[For Kids] Today’s Handmade Craft Ideas

eraser stamp

Have you ever made an eraser stamp?

It’s about making stamps by carving erasers and cutting grooves into them.

The appeal is that the material is familiar and easy to work with.

First, you draw the design you want to turn into a stamp on the eraser, but because drawing on a small eraser is tricky, I recommend transferring your drawing using tracing paper and a mechanical pencil.

Once the design has been transferred to the eraser, carve it with a craft knife or similar tool to complete the stamp.

Including the time spent thinking about what design to choose for the person you’re giving it to, I think it’s a fun craft project.

shikishi (decorative square paper board for calligraphy or artwork)

Graduation gift handmade message board completion video 2 🌸 A gift for the teacher

Shikishi boards, often used for group messages, are great for writing notes or attaching photos and giving as a gift—but why not try a more elaborate arrangement? The video here introduces a shikishi with pop-up, three-dimensional mechanisms like those in pop-up books.

By flipping or pulling sections, you can reveal hidden messages.

This is especially recommended for those who are good at origami and paper crafts.

Try creating an original, epic masterpiece!

Slide message

[Document Creation] A Simple Way to Make One Slide, One Message

How about making a sliding message card that’s perfect for sending a note of thanks and expressing your appreciation? It’s easy if you use your favorite stickers or illustrated cards.

Take two sheets of colored paper cut to the same size, stack them, punch a hole at the top with a hole punch, and fasten the two cards with a ribbon while decorating them.

Tie the ribbon in a way that allows the top and bottom cards to slide.

May your feelings be conveyed clearly!

snow globe

[Handmade] How to easily make a snow globe with a 100-yen shop Miffy figure and supplies ✨ You can get all the materials at the 100-yen shop, so you can make it right away!

It’s an ornament that feels like it traps a beautiful scene of snow gently drifting down inside the narrow space of a jar.

You can easily make a snow globe by filling the jar with a mixture of water and liquid starch (or laundry glue) and adding glitter.

Before pouring in the liquid, you attach whatever you want to showcase to the bottom of the jar, and choosing and decorating that focal point is important.

You could place a character everyone recognizes and arrange the scene around it, or it might be fun to use a memorable photo related to graduation.
