[Summer Vacation Crafts] Stylish Ideas for Girls

Pom-pom Rug Mat

A fluffy, cozy pom-pom rug mat made with a toilet paper roll core and yarn

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!

paper clay objet

[100-Yen Shop DIY] We harvested Pikmin from the garden

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.

Felt mini pouch

[Easy for Beginners] A cute, palm-sized round trinket holder! How to make a felt mini pouch [Small Accessories] – DIY Simple Pouch, Purse, Earbud Case

This is a mini pouch made of felt that even children like elementary school students and beginners at crafts can easily try! It’s especially recommended for girls who are good at sewing—a cute, palm-sized pouch.

It’s convenient to prepare a pattern in advance.

The method is to cut the felt and sew the pieces together with a blanket stitch.

Changing the felt colors or swapping the accent button for beads would be lovely, too! You’ll definitely find yourself absorbed in the process of hand-sewing each stitch.

It’s also fun to think about what to put in the pouch as you make it.

Accessory box made from an empty box

Summer Vacation Craft Series ♡ Part 4: Making an Accessory Box from Empty Boxes [Koujoucho] DIY

Some children who love fashion may have lots of charms for rings or clothes, right? Since they can easily get lost, it’s handy to have a box that can store them all together.

Here’s an accessory box that’s practical too.

You can make it with an empty box you already have at home.

Add thickness by attaching pieces cut from a quilted surface to the lid and the sides of the box.

The soft, cushioned thickness gives it a luxurious feel, turning it into a proper jewelry box.

If you roll up some felt fabric and place it inside the box, you can store rings neatly.

The finished product won’t look like it was made from an empty box, so give it a try for inspiration!
