[For Girls] Make It with Everyday Items! Easy but Super Cute Craft Ideas

Handmade chenille keychain

Let’s make a cute bee keychain.

First, stick double-sided tape all over a chenille stem and shape it into a rectangle.

Wrap a yellow chenille stem around it, then wrap a brown one to create the stripes.

Make wings from a clear file sheet, attach them to the body with the brown chenille stem, and add eyes.

Finally, attach the keychain hardware and you’re done! With a bit of creativity, you can make all kinds of insects and animals, so try making your own original keychains.

An ehou-maki that makes you want to take a big bite

You can even use it for pretend play! Why not try making an ehomaki that looks so real you’ll want to eat it? It’s super cute and looks just like the real thing! Cut a pool noodle and wrap black felt around the sides.

Take two circles of thick paper, glue white yarn onto them in a spiral to represent white rice, and attach them to the top and bottom of the pool noodle.

Then use felt and beads to make tuna, salmon, cucumber, salmon roe, and more.

Stick them on top of the “rice,” and you’re done!

Cute goldfish scooping

[Summer Vacation Craft] Goldfish Scooping ♪ <Cardboard> [Cute Festival Craft] Independent Research • Cardboard Craft • Playable Craft • Pretend Play

When you think of summer, you think of festivals—and goldfish scooping, right? Let’s make a cute, handmade goldfish scooping game and have some fun! Prepare a cardboard box as the base and cut several slits into the sides.

Thread a thick blue string across the slits to represent water and create an aquarium.

Next, cut a paper cup to make a ring from the rim.

Attach a popsicle stick as the handle, and glue tissue paper to the inside of the ring to complete the poi (scooper).

Finally, tie individually wrapped candies with rubber bands, add eyes to make goldfish, and you’re done.

Arrange the goldfish in the aquarium and try scooping them up with the poi!

lampshade

I tried making a lampshade! Perfect for a summer vacation project—my child and I had fun making it together 😊

Here’s a lampshade idea that also works as room decor.

Brush glue mixed with water onto an inflated balloon, then stick on small torn pieces of washi paper.

For sturdiness, layer the washi several times until the balloon’s color isn’t very visible.

Be sure to leave an opening where the light will go.

Since washi is white, use tissue paper if you want to add color.

Once it’s completely dry, pop the balloon and remove it, then secure a wire along the inside edge of the opening for the light to finish it off.

Experimenting with resin?!

[Complete in one day] Summer research project: Experimenting with resin!? #resin #summerproject #howtosummarize

If you want to try your hand at making things with resin, why not purchase a resin craft kit? It comes with all the basic materials and tools, so you can start creating right away.

Deciding what shape to make and which parts to decorate with—and bringing your ideas to life—is a lot of fun.

While resin is often used for crafts, you can also do experiments, such as comparing how quickly different resin liquids cure! If it’s your first time, please work together with a parent or guardian.
