[For Girls] Make it with everyday items! Simple yet super cute craft ideas (21–30)
Infinite smartphone
It’s a smartphone-shaped toy that little kids are sure to love, letting them write and erase over and over.
First, put black paint and liquid laundry starch or clear glue into a small transparent zip bag.
Seal the bag, spread the contents evenly, then fold the opening over and secure it with cellophane tape.
Cut white cardstock to a smartphone size so it can be folded, cut out a window in the center of one side, and attach it with double-sided tape.
Color the backing with various colors using markers.
Fold it, round the four corners to create a smartphone design, and it’s done.
The squishy feel where you press is fun, too!
Torokira Keychain
Do you know those cute accessories with a little doll floating in a tiny plastic bag? You often see them as prizes at festival raffles, but actually, you can make them yourself.
You only need items mostly from a 100-yen shop—like a soft card holder, beads and glitter, liquid laundry starch, and masking tape—so it’s a budget-friendly craft project.
Add cutouts of your favorite character or idol to the decorations, and it instantly becomes merch for your fave! You’ll want to make them for everyone!
Canned Universe
Canned space—doesn’t it sound grand and cool? Overseas it’s called a galaxy jar, and it’s popular as a decor item.
It’s very easy to make, and you can create a jar that’s one of a kind in the world! All you need are an empty jar, cotton, glitter or sequins, and watercolor paint.
You can use a jar you have at home, or a plastic one from a 100-yen shop.
Pack the cotton tightly into the jar while adding water.
Add watercolor paint in your favorite colors between the jar and the cotton, gently blend the color, sprinkle in some glitter, and you’re done.
fake sweets
Making fake sweets sounds difficult, doesn’t it? You might be wondering things like, “I’ve never used resin clay,” or “Where can I buy it?” But you can actually make fake sweets with paper clay and wood glue! Put paper clay and wood glue into a plastic bag, add a little water, and knead well—this will work as a substitute for resin clay.
You can then make all kinds of fake sweets by shaping it to look like whipped cream! Add paint to the wood glue to create chocolate sauce or strawberry sauce, too!
Rosette-style magnet
Glamorous and cute! Here are some ideas for rosette-style magnets.
A rosette is a small, circular decoration typically used for badges or medals, but in recent years you often see stylish versions finished with colorful ribbons and pearls.
This time, let’s handcraft adorable rosette-style magnets that look just like store-bought items.
You’ll need wrapping ribbon, fabric, thick paper, a pencil, glue, scissors, stickers with your favorite designs, and pearl or rhinestone stickers.
Give it a try!
Sparkling hourglass
Let’s make a cute, sparkly hourglass that doubles as interior decor.
Prepare two small bottles, glitter to use as sand, a clear plastic file sheet, and decorative parts.
Cut the clear file slightly larger than the bottle opening and make a hole in the center for the glitter to pass through.
Attach tape and half-cover the hole, then glue it to the bottle.
Add the glitter and glue on the other bottle.
Finish it off cutely with decorative parts.
After adding the glitter, be careful not to turn it over until the adhesive has dried.
[OPP Tape] Original Sticker

You can easily make stickers using cute patterned origami, wrapping paper, or design paper! First, cut the origami into your favorite shapes.
Next, stick OPP tape onto a piece of parchment paper, then place the cut origami pieces on top.
Finally, apply another layer of OPP tape, press out the air, and cut each piece out with scissors—and you’re done! When cutting, it helps to leave a small margin around the design.
You can stick them in your planner or use them as accents for gift wrapping, so definitely try making your own original stickers.
