Simple yet amazing crafts: craft ideas that elementary school students will want to make

Tape Balloon

Anyone who couldn’t make balloons with dollar-store double-sided tape, gather up! I found a way that absolutely works!

These are fun, tactile tape balloons you can make using double-sided tape from a 100-yen shop.

It’s popular and easy to make if you use Crocodile Grip, a gel tape with strong adhesive power.

Materials include Crocodile Grip, clips, and a hand air pump.

First, cut the double-sided tape to about 4 cm, fold it in half over the pump nozzle, and seal the edges firmly.

Next, peel off the clear protective film on the surface and secure both ends with clips.

Pump in air, then slowly remove the pump and seal the opening with your fingers.

Once you get the hang of it, you can add glitter or other decorations at the beginning to make a cute, sparkly transparent balloon.

Butterfly flower hair clip

[Summer Vacation Craft] Butterfly & Flower Clips – also lovely as interior decor

Let’s make adorable butterfly and flower clips.

In the video, the butterfly part uses store-bought pieces, but you can also cut your own from sturdy materials like construction paper.

First, decorate the butterfly freely with colored pencils or beads.

Then simply use a hot glue gun to attach the butterfly to a clip, and you’re done! You can make the flowers the same way: punch out lots of flower shapes from origami or construction paper, layer them, and glue them to a clip.

They’re perfect not only for holding books and notebooks, but also as cute interior decorations.

These bright, cheerful accessories will liven up your mood—give them a try!

Clay fake sweets

[Sweets Deco] Great for summer vacation crafts! Easy faux sweets made with only 100-yen store materials! [DIY paper clay sweets]

They look just like real sweets—let’s try making cute, delicious-looking sweets deco! You might think it’s hard, but it’s actually very easy, and amazingly, you can make it using only materials from a 100-yen shop! The materials are small paper cups, paper clay, modeling clay, acrylic paints, and deco parts.

You can also use things you already have at home, like newspaper and wood glue.

Stuff the paper cup with paper clay or newspaper, place a cone-shaped base on top, and pipe on clay cream.

There are dedicated deco parts you can use, and beads would work too.

It would be adorable as a keychain as well!

Handmade okonomiyaki craft

@n.annlee321

I already posted how to make okonomiyaki before. ☺️✨#HandmadeToysSummer Vacation CraftChildcare

♬ Athletic Meet “Heaven and Hell” (No Introduction) – Shinonome

Let’s try making okonomiyaki and yakisoba—just like the ones you see at summer festival stalls—using craft materials! Here, we mainly introduce how to make the griddle and spatula.

Feel free to create the okonomiyaki and yakisoba themselves using yarn, felt, and other materials.

For the griddle, cut 2 cm-wide strips from both long edges of a color foam board and attach silver origami paper to them.

Then cover the remaining center piece with black construction paper to form the griddle surface, and glue it between the cut side pieces.

Also attach 1 cm-wide strips of silver origami along the top and bottom edges of the griddle.

Draw in the vent openings, and it’s complete! For the spatula, cut a milk carton into a spatula shape and cover it with aluminum foil—that’s all you need!

Rice made from yarn

@n.annlee321

What kind of rice do you like? 🙂#tiktok classroomLife with children#HandmadeToys#AtHomePlay

Good music – neguse.

Let’s make a rice mascot that conveys warmth by making the most of yarn’s soft look.

The steps are to bundle yarn wound around a fork and then cut it; the key is shaping it so it ends up looking like rice.

Place it in a bowl or lunchbox-style container you made separately, and aim for an even more appetizing look with additional decorations.

Plain white rice can look too simple, so try mixing in other colors as you wind the yarn, or add side dishes you’ve crafted separately—both are great options.
