Cute even as interior decor! Here are some ideas for mini baskets.

Adding colorful, pop-style decor will brighten up your room.

They can also bring back memories of when you received them, warming your heart.

You’ll need paper cups, scissors, yarn, a hot glue gun, lace, artificial flowers, wire, and more.

A key point is that you’re free to choose the size, colors, and design.

Try making one while imagining the person you’d like to give it to.

Corinth game

[Cardboard Craft] Launch Marbles Skillfully! How to Make a Corinth Game (Pinball Machine)
Corinth game

How about making a Corinth game that you could probably put together right now with materials you have at home? It’s a game where you build a base out of cardboard and launch marbles one by one to aim for high scores.

It’s played the same way as a Smart Ball game.

The launcher section requires a bit of delicate work, but once you get past that, there’s a lot of freedom—you can place the scoring areas however you like.

You can also make the base colorful or add characters.

I recommend it as a craft project that’s fun to play with even after you’ve finished making it.

A lamp shade with a soft, round texture that’s adorably charming.

It’s nice that you can make it just by inflating a water balloon, wrapping colorful cotton yarn around it, and letting it dry.

What you’ll need: water balloons, cotton yarn, glue, LED string lights, batteries, and a brush.

For the paste to stick the yarn, put glue in a container, add a little water, and brush it on.

After letting it dry completely for 1–2 days, pop the balloon inside and it’s done.

Make several in different colors for a vibrant piece that fits perfectly into your interior decor.

Using jute twine instead of cotton yarn will give it a different look.

Aroma Fragrance

[Summer Vacation Independent Research][Summer Vacation Craft][DIY] Done in 5 minutes! Super easy! Recommended for elementary school girls! How to make an aroma fragrance (air freshener) using a cold pack
Aroma Fragrance

If you’re looking for an easy, summery craft, I recommend making an aroma fragrance jar! Prepare a jar, gel ice packs, blue food coloring, essential oils, and decorations like marbles or seashells.

First, fill the jar about one-third full with the gel from the ice packs and add the food coloring to tint it.

Once the color is set, add more gel and a few drops of your favorite essential oil.

Finally, add the decorations and put the lid on—you’re done! Using blue food coloring with marbles or seashells makes it look like you’ve captured the sea inside the jar.

Try creating one with your favorite theme!

Handmade toy from an empty snack box

Handmade toy from an empty snack box

Make it with an empty snack box! Here’s how to create a pom‑pom shooting game! First, prepare an empty box that once held something like Choco Pie.

Reinforce the back by attaching a wooden stick so the lid can stay open.

Next, glue wooden sticks to the top and bottom of a wooden clip and wrap a rubber band around it.

Attach a plastic bottle cap to one end, and fix the other end to the back of the box.

Finally, stick a few small paper cups inside the box wherever you like, and you’re done.

Set a cotton ball in the bottle cap and launch it with a pop—have fun playing!
