[Craft] Handmade Planetarium Idea Book

Planetarium-style light

[Handmade Video] Make it at Home with Hands: “Project Your Own Starry Sky! Planetarium-Style Light” [Official Hands]

It describes attaching a base with constellation-shaped holes that reflects light so you can project stars wherever you like.

First, stack and glue a paper cup and a paper plate together, and wrap the inside of the paper plate with aluminum foil so it reflects light.

For the constellation part, use black construction paper rolled into a pointed cone shape.

After creasing it, punch holes in the pattern of a constellation while avoiding the areas that will overlap when it’s rolled.

Finally, place the constellation piece over the paper cup and plate base, insert a light into the paper cup, and you’re done.

Choosing which constellations to project could be a fun way to add originality.

A planetarium inside a cardboard box

@tidako_13

What unfolds inside the cardboard box is... ✨#TikTokXmas#tiktok classroomHandmadePlanetariumHandmade PlanetariumRecommendation#fyp

♬ Mikrokosmos – BTS

It’s a planetarium where, when you hold a cardboard box up to the light and look through a hole, a starry sky spreads out inside.

First, cut out one face of the cardboard box, and on the opposite side make a hole large enough to look through.

Line the inside with black construction paper to absorb light, then cover the cut-out side with aluminum foil perforated with a star pattern and attach it—done.

Ensuring that no light leaks in from anywhere other than the holes in the aluminum foil—such as by adjusting the size of the viewing hole and the inner construction paper—is a key point for creating a beautiful starry sky.

Planetarium with color balls

DIY Beautiful Planetarium Lamp Shade: A small planetarium-like lamp shade made with colored balls ♡

It’s a planetarium that represents a night-lamp shade using colored balls.

After inserting bamboo skewers into the colored balls and attaching them with a hot glue gun, mix UV resin with a colorant and apply it to the balls.

The key here is to leave some space around each skewer.

Change the resin colors to create a gradient as you paint, then cure the resin.

Once cured, remove the skewers and take out the colored balls.

Apply resin to the inside of the dome and nail polish to the outside.

Finally, coat the dome with clear resin, decorate it with charms and metal parts, and place it over the night lamp to complete the piece.

planetarium lampshade

[Halloween Star Projector] Planetarium 🎃 Halloween Craft ☆ Lampshade Handmade Planetarium ☆ Handmade Lampshade ☆ Papercraft

This is a planetarium that incorporates a lampshade to enclose a lamp or light bulb and diffuse the light.

Why not try making a soothing item that creates a magical atmosphere born from shadows? Cut paper according to templates featuring ghosts, pumpkins, witches, and more.

Use a hole punch and craft knife to cut out the illustrations and patterns, then clip the papers together to form a three-dimensional shape.

Attach a backing so there’s a hole in the bottom, insert a light inside, and you’re done.

It’s an idea for a planetarium that casts beautiful patterns across the night sky.

Planetarium with paper cups

Easy with a paper cup: How to make a planetarium

Here’s how to make a planetarium using a paper cup.

Cover the paper cup completely with black colored tape so there are no gaps.

Cut out star-shaped holes with a craft knife, then attach colored cellophane over them.

Using vibrant colors like red and green will make it look even more festive.

Once the paper cup piece is finished, shine a light from the inside to project the planetarium onto the ceiling.

It’s also recommended to cut out shapes you’d like to float in the night sky—like the moon or animals—and try those too.

A planetarium made by a high school student

@sapporoshinyo

We tried making a planetarium: third-year students in the inquiry course spent a year building it ⭐️Shinyou High SchoolPlanetariumExploration Course

♬ Planetarium (MP3 catalog number) – Ai Otsuka

You might think a planetarium would be hard to make without a dome or professional equipment, right? But with the right ideas, even high school students can create one! In this example, they’ve built a solid dome.

Is that black construction paper lining the inside? These days, affordable home planetariums are available, so if you’re making a smaller dome, you can actually set one up quite easily just by getting one of those.

A quiet, traditional planetarium is great, but you could also mix in lively visuals and use it as a photo spot, too.
