Melon cream soda

Easy craft with 100-yen store materials: How to make melon cream soda. Perfect for summer vacation independent study or free craft projects. Requires few materials and is fun to make. Simple handmade 100-yen DIY for at-home time; homemade craft.

Melon cream soda is also appealing for its vibrant appearance—the green color topped with ice gives a refreshing feel, doesn’t it? This is about trying to recreate that beautiful, summery look of melon soda.

The steps are simple: put jelly clay into a plastic cup, insert a straw, and place a scoop of white clay “ice cream” on top.

Combine elements like jewel stones and glitter to make the most of the light and finish it with a sparkling look.

The closer it looks to the real thing, the more you might feel disappointed when you remember you can’t actually drink it.

Melamine sponge sandwich craft

Making sandwiches with a sponge♪Simple craft#Parent-Child CraftingworkLife with childrenSandwich

♬ Original song – Picoton / Crafts Class – Picoton 🐥 Easy 100-yen shop craft

How about making a delicious-looking sandwich out of a melamine sponge that you’ll just want to take on a picnic? It’s very easy to make! First, prepare a large, thick melamine sponge and cut it into a triangle, imagining the shape of a sandwich.

Use a craft knife to make a slit so you can insert the fillings.

Next, create the fillings—such as ham, lettuce, or spaghetti—using construction paper or yarn.

If you use colorful materials for the fillings, the result will look extra cute.

Finally, tuck the fillings into the sponge sandwich, and you’re done! Try making different fillings and have fun playing with them.

Tissue box bag

A tissue box transforms into an adorable shoulder bag!

A cute, rounded-rectangle shoulder bag—believe it or not, it’s made from an empty tissue box! It’s very easy to make.

Leave the bottom of the empty box attached, and cut a slit so the box can open cleanly in half.

On one side, cut away everything except the bottom and one side wall.

Use the piece you cut off to cover the tissue-dispensing opening.

The key is not to seal it completely.

This opening will hold the tab that acts as the bag’s clasp, keeping the lid firmly shut.

Punch holes, thread a cord for the strap, and decorate in your favorite colors to finish.

Cute crafts in the kitchen

Great for free craft time too! 'Cute Crafts in the Kitchen for Elementary School Kids' (Gakken) – children, parents and kids, DIY, at-home activities

Do you know the book “Cute Crafts in the Kitchen for Elementary School Students,” published by Gakken? It’s packed with fun craft ideas, including many that would be perfect for summer vacation projects and crafts.

Let me introduce one from the book: the “Paper Dome Cup.” The simple process is to coat a water balloon with glue, wrap it with Japanese paper or tissue paper, and once it’s dry, pop the balloon.

It doesn’t take much time, so it’s recommended even for those who are short on time.
