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

Handmade Happy Noodles

Looks just like the real thing! Let’s handcraft some happy noodles.

Flatten a cotton ball made from yellow embroidery thread to form a lump of noodles.

Also, wrap another embroidery thread around chopsticks and soak it in water mixed with liquid starch.

Once it dries and you remove it, it will turn into curly noodles, so make some of those too.

Use a small paper cup as the container and attach a package label you designed with a design app.

Put in the noodles and a packet of toppings, then stick on the lid to finish! You might even be able to use it as a keychain if you add some parts.

Push Pop

[Origami] How to Make a Push Pop — Origami POP IT Paper Craft DIY Cute Craft Papiroflexia Origami

Why not try making an irresistibly satisfying push pop with origami? You’ll feel that little “pop” as it indents when you press it with your finger.

Fold two boxes of the same size from origami paper, then use the bottom surface to create the push section.

Flip them over, glue them together vertically and horizontally, and you’re done.

A push pop you can use when you’re bored, when your thoughts won’t come together and your hands need something to do, or as a little brain wake-up when you’ve just gotten out of bed.

Try making them with different colors of origami paper and combine your favorite colors!

A piggy bank with a wagging tail

How to Make a Tail-Wagging Piggy Bank [Paper Clay, Swan, Creative Piggy Bank]

When it comes to classic summer independent projects, a “piggy bank” is a staple.

The “Yucho Idea Piggy Bank Contest” held by Japan Post Bank is also well-known.

You might think, “Have all the ideas been used up by now?” but every year a lot of creative piggy banks appear.

So, here’s one to introduce: the “wagging-tail piggy bank.” The simple mechanism is that the weight of the coin you drop in makes the tail sway gently.

If you expand on this mechanism, you could adapt the idea to things like a fishing game or a dinosaur’s neck.

We recommend using air-dry paper clay, which you can paint once it dries!

Apple trinket box

Plastic Bottle Craft: How to Make a Cute Apple Trinket Holder | Easy Summer Vacation Project ♪ Adorable Candy Pot DIY – Pet Bottle How-To Tutorial

This is a small apple-shaped container made using the shape of the bottoms of plastic bottles.

Prepare two bottles of the same size; cut one about 8 cm up from the bottom and the other about 4 cm up to make the body and the lid.

Use the leftover pieces to make a leaf and paint it with green acrylic paint.

Once the paint dries, roll up a piece of paper to serve as the apple’s stem, attach the leaf, and glue it to the lid with a hot glue gun.

The cut edges of the bottles can be sharp, so it’s safer to cover them with clear tape or similar.

By changing the size of the bottles, you can make apples in various sizes!

Kaleidoscope in an ice cup

[Elementary School Summer Crafts / Independent Research] 🌻 Kaleidoscope with Ice Cream Cups

A kaleidoscope where you can enjoy geometric, mysterious pattern changes.

Let’s make such a kaleidoscope using an ice cream cup.

First, use nail polish remover to erase the letters and designs from two ice cream cup lids.

Next, cut aluminum foil to your preferred length, fold it three times to make a long, narrow rectangle, then cut it into shorter pieces, roll each into a tube, and secure with tape.

Make many small tubes and pack them tightly into the ice cream cup without gaps.

Then put on a lid and sprinkle beads or pieces of translucent origami paper cut into small shapes on top.

Finally, place the other lid on top and tape it in place to finish.

Point it toward the sunlight and spin it around to play.
