Diatomaceous earth coaster

Diatomaceous Earth Coaster DIY Kit: Basic How-To

When you leave a glass filled with a cold drink on the table, condensation forms and makes the surface wet.

Let’s try making your own diatomaceous earth coasters that absorb those droplets.

Because it’s closely related to staying hydrated, it’s also perfect as a summer science project.

The steps are simple: put water in a paper cup, add diatomaceous earth powder and stir, pour it into a mold, and let it dry—that’s it.

The key is to mix so there’s no unevenness and to remove air bubbles thoroughly; keep this in mind to make a sturdy coaster that won’t crack.

If you use waterproof paint at the water-mixing stage, you can color the entire piece as well.

Colorful Koropika Mud Dumpling

We had fun making colorful mud dumplings (dorodango) :)

Let’s try making colorful mud dumplings.

Kits that include mud-dumpling mix and finishing powder are available.

Using these, you can make colorful, shiny mud dumplings.

Mix water into the mud-dumpling mix and knead it to form a ball.

Sprinkle fine, dry soil over it and let it dry.

Then repeatedly sprinkle on your favorite colored powder, let it dry, roll it, and polish it.

The more you polish, the shinier it gets.

Be careful not to press too hard and crack it!

separated tea

[Yukirinu] Why do the colors separate? I tried a photogenic science experiment for a school project

Let’s try making a colorful, Instagram-worthy science project: a two-layer “separate tea”! It looks like something you’d get at a stylish café—juices or coffee that make you want to snap a photo.

You can actually make it at home! The trick is that the amount of sugar changes the liquid’s density, creating layers.

With juices and tea selected for their colors, plus gum syrup and ice, it’s easy to do.

Add a bit of decoration around it and take a lovely photo.

Recommended for lower to middle elementary school students.

resin keychain

[UV Resin] I made a spiral galaxy sphere keychain using materials from the 100-yen shop! Spiral galaxy resin DIY

We will make a sparkly, space-like keychain using resin.

You’ll need resin liquid, a mold, glitter or holographic flakes, and so on.

For one half, use resin and glitter to create a spiral; for the other half, add paint, glitter, holograms, etc.

to make the background color.

Combine the two, cure again with resin, sand the surface, attach the findings, and your keychain is complete.

It takes a bit of time and effort, but it’s a fun hands-on project you can enjoy.

Recommended for upper elementary grades and above.

Summer Vacation Craft Series ♡ Part 6: Handmade Clock ♡ Let’s Make Your Very Own Original [Koujoucho] DIY

This is an independent study project where you try making your own original clock.

Aside from the clock mechanism, you can decorate it cutely with items from a 100-yen shop, so gathering materials is easy and fun.

Since you’ll be making holes in the base with a screwdriver, ask an adult to help with that part.

It’s a recommended craft for upper elementary grades and above.

Try making it with glitter, beads, and your favorite items you have at home!

Remaking a 100-yen shop clock

Remake a 100-yen shop clock! Clip clock 👍✨Summer Vacation Craft#Summer Vacation Workshop#100-yen shop DIY#100-yen shop arrangement

♪ Original song – Nanmo-kun – Nanmo-kun

The part you can see from the back of a table clock or wall clock—the section with the battery compartment and the knob for setting the time—is called the movement.

You could say it’s the heart of the clock.

In fact, clock movements are sold on their own at 100-yen shops and home improvement stores, and you can use them to make your own original clock! If you’re good at woodworking, try starting from scratch by buying a wooden board and cutting a groove to fit the movement.

If that’s not your strong suit, there are also assembly kits with pre-cut grooves available, so you can use those instead.

Refreshing! Square Bag

@n.annlee321

A cool-looking square bag design 💕 Perfect for a summer vacation craft project, too 🥰🫶✨#100-yen-shop#100-yen shop DIY#Summer VacationSummer Vacation CraftDaiso

♬ Good luck to me tomorrow – NANAOAKARI

Here’s an idea for making a bag using bag hardware from a 100-yen shop, plant pot mesh, and yarn in your favorite color and material.

First, cut the plant pot mesh to match the size of the bag hardware, then crochet or stitch the yarn onto the mesh.

Once you’ve finished attaching the yarn, sew the mesh and the bag hardware together.

Finally, add the handles and your favorite decorations to complete the bag.

With this method as a reference, it seems like you could create all kinds of items depending on your ideas!
