Perfect for a summer vacation project! Why not try sweets art with “Japanese-style pancakes made from clay”? Recreate pancakes in clay to look amazingly real—fluffy batter topped with whipped cream, sweet red bean paste, chestnuts, and sweet potato, inspired by traditional Japanese ingredients.

It’s a stylish and fun craft that results in Japanese sweets that look just like the real thing.

The key to making it realistic is carefully reproducing details like the browned, toasted color.

Try adding the browning with a sponge.

You can also display your creation in your room and use it as decor!

rice ball

DIY Cute Mini Rice Ball Strap: Simple and cute—miniature onigiri strap

Let’s make a realistic and adorable rice ball (onigiri) strap out of paper clay, just like a food sample! All you need is white and black paper clay, plus a strap and its hardware.

Shaping the clay into a triangular onigiri and creating the rice texture with a toothpick sounds so fun.

Once you attach the black paper clay as the nori, it looks just like a real onigiri.

After adding the strap, hang it as a keychain on your child’s bag, and it’s sure to be irresistibly cute!

Lucky Daruma

[Video] Hands Hint Club at Home: “Make a Cute Wobbly Good-Luck Daruma with Paper Clay” [Official Hands]

Here’s a way to make eight daruma dolls from a single block of paper clay.

Prepare paper clay, glass marbles, and markers or paints.

Divide the clay into eight equal portions, then roll and shape one portion into a ball.

Insert a marble toward the bottom as a weight and check that it rights itself when tipped.

Press down the top to form the face area.

Paint everything except the face in your preferred color, such as red or blue, then draw the eyes and nose to complete the face.

If you make all eight in different colors and with different expressions, you’ll have a set of colorful daruma dolls.

Give it a try!

mask

[Craft Video] I tried making a wolf mask with calligraphy paper and clay - How to Make a Wolf Mask -

How about trying your hand at making a mask you can enjoy both displaying and playing with? There are three main steps: first, prepare a plain white mask and build the base by combining it with newspaper.

Next, use clay to refine the design down to the details.

Finally, once the clay has dried, paint it and thread a cord through to finish.

You could model it after an animal or a favorite character, or make a mask that fits a holiday or the season.

Start by letting your imagination run and picturing what you’d like to create.

Tabletop clay accessories

http://www.lemon8-app.com

Small clay mascots that can sit on a tabletop test your attention to detail precisely because you’re aiming for a compact, easy-to-display size.

While you’re free to create whatever you like, it’s fun to build a unique world with things that don’t exist in reality—like a pig popping out of a flowerpot or a sheep blooming like a flower.

Paying close attention to details such as the pig’s and sheep’s coats to craft them finely adds realism, which in turn makes the finished piece’s strangeness stand out even more.

Using clays in a variety of colors for a colorful finish is a key point that enhances the joy of both the making process and the display.

black cat

[Halloween] Black Cat Made with Paper Clay [Craft]

A black cat is a recommended idea, too.

It’s simply cute to look at, and it also comes in handy for Halloween.

When making it, try constructing it in separate parts: head, body, and tail.

You can go for realistic proportions or deformed chibi style with two heads’ height.

You can also have fun arranging it as cats of different colors and patterns.

If you make a variety of cats and line them up, they’ll look even cuter.

And during the Halloween season, displaying them alongside pumpkins is also a great idea.

Photo frame with flowers made from paper clay

How to Make a Flower Photo Frame [Paper Clay, Photo Stand, Wing Silk]

Let’s try making a photo frame using paper clay.

First, use lightweight clay to create the frame.

For the flowers, use colored clay.

Roll small balls of clay, snip the center with scissors to form petals, shape them, and then attach them to the frame.

Use a variety of colors—red, blue, yellow, pink, and more—to make it vibrant and colorful.

Once the clay for the frame and flowers has dried, create the photo insert using a clear file, and make a stand for the frame with clay to finish it off.

It’s a frame that will last a long time, making it perfect as a gift.
