Candy Magnet

[Easy Recipe] How to Make Candy Magnets from Fabric Scraps – Summer Vacation Craft, Recycled, Magnetic, Easy Fabric Accessory / How to Make a Candy Magnet / DIY / Easy

Here’s a simple way to make candy-shaped magnets using materials from a 100-yen shop.

First, glue a magnet to the inside of a plastic bottle cap.

Next, fold the edge of a fabric scrap inward, wrap the cap with the fabric, and cinch the sides.

Wind thread around it to secure, then stitch it in place with a needle and thread, and your cute candy-shaped magnet is done.

The look changes depending on the fabric color, and displaying several together creates a fun vibe.

They’re lightweight and easy to attach to a refrigerator or whiteboard, combining practicality with a playful touch.

Give it a try!

Making Kadomatsu out of construction paper

Preschool & Kindergarten: Kadomatsu Craft Ideas for New Year’s DIY

This craft project is appealing for its simplicity—you can make it almost entirely with construction paper.

Without any special materials, just by cutting, rolling, layering, and gluing colored paper, you can create a surprisingly authentic kadomatsu.

Preparation is easy, so it’s perfect for recreational activities or at-home craft time, and anyone can try it casually, which is a big plus.

The making process is fun and hands-on, and once you display the finished piece, you’ll feel a sense of accomplishment and growing excitement for the New Year.

It’s a highly recommended seasonal craft.

New Year’s decoration with a crane and a folding fan

[Paper Craft] New Year’s Decorations at the Day Service

Here are some New Year’s decoration ideas using cranes and fans.

Make the crane by folding origami.

For the fan, accordion-fold a sheet of origami paper, bring the two ends together, fold it in half, and glue the inside to hold its shape.

For the ornament with the characters “Geshun” (Welcoming Spring), fold a strip of construction paper in half, then fold both ends slightly, overlap those folded sections, and glue them together.

Once it forms a signboard shape, attach a piece of paper with “Geshun” written on it to the front.

After you’ve attached the crane, fan, and “Geshun” ornament to the base, punch out some small round pieces and scatter them around to finish with a festive touch.

♪ Original song – Yuumaaama – Yuumaaama

Let’s make a tabletop kadomatsu (traditional New Year’s pine decoration) using a milk carton.

We’ll place decorative elements that form the kadomatsu inside pieces cut from the carton.

There are detailed steps such as folding origami or construction paper and cutting short lengths of plastic ribbon.

Because it uses fine motor skills extensively, it can stimulate the brain and may offer brain-training benefits.

It’s also a project that can help improve concentration.

Starting from a simple milk carton and building it up into a splendid kadomatsu is likely to delight older adults as well.

♬ Hundred Miles – Sped Up Version – YALL

How about a hobby horse craft that makes clever use of paper tubes and twigs? Cut corrugated cardboard into the shape of a horse’s profile and make slits in both the cardboard and a paper tube, then secure them with a hot glue gun.

Attach four twigs to the body to serve as legs, and fix slightly curved twigs to each side.

Those curved twigs are the key to creating that gentle rocking motion! Once you make the mane and tail with string or yarn, your hobby horse is complete.

Put the twigs you collected on a walk or from your garden to good use and create a charming hobby horse.

Tissue Paper Art: Horse

@vero624330

Horse… Texture art with tissue paper #diy#cute#animals#shortvideo

♬ She Share Story (for Vlog) – Yui Yamaguchi

We’d like to introduce a horse artwork in the style of torn-paper collage using tissue paper.

First, prepare a sketch of the horse’s outline.

Instead of coloring it in, tear tissue paper into small pieces and tint them with paint.

Once dry, lightly roll or stretch the pieces to shape them, then glue them onto the sketch.

You’ll end up with a softly textured, three-dimensional piece.

The fluffy feel evokes the horse’s coat and gives a warmth that’s different from ordinary coloring.

There are no difficult steps, and it doesn’t require much strength, making it perfect for older adults.

By changing the colors you use, you can create a white horse, a chestnut horse, and more—tailoring the expression to your liking.

Let’s try making an adorable horse using a paper tube and colored construction paper.

Draw the horse’s face and legs on thick paper to create templates, then trace them onto brown construction paper and cut them out.

Wrap the colored paper around the paper tube to form the body, and attach a yarn mane to the head.

Use white and pink paper to make and glue on the mouth, eyes, and ears.

Once you add the saddle—a piece of equipment for a rider—then fix the tail and legs in place, it’s complete! This horse ornament, fun to look at, is sure to bring comfort to older adults.

It’s easy to make with familiar materials, so give it a try.
