[Summer Vacation Crafts] Stylish Ideas for Girls (141–150)
Ocean Bottle
Perfect for a summer vacation science-and-craft project: how about making an ocean bottle that uses the separation of water and oil? Fill a plastic bottle about halfway with water colored blue and the other half with clear oil.
Then add seashells and other items to create a seaside feel.
Put the cap on, and…
that’s all it takes! Despite the simple steps, you’ll see a mysterious scene as if there’s an ocean inside the bottle.
Feel free to customize what you put in to make it your own!
cotton ball lights
A lamp shade with a soft, round texture that’s adorably charming.
It’s nice that you can make it just by inflating a water balloon, wrapping colorful cotton yarn around it, and letting it dry.
What you’ll need: water balloons, cotton yarn, glue, LED string lights, batteries, and a brush.
For the paste to stick the yarn, put glue in a container, add a little water, and brush it on.
After letting it dry completely for 1–2 days, pop the balloon inside and it’s done.
Make several in different colors for a vibrant piece that fits perfectly into your interior decor.
Using jute twine instead of cotton yarn will give it a different look.
Baskin-Robbins-style ice cream
If you want to try making fake-sweets keychains or ornaments—cute but maybe a bit tricky—the highly recommended project is a Baskin-Robbins-style ice cream that looks just like the real thing.
All you need are paper clay, paint, a toothbrush, and a bamboo skewer.
Color the paper clay to match the size and flavor you want, roll it into a ball, flatten the bottom, and use the skewer and toothbrush to create an ice cream texture.
Once you get used to it, you’ll quickly get the hang of it.
Be careful not to overmix the paint or it will get too dark and you’ll have to add more clay; it’s best to add paint little by little.
Try placing your scoop in a paper cup or even a real ice cream cup.
Watermelon garland
One popular handmade idea is garlands.
They’re appealing because they’re easy to display anywhere.
Still, some of you might be thinking, “I want to make a garland that’s a little different from the usual.” That’s where this watermelon garland idea comes in.
It’s a garland made with pennant-shaped watermelon motifs.
Besides its cute look and summery vibe, there’s another big attraction to this idea: when you roll it up, it looks like a halved watermelon.
It might be nice to hang it somewhere you can move it around and play with it.
Sweets Bath Bomb
How about making bath bombs that you drop into the tub to enjoy their fizz and fragrance, but with a focus on appearance so they look like fake sweets? The ingredients are baking soda, citric acid, cornstarch, essential oils, and food coloring.
Mix everything thoroughly, then lightly mist with water so it holds together.
Press the mixture into silicone molds, let it set, and dry.
Melt glycerin soap in the microwave, tint it with food coloring to resemble chocolate sauce, and drizzle it over the hardened bath bombs.
Try making donut-shaped, chocolate-shaped, and other sweet-inspired bath bombs and have fun with the designs!
Let’s make a squishy.
Making squishies you can play with over and over is also a great idea for an independent study project.
Squishies are toys with a soft, fluffy feel.
You’ve probably seen squishies that look just like real food.
Since you’ll be making your own this time, enjoy taking the time to think about what kind of food-themed squishy you want to create.
Another fun point is that you can customize them depending on your ideas.
For example, you could use slime to represent stretchy cheese, or make one where something pops out when you press it—that sounds fun too.
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!
