DIY craft ideas using 100-yen shop materials (21–30)
Krispy Kreme-style decorated doughnuts
Krispy Kreme Doughnuts drew attention not only for their taste but also for their colorful appearance.
Focusing on that cute, colorful look, this is about recreating them as mascots.
The base is made by shaping clay in a mold, then adding other colored clays and decorations to embellish it.
It looks fun not only to recreate actual products but also to decorate them in your own way and make original donuts.
fake acrylic keychain
Acrylic keychains are appealing items thanks to their sturdy material, letting you show off the cute designs without worrying much about them breaking when you hang them on a bag.
With that acrylic keychain image in mind, how about making a durable keychain using simple materials? The main component is a sticker of the character you want to feature on the keychain; you cut it out and wrap it with tape to give it an acrylic-like look.
To make it more colorful and more durable, it’s also important to consider which tapes you use and how much you layer them.
Sparkling Kaleidoscope
If you’re unsure what to make for your summer vacation craft project, why not try a sparkling kaleidoscope? You can make this kaleidoscope with recycled materials and items from the 100-yen shop.
Cut a hard plastic case and form it into a triangular prism, then place beads in the bottom and secure them.
On the opposite end, attach a piece of black construction paper with a peephole.
Glue a milk carton—lined on the inside with black construction paper—around the triangular prism, and decorate it as you like to finish.
While kaleidoscopes typically use mirrors, in this idea the hard plastic case serves that role.
How to make melon cream soda
Melon soda isn’t just refreshing in taste—the vibrant green color alone gives off a sense of fun.
Focusing on that look, this project shows how to make a colorful mascot using simple materials.
The main materials are jelly-like modeling clay and crushed stones; by combining them well, you can recreate the sparkle of melon soda.
Fill a cup with jelly clay and crushed stones, then place white clay on top to resemble ice cream, and finish with decorations like a cherry and a straw.
Think about angles and proportions as you work to make it look as realistic as possible.
Torokira Keychain
Do you know those cute accessories with a little doll floating in a tiny plastic bag? You often see them as prizes at festival raffles, but actually, you can make them yourself.
You only need items mostly from a 100-yen shop—like a soft card holder, beads and glitter, liquid laundry starch, and masking tape—so it’s a budget-friendly craft project.
Add cutouts of your favorite character or idol to the decorations, and it instantly becomes merch for your fave! You’ll want to make them for everyone!
