Kids Will Love It! Handmade Ideas for Small Gifts (91–100)

Shaka-shaka accessory pouch

Just looking at it is soothing! Here are some ideas for a “shaka-shaka” trinket case.

Some kids might want to make their own favorite cute container.

This time, let’s make a shaka-shaka trinket case using materials you can find at a 100-yen shop.

You’ll need a clear round gift box, beads and charms, tape, and washi tape.

Put the beads and charms into the lid of the gift box, then secure it to the bottom part of the container with tape—and you’re done! Adding decorative washi tape to the container itself will make it even more festive.

If you want to make a stylish decoration, try “Pokémon Frame Art.” Draw Pikachu’s silhouette on black construction paper cut to your frame size, then cut it out.

Lay out Basic Lightning Energy Pokémon cards, make a color copy, and trim it to match the black paper size.

Place the black paper and then the color copy into the frame, and you’re done.

The card designs will show through the cutout for a chic finish.

There are many types of Basic Energy cards, so choose a Pokémon that matches the energy and give it a try.

Minecraft accessories

Let’s make some game character merchandise! Here are ideas for Minecraft-themed accessories.

Minecraft is a globally popular game, and it even had a movie released.

How about making accessories inspired by Minecraft characters this time? You’ll need a grass-like sheet material, wooden cubes, scissors, black felt, strong double-sided tape or glue, an awl, and accessory findings.

You can get all the materials at a 100-yen shop, so feel free to give it a try!

Sakura Fure Fure – THE SUPER FRUIT

A juice cup? Let’s try making a cute handmade pencil gift.

Since you use a pencil instead of a straw, it’s sure to be a hit as a present for preschool or school entrance celebrations.

It’s super easy to make! Prepare a clear food cup with a lid, and cut a slit in the center of the lid.

Put a few items you want to gift in the cup, like erasers or candy.

Using colorful items will give it a bright, festive look.

Finally, put the lid on, insert the pencil through the center, add a ribbon, and wrap it up to finish.

Adding stickers or a message on the cup is also recommended.

It’s low-cost and easy to make, so it’s perfect when you want to give presents to lots of friends.

bath bomb

Fizzy and bubbly! How to make a bath bomb
bath bomb

Bath bombs that fizz and dissolve when you drop them in the tub are popular with kids, too.

Here’s how to make these colorful, crackling treats.

First, add baking soda, citric acid, coconut milk powder, and cornstarch to a bowl.

Mix in essential oils and colorants, then combine the powders.

When the mixture is firm enough to hold together when squeezed by hand, pack it into molds and let it dry for 2–3 days.

You can create a variety of bath bombs depending on the essential oils and colorants you use.

Try making these to make kids’ bath time even more fun.

Make it with felt! Here are some ideas for Anpanman-themed cups.

You’ll need paper cups, felt, a clear file folder, double-sided tape, scissors, and a pencil.

This idea is great for gifts and events.

Cut the felt to fit the size of the paper cup and stick it on with double-sided tape.

Cut out parts like the Anpanman belt and attach them to the cup to finish! It’s fun to decide what to put inside the cup—candy or stationery are great options.

Give it a try!
