Sparkling star decoration

@chii_1514m

My four-year-old preschooler gave it a try! We made the sparkling star decorations I showed in the last video ☺︎#Production video#Kindergarten#Nursery schoolwall surfaceChristmas decorations

♪ Original song – Chi☺︎ – Chi☺︎

Let’s make a sparkling star with stained glass art.

First, create a frame with black construction paper, place it on a sheet of parchment paper so it’s easy to peel off, and apply clear tape.

Prepare pieces of clear cellophane cut into small bits.

After removing the parchment paper, sprinkle and stick the cellophane pieces on top.

And that’s it—the glittering star decoration is complete.

Since it’s transparent and lets light through, it looks beautiful when placed by a window where sunlight comes in.

Give it a try!

Corner clip rice balls and sandwiches

Let’s make onigiri rice balls and sandwiches using corner clips for holding papers! For the onigiri, stick double-sided tape on the clip, then attach white, long-pile yarn to it.

Next, glue a small square of black felt on top to act as the seaweed, and it’s done! It’s also fun to tuck pieces of felt that look like fillings into the gap of the clip.

For the sandwich, prepare white felt cut into a triangle like bread, and felt cut into shapes for ham and lettuce.

Stick them together with double-sided tape in the order of fillings, then bread, and you’re finished! You can customize both the onigiri and sandwiches by changing the colors of felt and the types of “fillings” you cut out.

Finger-knitted sacoche

Finger-knit sacoche/bag for complete beginners (crochet, crocheting) – Part 1

Let’s try knitting a sacoche—those trendy flat crossbody bags—using just your fingers.

Since sacoches are slim and have no gusset, they seem easy to make with finger knitting.

It could be a fun project for kids who want to try knitting, and it’s also recommended for kids who’d like to try a different knitting method than usual.

If you use yarn in your favorite colors, your piece will turn out even more special.

Once it’s finished, try slinging your sacoche over your shoulder and heading out.

As you get used to the process, it’s the kind of project that would make a great gift for friends and family too.

Krispy Kreme-style decorated doughnuts

[100-yen shop clay] Krispy Kreme-style decorated donuts

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts drew attention not only for their taste but also for their colorful appearance.

Focusing on that cute, colorful look, this is about recreating them as mascots.

The base is made by shaping clay in a mold, then adding other colored clays and decorations to embellish it.

It looks fun not only to recreate actual products but also to decorate them in your own way and make original donuts.

Gem-like soap

Summer Independent Research: How to Make Gemstone-Like Soaps [Recommended for Girls] [Research]

Gemstone soaps are available as DIY kits, but they’re easy to make as long as you have glycerin soap and coloring.

Cut the glycerin soap into small pieces and place them in a container, then heat in a microwave at 500W for 10 seconds.

Mix in your favorite colorant to add color, and add aroma for fragrance.

Once you’ve made a few colors, pour them into another container in layers and let them set—that’s it! Try changing the color combinations and see what kinds of gemstones you can create.

Using a clear soap base also gives a light, airy look and is highly recommended.

Honey Toast accessory case

[Sweets Deco] How to Make a Honey Toast Trinket Box [Fake Sweets, Clay Craft, DIY Fake Sweets]

Almost real? Let’s make a sweet and cute “Honey Toast Trinket Box”! It’s a big hit with upper-grade girls: it looks like a dessert, but inside it’s a practical storage box.

The design mimics crispy honey toast topped with plenty of honey, ice cream, and fruit.

It’s a craft project with a soft, sweet vibe.

Using paper clay, sponge, and paints, you can create realistic “browned edges” and a “melty” look.

Coming up with the decorations will be fun to do with friends, too.

Try finishing it off cutely with silicone whipped cream and berries.

An ehou-maki that makes you want to take a big bite

You can even use it for pretend play! Why not try making an ehomaki that looks so real you’ll want to eat it? It’s super cute and looks just like the real thing! Cut a pool noodle and wrap black felt around the sides.

Take two circles of thick paper, glue white yarn onto them in a spiral to represent white rice, and attach them to the top and bottom of the pool noodle.

Then use felt and beads to make tuna, salmon, cucumber, salmon roe, and more.

Stick them on top of the “rice,” and you’re done!
