Technology has advanced to the point where you can even make real cars with a 3D printer, so there’s no reason not to use it.

You could create all sorts of things—figures of your teacher, the school’s Madonna, the class hero, and more.

lottery drum

Garapon lottery machines—often seen at raffles—are wooden boxes with a handle that you turn, and the color of the ball that comes out decides the prize tier, with the chance to win lavish rewards.

How about making one of those garapon machines out of cardboard? It’s easy to put together with just cardboard, a utility knife, and a hot glue gun.

You could use your homemade garapon for a raffle, or create an oversized version that grabs attention and becomes a talking point.

And don’t forget to have a bell ready for when someone hits the jackpot!

It’s not widely known how sturdy cardboard can be.

This video shows the process of recreating the Heavy Bowgun— the familiar weapon from the Monster Hunter games—using nothing but cardboard.

It’s an impressive piece that even fires ammunition properly.

How about using it when cosplaying as a hunter at a school festival?

phonograph

Simple Handmade Phonograph
phonograph

Before CDs became widespread, it was common to listen to music on analog vinyl records.

Since it isn’t digital processing, the sound is reproduced by running a needle along the grooves etched into the disc.

In other words, if you have a record that can be spun, a needle, and a speaker, you can hear the sound.

DIY kits are available on the market, but since it’s the school festival, let’s build one ourselves and play an old record in front of everyone.

A vacuum cleaner made from a plastic bottle!

A crazy attempt to make a vacuum cleaner using a 1.5-liter plastic bottle, empty cans, and a motor! The idea of cutting an empty can into a propeller-like shape to create airflow is impressive.

In the video, the suction power is zero, but with repeated improvements, it might just become somewhat practical.
