Handheld fan made from scrap materials
Let’s make a realistic-looking handheld fan out of recycled materials! It won’t produce wind, but you can enjoy watching it spin.
First, poke a hole in the center of two popsicle sticks, thread a bamboo skewer through them to make the propeller, and connect two toilet paper rolls, covering them with origami paper to create the handle.
Cut a circle from thick paper, cover it with origami paper, and punch a hole in the center to make the part behind the propeller.
Slide a short piece of straw onto the bamboo skewer of the propeller, then pass it through the circular part and attach the circle to the handle.
Let the bamboo skewer extend out above the handle, wrap kite string around it, then cut a slit in the handle to guide and secure the string.
Make a hole on the side of the handle, thread the kite string through, and add a bead to the end of the string—and you’re done!
bento crafting

Bento craft that looks just like the real thing through clever use of color and shape is an art form that lets you enjoy the fun of making food.
Layer tissue over yellow crepe paper, offset them, cut into quarters, and fluff it up to get a texture like rolled omelet.
Roll up red crepe paper and add a green calyx, and it turns out just like a cherry tomato.
Wrap tissue in white crepe paper, shape it into a triangle, then wrap with black origami paper, and you’ve got a proper onigiri.
Even though every component is made only of paper, the thoughtful colors and shapes make it look delicious.
By planning the placement of side dishes and the overall arrangement, it becomes a work that greatly boosts creativity and powers of observation.
Flower papercut
Kirie—the art of creating beautiful patterns simply by folding and cutting origami—is a craft filled with surprise and discovery.
Fold the origami paper several times until it becomes a triangle.
Draw motifs like snowflakes or hearts, then cut them out with scissors.
The moment you unfold the paper and a completely unexpected pattern spreads out is pure excitement.
Depending on how you sketch the design and where you cut, you can create completely different works even with the same theme.
Choosing colored origami paper or adding glitter for the finishing touch makes the result more vibrant and striking.
Through the process, you can develop dexterity and a sense of design, and once displayed, the pieces brighten up any room.
a picture from the story
When drawing, choosing a theme is important, and some people may struggle with that and find it hard to get started.
For those who aren’t good at deciding on a theme, a recommended approach is to use a story as a reference and create your artwork from it.
Freely choose a narrative, find a scene you like, and express it in your own way through your art.
Because cover illustrations and interior artwork can influence you, it takes skill to see how far you can distance yourself from them and how much originality you can bring.
Try to visualize the setting of the story and make a habit of expanding your imagination from there.
Cute crafts for the kitchen
This is a craft project where you use everyday materials like paper cups, paper napkins, and water balloons to make small, play-kitchen-style items.
The book features recipe-style crafts focused on cute sweets such as ice cream, cupcakes, and pudding, making it feel as fun as flipping through a cookbook.
One especially noteworthy method is making a dome-shaped cup by pasting paper napkins onto a water balloon, letting it dry, and then popping the balloon.
Add toppings made from felt or origami to finish it off so it looks like a real dessert.
You can also customize paper plates and drink cups to create displays that look like a charming little shop.
It’s a visually delightful craft that sparks creativity.
crayon (wax pastel)
Crayon pastels, which let you enjoy overlapping colors and inventive line work, are a delightful art form that expands the range of expression.
You can color the entire sheet with crayons and then draw lines on top with a pastel to create a finish reminiscent of carbon copy paper.
Using a stencil technique, place cut-out shapes on the paper and layer colors around them with crayon pastels to make patterns emerge.
In the scratch technique, you first color the surface vibrantly, then cover it with black and scratch lines with a pin or similar tool to draw, resulting in a dreamlike piece.
Choosing themes from nature—such as flowers, plants, or fish—enables even richer expression.
It’s an engaging craft where discoveries arise from shifts in color and accidental patterns, nurturing both imagination and powers of observation.
Aquarium snow globe
Let me introduce a refreshing aquarium-style snow globe.
Prepare liquid laundry starch (or glue), a sponge, a jar, miniature figures, ribbon, adhesive, glitter, and a chopstick.
Cut the sponge to the shape of the jar lid to make a base, then glue it in place.
Attach the figures onto the base using adhesive.
Put glitter into the jar, then add water and liquid laundry starch in a 1:1 ratio and mix well.
Close the jar with the lid that has the figures attached, making sure no air gets in, and you’re done.
Decorate it and create your own original snow globe!
