[For Girls] Make It with Everyday Items! Simple Yet Super Cute Craft Ideas (71–80)
stuffed animal
Don’t you feel like making a plushie of your favorite character or one you’ve designed yourself using felt? Here’s an idea for a “plushie” you can make without sewing.
All you need is double-sided fabric tape, which you can find in the craft section of 100-yen shops.
Start by creating a pattern.
Use tracing paper to make even the small parts like the eyes and nose.
Then just cut the felt according to the pattern and stick the pieces together with the fabric tape.
Finally, stuff the body with filling and seal it with the double-sided tape, and you’re done! They’re so cute you might end up wanting to make a bunch of them.
glue gun basket
This is a craft project where you use a hot glue gun to draw lines along a mold to create a three-dimensional basket.
Draw lines around a bowl turned upside down, and once the glue hardens, simply peel it off to get a basket shape.
A key point is that you can aim for your own design by choosing the glue color and adding decorations.
If it seems like the glue might stick to the mold, it’s also recommended to wrap it in parchment paper before drawing the lines.
Because the steps are simple, you can enjoy many variations by changing the basket shape and the arrangement of the lines.
A lantern shade cut out from a milk carton
Let’s make a lantern with a filigree-like look using a milk carton.
The finer the details, the more delicate your lantern will be.
First, open up the milk carton and cut off the top and bottom.
Once you have a rectangle, peel off the printed layer starting from the edge.
When it becomes plain white paper, draw any design you like on it and cut it out.
You can also draw pictures in the open spaces.
Cut the top edge into any shape you like, such as zigzags or waves.
Place it over an LED light and switch it on to finish.
PET bottle kaleidoscope
How about making a sparkling, beautiful kaleidoscope that reveals a mysterious world when you peer inside? The materials are all very familiar: the main one is a plastic bottle, plus printer paper, cardstock, silver origami paper, and beads to put inside—most of which you probably have at home.
You’ll use the bottom and the neck of the plastic bottle as the body, and the middle section as material to go inside, so nothing goes to waste.
It’s hard to call it “very easy,” but it only has many steps—if you follow them in order, you can easily create your own original kaleidoscope.
Snowflakes made of yarn

After cutting three disposable chopsticks short, use two of them to make an X shape, then place it over the remaining stick set vertically and secure them with yarn.
Next, wrap more yarn around them to create a snowflake.
When wrapping, go one stick at a time: loop the yarn once around a stick, then move on to the next chopstick.
The yarn doesn’t have to be the same color—switching to a different yarn partway through creates a pretty pattern.
You’ll get a variety of snowflakes depending on how many wraps you make and the types of yarn you use, so try making several kinds.
