A Tissue Box Makeover! Let’s Play with a Handmade Camera [At-Home Art]

Creating a camera with a retro vibe is a great idea, too.

Start by covering a tissue box with black construction paper and assembling it into a rectangular shape.

Then finish it to your liking.

For example, you could use a plastic bottle cap as a pretend shutter, or use aluminum foil to imitate metal parts.

As a fun extra touch, you can attach a brown envelope.

Pulling a “photo” out of it will give you the feeling that you actually took a picture.

Sunflowers at the mall

How to make a sunflower with pipe cleaners | Pipe cleaner crafts: flowers, sunflower | Chenille stem craft, pipe cleaner art, pipe cleaner bear | 100-yen shop DIY
Sunflowers at the mall

How about making a vibrant sunflower with pipe cleaners? First, cut yellow pipe cleaners into short pieces, fold each in half and twist it, then fold it in half again and twist once more to form petals.

Once you have 16 petals, roll up a brown pipe cleaner to create the center of the flower.

Attach the petals to it with glue.

Next, use green pipe cleaners to make the leaves and stem.

Pipe cleaners are great because they’re easy to bend and cut.

You’ll end up with a lovely sunflower that has a soft, charming texture.

crown-shaped headband

crown-shaped headband

Let’s make a cute crown-shaped headband using a paper cup.

First, cut off the rim of the paper cup with scissors, then make multiple small triangles by cutting into the cup.

Attach two half-circle stickers so they sandwich each pointed tip of the triangles, and decorate around them with decorative stickers.

Finally, punch holes in the bottom part of the paper cup and thread the headband base through them to finish! You can also use pom-poms or other decorations on the pointed parts.

Try making it with any decorations you like!
