Simple and cute science project crafts! A collection of ideas girls will want to make (61–70)
Sweets Deco
How about trying your hand at making cute-looking sweets-themed deco crafts using only items from the 100-yen shop? It’s great that everything—paper cups, air-dry clay, and decorative parts—can all be purchased at the 100-yen store! The whipped cream that forms the base of the decoration is made by mixing wood glue into air-dry clay.
Plus, add some paint to the glue and it transforms into a deco sauce! Combine sauces and parts in your favorite colors to create uniquely original sweets.
If you add items like memo stand parts, it instantly becomes more practical—so give it a try!
basket
For those who enjoy papercraft, making a basket using paper cups is recommended.
This method is similar to traditional basket weaving.
First, prepare white and brown paper cups.
After cutting slits into each, weave them together to shape the basket.
It’s a delicate process, but the result is a finely crafted piece.
Using red or blue instead of brown can create a more playful, pop look.
By the way, the finished basket is perfect for holding small items or displaying artificial flowers.
Pom-pom Rug Mat
Let’s make a pom-pom rug that looks like something you’d find at an interior shop! You can easily make pom-poms all the same size by using two empty toilet paper rolls.
Make lots of pom-poms, then tie them one by one onto a non-slip rug pad, and you’re done! You can buy both the yarn and the non-slip pad at a 100-yen shop.
Depending on the size of the rug, you’ll need plenty of pom-poms, and tying them on can be a lot of work—but it’s worth it for the adorable result.
A round shape or even a heart shape would be absolutely cute!
Terrarium Made with Resin Clay
Do you know what a terrarium is? To put it simply, it’s the technique of keeping small animals or growing plants inside a small glass container.
You might have seen one without noticing, sitting on a barber’s counter or a library desk.
How about making a terrarium as a summer craft project? It’ll definitely grab your classmates’ attention.
First, decide on a theme.
Imagine a cool scene—an underwater landscape, a forest setting, or even one inspired by your favorite manga or anime characters.
Once you’ve chosen a theme, all that’s left is to create it using resin clay.
Adding real sand, stones, or twigs as accents will give your terrarium extra depth and variety.
paper clay objet
Creating papier-mâché clay objects can be a lot of fun.
You’re free to choose any motif you like, so feel free to brainstorm.
Using characters from your favorite anime or games is a great idea—once you finish, you’ll probably feel even more attached to your piece.
You could also go with a summery theme, or try making animals or people.
By the way, when you’re making it, using styrofoam sold at 100-yen shops as a base will make the process go more smoothly.
Disney-style doll furniture
How about making furniture sized to match your favorite dolls and plushies? It’s a two-in-one idea: furniture that’s perfect as a display spot for your beloved plush (like your bias/oshi), and that actually doubles as a case for storing small items and accessories.
Most of it can be made with materials from 100-yen shops, so plenty of people will probably want to give it a try.
The method is to wrap fabric around polystyrene foam and attach it as the base, so you could use the same materials to create more coordinated pieces—like beds and sofas—for a unified look!
Beaded accessories
How about making stylish beaded accessories as a summer vacation craft—something every girl wants to try at least once? You can enjoy wearing them yourself, or they’d make lovely gifts for friends! There are many kinds of beads available even at 100-yen shops, so your child can probably make them within their allowance.
The basic flower motif is easy even for beginners, and depending on the colors and combinations—clear, matte, and more—you can create a chic finish! Once you get the hang of it, try leveling up with lace-like designs or heart motifs.
