Recommended crafts for cultural festival exhibits. Ideas that are also perfect for venue decorations.

paper sumo

Dr. Rinpei’s Make-and-Play Science: Tap-Tap Paper Sumo

Let’s try making handmade paper sumo.

Create a ring (dohyō) and wrestlers, and give each wrestler a shikona (ring name).

If you also make a ranking list (banzuke), even better.

Get visitors involved too—hosting a “special tournament” at the school festival and having them compete for the championship is sure to be a hit.

Irritating Stick

Irritating Stick

It’s surprising how stressful a game can be when all you do is guide a rod through an electrified path without touching the sides, but once anyone starts, they’ll want to go “just one more time!” With a bit of ingenuity, you can create all sorts of variations, so I really hope you’ll give making one a try!

shrink plastic

How to make sea-glass-style tags with shrink plastic

When you think of shrink plastic keychains, many people may associate them with convenience but also a somewhat cheap look.

However, with a few simple tricks, you can create keychains with a distinctly different feel.

In this video, sanding the surface gives it a sea-glass-like texture.

They’re great as items for the whole class to wear or as decorations for a school festival.

gingerbread house

[Giant] I tried making a dream “candy house” with tons of sweets! How to Make a Huge Sweets House

Since it’s a school festival/cultural festival, let’s try something a little ridiculous that we normally couldn’t do.

That’s right—let’s do something like a “dream.” …So, how about we go ahead and build a “candy house”? The size depends on your budget and creativity.

Let’s finish something that will amaze everyone.

T-shirt printing with silk screen

Make Your Own Original T-Shirt! ~Silk Screen~

At school festivals, I think many classes make their own original T-shirts.

Don’t you think they become even more memorable if you make them yourselves? T-shirt printing might seem difficult to do on your own, but it’s surprisingly easy.

This will definitely help bring the class even closer together!

An air cannon with a plastic bottle?!

[Experiment] An air gun?! I tried making a PET-bottle air cannon! [Craft]

This is a video about making an air gun using only items you can buy at a convenience store.

You could call it a true air gun.

It’s assembled from things like a plastic bottle, a balloon, and duct tape, and it works on the principle that when you pull and release the balloon, compressed air shoots out.

Crafting with UV resin

Sailor Moon-style earrings made with budget UV resin materials

Let’s get some UV resin and small parts and make accessories! These days, you can even find resin and lots of parts at 100-yen shops.

You’ll need a UV light to cure the resin, but the fact that you can get everything else at a 100-yen shop makes it really convenient.

Use your favorite parts to create accessories or keychains!
