parfait

[Sweets Deco] Great for summer vacation crafts! Easy faux sweets made with only 100-yen store materials! [DIY paper clay sweets]

Colorful parfaits that are fun just to look at are perfect for a summer craft.

First, place tightly rolled strips of newspaper into a paper cup, then pack paper clay on top and secure it with glue.

Next, put torn pieces of paper clay, glue, and water into a piping bag, knead it to make “whipped cream,” and create a cone shape from paper and masking tape to resemble soft-serve ice cream—then have fun decorating.

Try sauce made from glue and paint, Pocky sticks made from bamboo skewers, and more—let your ideas run free and enjoy!

Marshmallow

[Sweets Deco] I used an entire pack of paper clay to make marshmallows♪

Marshmallows are a candy loved by many children.

Their fluffy appearance is just as charming as their taste.

So how about making marshmallows out of paper clay? First, shape the clay into a rod with a certain thickness.

Then cut it into pieces about the size of real marshmallows, and smooth the cut surfaces to finish.

You can keep them simple, or stack a few and skewer them—either way, they’ll look adorable.

How about making your very own original magnets? Shape your favorite designs with paper clay, then paint and decorate them.

Once they’re finished, attach a magnet to the back and stick them on the fridge or anywhere you like.

It’s easy to start with things you already have at home, so why not try it as a fun parent–child activity when you have some free time? Brainstorm ideas, choose colors together, and use it as a chance to have enjoyable conversations.

Plus, paper clay is affordable, so it’s great value! Let your child’s creativity shine and have fun making one-of-a-kind magnets.

Making a pen holder with papier-mâché clay is a wonderful craft idea that really boosts kids’ creativity! It’s easy to make: use an empty jar or can as the base, then press the clay onto it in any shape you like.

You can enjoy designing animals, flowers, characters—anything you can imagine.

French cruller

[Sweets Deco] How to Make a French Cruller with Paper Clay

You might mistake it for the real thing—making realistic pieces is fun, isn’t it? What I recommend is a French cruller.

A French cruller is a donut characterized by its swirled appearance.

To reproduce that texture, use a toothbrush and an awl.

It involves relatively detailed work, but the result has a surprisingly realistic texture.

You can also have fun by adding chocolate or making a strawberry flavor as a variation.

By the way, applying varnish will give it a glossy finish.
