[Summer Vacation Crafts] Stylish Ideas for Girls (1–10)
Aroma Fragrance
If you’re looking for an easy, summery craft, I recommend making an aroma fragrance jar! Prepare a jar, gel ice packs, blue food coloring, essential oils, and decorations like marbles or seashells.
First, fill the jar about one-third full with the gel from the ice packs and add the food coloring to tint it.
Once the color is set, add more gel and a few drops of your favorite essential oil.
Finally, add the decorations and put the lid on—you’re done! Using blue food coloring with marbles or seashells makes it look like you’ve captured the sea inside the jar.
Try creating one with your favorite theme!
dollhouse
If she loves dolls, why not try making a dollhouse? In this idea, colored boards and photo frames are used to create walls and windows.
Using pins for furniture legs and buttons for handles, you can build a surprisingly charming dollhouse with just items from a 100-yen shop or things you already have at home.
These days, many miniature furnishings are sold at 100-yen shops, so you can also modify and use those.
Go ahead and create your ideal room.
A box for doing hair styling
https://www.tiktok.com/@n.annlee321/video/7483069016135732488Why not make a hairstyling box using a large empty box, felt, and yarn? It’s a great craft for kids who love tying or braiding doll hair.
First, cut out parts like the face, eyes, and mouth from felt, and stick them onto the box lid.
As if making a pom-pom, wrap yarn around cardboard, tie it at one point, then cut the looped ends.
Punch holes in the top of the face area on the box, thread the tied yarn through, and attach the “hair” around the face.
Make the side sections and bangs separately.
Also, secure the side hair at the upper left and right sides of the face.
Finally, decorate as you like with ribbons and more, and you’re done! Use the yarn as hair and enjoy styling it.
whipped resin
https://www.tiktok.com/@chat_ange/video/7136482426800311553We’ll show you how to make whipped resin that feels just like making sweets.
First, let’s create the base with resin.
Pour resin into a mold and cure it.
You can make the color however you like.
Once the base is ready, add the deco “whip,” then place decorative parts on top to embellish it.
When the whip hardens, it’s done! Using store-bought decorative parts is easy, but if you’d like to try making more with resin, take this opportunity to handcraft the parts as well.
Iced Deco Cup
https://www.tiktok.com/@mugimama_diy/video/7260428839011011847Let’s make an “icy deco cup” using interior stones and a cup sold at 100-yen shops.
All you need is your favorite cup, interior stones, a hot glue gun, and any decorative parts you like.
It’s really simple to make—just use the glue gun to attach the interior stones and parts to the cup! If you choose clear, colorless parts to match the interior stones, the whole thing will look like an ice glass.
You can use store-bought parts, or if you’re good with resin, you can make your own.
Ribbon bookmark
Would you like to make a “ribbon bookmark” that’s easy to craft, looks great, and is practical too? All you need are two ribbons you like.
First, use double-sided tape to stick one ribbon onto the center of the base ribbon.
Be careful about the angle of the ribbon you’re attaching.
Keeping that angle, weave it by slipping the attached ribbon under and over the base ribbon.
Once it reaches your desired length, tie it off to secure it.
Finally, glue on the ribbon bow piece, and you’re done!
Cream soda trinket case
https://www.tiktok.com/@n.annlee321/video/7260418764565531905When it comes to summery drinks, cream soda is a classic! So let’s make a cream soda-themed trinket holder.
This idea uses a flower vase sold at 100-yen shops.
It’s shaped like a rectangle topped with a half-circle, and it already looks like cream soda, doesn’t it? Apply green iridescent origami paper to the rectangular part and white masking tape to the half-circle to represent the drink and the ice cream.
Glue a cherry made from a pom-pom and a craft pipe cleaner to the outside, then insert a straw.
Add iridescent round stickers to mimic bubbles for an even cuter finish.
Flower keychain
Just looking at flowers can be soothing, right? Especially for girls—many of them really love flowers.
Displaying them in your room not only makes it look more vibrant, but also spreads a lovely fragrance.
This time, let’s make flowers as a summer vacation craft in the form of a keychain.
The materials—colored cord, glue, clear tape, scissors, and a swivel clasp—are all available at 100-yen shops.
Layer and braid the colored cords together.
It’s a bit of delicate work, but it’s perfect for anyone who loves making small accessories.
Sea jelly candle
Swimming in the sea or a pool in summer is so soothing, isn’t it? This year, I really want to make it to the beach! Even if you think that every year, it can be hard to go, right? For those people, we recommend a summer craft: an ocean-themed gel candle.
It looks cool and is perfect for hot summer days.
You can get all the materials at the 100-yen shop: a heat-resistant cup, gel candle wax, a candle wick, and candle decorations.
Just place everything in the cup and you’re done—super easy! Enjoy a soothing summer moment.
Handmade okonomiyaki craft
https://www.tiktok.com/@n.annlee321/video/7269328756764888338Let’s try making okonomiyaki and yakisoba—just like the ones you see at summer festival stalls—using craft materials! Here, we mainly introduce how to make the griddle and spatula.
Feel free to create the okonomiyaki and yakisoba themselves using yarn, felt, and other materials.
For the griddle, cut 2 cm-wide strips from both long edges of a color foam board and attach silver origami paper to them.
Then cover the remaining center piece with black construction paper to form the griddle surface, and glue it between the cut side pieces.
Also attach 1 cm-wide strips of silver origami along the top and bottom edges of the griddle.
Draw in the vent openings, and it’s complete! For the spatula, cut a milk carton into a spatula shape and cover it with aluminum foil—that’s all you need!
