[Summer Vacation Crafts] Stylish Ideas for Girls (21–30)
No-bake shrink plastic keychain
Shrinky-dink crafts are popular, but you sometimes hear complaints like, “It warped in the oven,” or “It didn’t turn out the way I imagined.” Here’s a no-bake shrink-plastic keychain that’s perfect for those folks! Why not try making it during summer break at home or with friends? Here’s how: stick your favorite stickers onto the plastic sheet, then cut it to a suitable size.
Next, apply a hand-apply laminate film and punch a hole at the top.
For the finishing touches, trim it into your desired shape, thread a strap through the hole, and you’re done! It also sounds fun to turn your own drawings or photos into stickers and use those.
Recreating Disney park food!
Perfect for a summer vacation science project! Let’s make a “Little Green Men Squishy.” You know them as popular Disney characters.
These cute and unique Little Green Men can be turned into a squishy with a soft, bouncy feel.
It’s a hands-on craft where you can create a mysterious toy that looks just like the real thing and feels great to squeeze.
All you need are liquid foundation sponges from the 100-yen shop, fast-drying clear glue, and acrylic paint.
Finish a Disney park-style treat that looks real, and enjoy your summer vacation!

Tissue box bag
A cute, rounded-rectangle shoulder bag—believe it or not, it’s made from an empty tissue box! It’s very easy to make.
Leave the bottom of the empty box attached, and cut a slit so the box can open cleanly in half.
On one side, cut away everything except the bottom and one side wall.
Use the piece you cut off to cover the tissue-dispensing opening.
The key is not to seal it completely.
This opening will hold the tab that acts as the bag’s clasp, keeping the lid firmly shut.
Punch holes, thread a cord for the strap, and decorate in your favorite colors to finish.
Beaded accessories
How about making stylish beaded accessories as a summer vacation craft—something every girl wants to try at least once? You can enjoy wearing them yourself, or they’d make lovely gifts for friends! There are many kinds of beads available even at 100-yen shops, so your child can probably make them within their allowance.
The basic flower motif is easy even for beginners, and depending on the colors and combinations—clear, matte, and more—you can create a chic finish! Once you get the hang of it, try leveling up with lace-like designs or heart motifs.
Paper-cup hat
How about trying to make a tiny hat using a paper cup? Cut off the rim (the drinking edge) of the cup, then make thin, evenly spaced slits.
Crease each strip diagonally about halfway down, and from there, start folding and weaving them so they overlap with the neighboring strips.
It might seem a bit tricky at first, but once you get used to it, you’ll be fine—and it becomes fun as you go.
Tuck in the ends to finish the weave, then decorate with ribbon or felt.
If you use a craft-style paper cup, you can make a straw hat.
[Origami] Three-dimensional Hydrangea

Make it with origami! Here are some ideas for creating three-dimensional hydrangeas.
It’s exciting to craft delicate, glamorous hydrangeas yourself, isn’t it? This time, how about making hydrangeas in your favorite colors using origami paper? You’ll need origami paper, Tant paper, a frame, a white pen, pearl beads, a craft knife, precision scissors, tweezers, glue, and a glue bottle, among other items.
It’s also a great project when you want to focus on making something, or when you want to create a seasonal gift.
Let’s make gemstone soap
Girls are often drawn to things that sparkle like gemstones, aren’t they? Let’s make soap that looks just like jewels.
It’s perfect for a summer vacation craft project, and it would make a delightful gift too.
Put glycerin and colored soap for tinting into a paper cup, melt it in the microwave, let it harden as is, then cut the corners to resemble a gemstone—and you’re done! You can also enjoy various customizations, like mixing several colors, shaping it to look like a raw crystal, or using silicone molds to make lots of identical pieces.
