How about making your own version of your favorite snack package? First, buy the real product and carefully study its packaging.

Trace the shape onto construction paper or similar, and then recreate everything—the design and the text—just like the original.

After coloring it with pens or other materials, cut it out, assemble it, and you’re done.

It’s a task that requires patience, but the steps are very simple.

Find a package you love and give it a try!

Metal craft

@utatan_simple_crafts

← Fun original craft recipe Good evening, this is Utatan 🐰 We’re halfway through summer vacation… so this time I’m sharing a satisfying craft that even elementary schoolers will enjoy ✨ It’s an arrangement of a copper wire craft I tried at a neighborhood summer festival when I was in second grade, updated with transparent origami paper ✂️ That was the first time in my life I worked with metal, and it was a valuable experience where I learned: “Metal is a fascinating material—hard and durable, yet flexible enough to deform when bent or hammered with force.” Trying, touching, and using all kinds of materials really expands your world, doesn’t it? ♪ My daughter used a hammer and needle-nose pliers for the first time, and it became a special experience for her! (Tip: If you want to make fine curves or angles, use needle-nose pliers 👍) Metal isn’t often used in kids’ crafts, but this summer vacation, I’d love for you to try this project that lets you fully feel the properties of metal ☺️ Materials: • 2 mm aluminum craft wire (purchased at Daiso) • Transparent origami, aurora sheet • (Optional) Faux leather cord Tools: • Wire cutters, needle-nose pliers • Hammer • Work gloves • A brick or flat stone • Multi-purpose glue • Toothpicks • Scissors • Pen Caution: Please take great care to avoid injuries from wire ends and the hammer. Important: Because this is an original recipe, we prohibit the following: ▪ Unauthorized reposting of images/videos ▪ Commercial use of the work/recipe ▪ Publishing the instructions as videos/images ▪ Unauthorized use in paid craft/art classes or production workshops When posting reference works, please mention @utatan_simple_crafts ✨ We’re also looking forward to your “made it!” posts ☺️ ****************************************** Creating daily with my 5-year-old ♪ Original craft recipes for parents and kids to enjoy (We also sell craft kits and digital files 🌸) Utatan’s Simple Crafts → @utatan_simple_crafts ONLINE STORE →https://utatan-crafts.stores.jpThank you in advance 🐰✨work#I love craftsStained glassWire CraftSummer Vacation Craft#Summer vacation homework#HandmadeToysHow to Spend Summer VacationLife with childrenLife with children#HandmadeToys#diy#AtHomePlay#StayHomeTime

Let’s try a metal craft project using soft wire you can find at 100-yen shops and similar stores.

First, come up with a few patterns that can be drawn in a single stroke.

After cutting the wire to an appropriate length, shape it to match the pattern.

If bending it by hand is difficult, it’s a good idea to use tools like pliers.

Once the shape is made, hammer it to flatten the joints.

Then cut transparent origami paper to fit the pattern, and attach it from the back with glue to finish.

Cute glasses with moles

[Craft] Super Easy and Cute Pipe Cleaner Glasses! Finished in 5 Minutes! How to Make Them [Straw]

Let’s make cute glasses using pipe cleaners and straws.

First, think about the shape of the glasses you want to make—try sketching it out.

Round, square, star-shaped—anything you like is fine.

Once you’ve decided on the shape, form it with the pipe cleaners.

A single pipe cleaner isn’t very sturdy, so twist two together into one before shaping.

After the frame is done, thread straws onto the parts that go over your ears, and you’re finished.

If you use the accordion section of the straw over your ears, the glasses are less likely to slip off.

Paper cup Tyrannosaurus

[Summer Vacation Craft] Using Only Paper Cups! Easier T. rex (Tyrannosaurus) Project [Independent Study] Make It in One Day! Upcycled Craft [A Must-See for Moms and Dads]

This activity involves combining paper cups to create a three-dimensional, dynamic Tyrannosaurus.

The key is how you connect the cups: by trimming the edges and adding slits, you can set firm angles.

Build it by linking the cups from the head to the tail, then attach separately made legs and arms at the end to finish.

Try different variations, such as using cups of the same color for a cohesive look or mixing different colors for a colorful effect.

Making a marble run with an ice box

Summer is the season that makes you crave ice cream, and as you eat it, you might find the boxes piling up.

This idea uses those leftover ice cream boxes to make a marble run.

Use a large box, like a milk carton, as the base, and attach slopes made by cutting the ice cream boxes around it.

Adjust the angles and heights carefully, keeping in mind the strength needed so it won’t break when the marbles hit.

Using ice cream sticks to reinforce it is also recommended—they’ll make the whole thing sturdier and give it a cohesive look.

Roll-and-drop game made with straws

Roll, roll... ☺️#tiktok classroomLife with children#Summer VacationSummer Vacation Craft

♬ Athletic Meet “Heaven and Hell” (No Introduction) – Shinonome

Here’s a fun-to-make, fun-to-play marble run you can build with straws.

Gather tapioca (boba) straws, beads, masking tape, and scissors, and let’s get started.

Cut the tip of a tapioca straw at an angle, then tape it to a wall with masking tape, adjusting the angle as you go.

Add guards at the ends of the straws so the rolling beads don’t fall out.

The key is to tweak the angles so the beads roll smoothly.

Once it’s finished, try rolling some beads and play! It could also be fun to turn this into a little science project—prepare beads of different sizes and time how many seconds each one takes to roll through.

A flying octopus? Tako-copter

A flying octopus? A toy like a bamboo-copter made from a paper cup: the 'TacoCopter' #easyCraft #paperCup #flyingCraft

It’s a toy that combines paper cups and a round chopstick to spin like a bamboo-copter and soar into the sky.

By spreading “wings” that catch the wind and coloring it mainly red, it takes on a curious form—a flying octopus.

You’ll use two paper cups and a round chopstick: attach the chopstick and the octopus’s facial parts to a paper cup with only the bottom left to create a launcher.

Then cut slits into the other paper cup, spread it out to form propeller-like blades, and attach it to the launcher to finish.

Fine-tune the propeller angles to make your octopus fly even higher.
