Chocolate made from scrap materials

Beautiful, like sparkling gemstones! Let me share an idea for making chocolate out of scrap materials.

You’ll need plastic bottle caps, foil origami paper, aluminum foil, wrapping materials, and decorative stickers.

This idea is a Valentine’s craft you can make using plastic bottle caps.

Adding decorative stickers makes it even more charming, so I highly recommend it! The finished crafts look adorable displayed in a gift box.

Paper Cup: Talking Goblin Doll that Opens and Closes Its Mouth

[Setsubun Craft] A Talking Oni Puppet Made from a Paper Cup! [For 5-Year-Olds] (ASMR-style Video)

Let’s make a chatty ogre puppet that opens and closes its mouth using a paper cup.

All you need are a paper cup and colored construction paper.

Cut a slit from the rim (the drinking edge) down to the base of the cup, then make an identical slit on the opposite side so they’re symmetrical.

Open the cup wide along the slits, and crease the base to create a hinge.

Cover the base with pink construction paper.

On the upper side, trim off the edge, then attach an ogre face made from colored paper.

Attach the body to the lower half, and you’re done.

It’s a fun craft that you can play with after making it.

Holly and sardines

Items that ward off demons! Here’s an idea for making a “holly and sardine” charm.

You’ll need a straw, green wrapping sheet, newspaper, tape, glue, aluminum tape or aluminum foil, white round stickers, and a black pen.

First, cut the wrapping sheet into leaf shapes.

It’s best if you can capture the spiky shape characteristic of holly leaves! Next, attach the cut leaves to the straw, roll up some newspaper, and stick it to the end of the straw.

Finally, shape the newspaper into a sardine, wrap it with aluminum foil, and you’re done!

Swaying snowflake hanging ornament

Let’s create with a variety of materials and techniques! I’ll introduce a hanging ornament of gently swaying snowflakes.

Here’s what you’ll need: construction paper, scissors, paint, craft glue, aluminum foil, cotton, ribbon, crayons, pom-poms, origami paper, and cotton swabs.

Try making snowflakes using different techniques! When the wind blows, the snowflakes attached to the ribbon sway softly and are soothing, so I highly recommend it.

Be sure to have fun making it together with the kids!

Choco box-style scratch card

Let’s make a message card with a fun surprise! Here’s an idea for a scratch card like a chocolate box.

You’ll need thick paper, a black pen, colored pens, scissors, clear tape, colored construction paper, dish soap, and acrylic paint.

If a regular message card feels a bit boring, try making this trick card—perfect for older kids! It’s exciting and delightful to both give and receive a cute card.

Chocolate bark magnet

It looks just like real chocolate! Introducing chocolate bark magnets.

Here’s what you’ll need: craft glue, acrylic paint, decorative craft materials such as embellishments, a magnetic sheet, and scissors.

First, spread acrylic paint mixed to a chocolate color and craft glue over the magnetic sheet.

Next, sprinkle on your decorative materials like craft parts.

Finally, let it dry for about two days, then cut it with scissors and you’re done! Wrap them up and they look adorably like real chocolate.

Snowflakes made with yarn

Let’s make it by twirling and wrapping! Here’s a snowflake craft made with yarn.

You’ll need chopsticks or small wooden branches, scissors, yarn, and craft glue.

First, cut the chopsticks and secure them together with yarn.

Next, wrap the yarn around the chopsticks.

Changing yarn colors as you wrap makes it extra cute! Finally, tie off the yarn on the back to finish.

Hang it up for a natural look that brings a calm, cozy feeling! Try using your favorite colors and different yarn textures or lengths.
