The shredder was a fun crafting tool ☺️🙌 This is a piece my son made 😁 More details in the comments →#tiktok classroomLife with children#StayHomeTime

Let’s use the shredding function that cuts paper into fine strips to create various shapes.

We’ll use a hand-crank shredder, and by controlling where you stop shredding and other small tricks, you can make different parts and combine them.

Food motifs are an easy example: if you insert long, thin strips sideways and shred them even finer, they can look like a coating or breading; roll up long, thin strips and they’ll resemble shredded cabbage.

By layering parts and experimenting with how you bend them, you can also add a sense of three-dimensionality.

Think carefully about how to reproduce what you want to make.

Easy Spinning Top Made from a Milk Carton

Simple spinning top made from a milk cartonSummer Vacation CraftSummer Vacation Craft#HandmadeToys#HandmadeEducationalToy#Milk Carton Crafts#Milk carton#AtHomePlayworkSimple craftEducational toy#Summer Vacation

Fuzzy Navel – Conton Candy

Here’s an idea for making a spinning top you blow on using a milk carton.

First, cut the carton about 1.5 cm up from the bottom, then make slits at the four corners and open it up.

Next, rotating the carton in a consistent direction from each corner, cut along the edges of the bottom.

Leave about 1 cm uncut at the ends.

Bend the sections you just cut inward so they gather toward the center, and decorate with masking tape or stickers to finish.

If you blow straight down from above, it will spin around and around.

Picnic bag made from a box

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!

This is about layering different colors of salt in a glass to create a picture-like, beautiful look.

Start by making colors that match what you want to create: mix paint into the salt to prepare it.

Once your colored salt is ready, simply layer it into the glass.

It’s best to pay attention to the boundaries between colors and avoid overmixing.

After filling the glass, press the layers to compact them—you can aim for more complex shapes this way.

Try various patterns to see what you can achieve.

How about making your own version of your favorite snack package? First, buy the real product and carefully study its packaging.

Trace the shape onto construction paper or similar, and then recreate everything—the design and the text—just like the original.

After coloring it with pens or other materials, cut it out, assemble it, and you’re done.

It’s a task that requires patience, but the steps are very simple.

Find a package you love and give it a try!

Metal craft

Let’s try a metal craft project using soft wire you can find at 100-yen shops and similar stores.

First, come up with a few patterns that can be drawn in a single stroke.

After cutting the wire to an appropriate length, shape it to match the pattern.

If bending it by hand is difficult, it’s a good idea to use tools like pliers.

Once the shape is made, hammer it to flatten the joints.

Then cut transparent origami paper to fit the pattern, and attach it from the back with glue to finish.

Plastic bottle wind chime

Recommended crafts for girls ✨ Plastic-bottle wind chimes and jelly domes – binge-worthy at-home play! Crafts and educational activities for kids ★ Wakuwaku Parfait ★

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.
