Let’s make a bamboo lantern
Here’s how to make a bamboo lantern that looks beautiful when it glows at night.
Use a saw to cut the bamboo.
Make slits in the cut bamboo, then gently tap from above with a hammer to create openings where the light will shine through.
The key is to tap with the hammer without using too much force.
Drill holes to create several small windows for the light to leak out.
Wrap yarn around the top and bottom of the bamboo tube, using double-sided tape to secure it.
Place an LED light inside, switch it on, and let it shine.
It emits a soft glow that gives off a traditional Japanese ambiance.
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!
Hand soap slime
This is a super stretchy, ultra-chewy slime made by adding foaming hand soap! Mix 200 ml of laundry glue with 2 tablespoons of white craft glue until well combined.
Add about 20 pumps of foaming hand soap and mix, then add a few drops of ink if you like.
Once you’ve got the color you want, gradually add borax water—made by dissolving 1 teaspoon of borax in 300 ml of lukewarm water—kneading as you go.
Knead by squeezing and stretching until it reaches your preferred firmness, and your hand soap slime is ready! Try adding modeling clay for a different texture.
felt ball
Here’s a felt ball idea! First, prepare your favorite felt and cut out 12 pentagons.
Sew them together with the right sides facing inward, turn it right side out, stuff it with cotton, and stitch it closed—that’s it! If you use felt in various colors, you’ll get a colorful ball, and it’s also a great idea to sew on characters kids love onto the pentagon pieces.
Classics might be Anpanman or Pokémon.
Animals or vehicles would surely be adorable, too!
Unicorn photo frame
This unicorn-themed photo frame is a great project to try with your child! First, prepare a photo frame you can find even at a 100-yen shop, and apply double-sided tape along the frame.
Using double-sided tape keeps hands clean, so kids can join in easily.
Stick your favorite yarn onto the frame, then make the unicorn’s ears and horn from felt and arrange them at the top of the frame.
You can also add lace, pom-poms, flowers, or ribbons to give it a festive finish! If you use a hot glue gun to attach parts, be sure to work together with an adult.
