look like fillings into the gap of the clip.
For the sandwich, prepare white felt cut into a triangle like bread, and felt cut into shapes for ham and lettuce.
Stick them together with double-sided tape in the order of fillings, then bread, and you’re finished! You can customize both the onigiri and sandwiches by changing the colors of felt and the types of “fillings” you cut out.
