How about using block parts to create an exciting gashapon? All you need are LEGO pieces and marbles.

Adjust the marble size to match your LEGO build.

You could also change the color of just one marble to make a “winner,” which sounds like a fun twist!

How to make a chopstick gun

In addition to chopsticks and rubber bands, this chopstick gun uses cardboard and duct tape to combine into a pistol-like appearance.

The basic firing mechanism is assembled from chopsticks and rubber bands, and then a grip and decorations are attached using cardboard and tape.

Since you’ll end up covering the whole thing with tape so it looks like a pistol, it’s important to build a sturdy base beforehand.

Let’s also pay attention to how we decorate it to make it look as realistic as possible.

Handmade UFO catcher with magnets

Handmade UFO catcher with magnets

A handmade UFO catcher that combines colored paper clips and neodymium magnets is a unique craft that uses magnetism.

Fix the magnet to the end of a string and secure it firmly with glue.

For the main body, connect two plastic bottle caps vertically with masking tape, adding thickness to the sides so that the clips won’t stick to them.

Thread the string through the caps to complete the arm.

Pre-drill a hole in a clear bottle, pass the string with the main body through it, and drop the clips inside.

When lowered, the magnet attracts the clips; when pulled up, the distance increases and the clips release—just like a real claw machine.

It’s a clever idea that makes good use of magnetic properties.
