Pen stand

Transforming a plastic bottle! 🥰 #shorts #handmade #DIY #crafts

Let’s make use of plastic bottles! Here are some ideas for a pen stand.

Speaking of pen stands, they’re a must-have item for elementary school students, right? They’re often used at home to hold pencils and pens upright.

This time, let’s make a pen stand using a mini-sized plastic bottle with a smooth surface.

You’ll need a plastic bottle, a kitchen paper roll core, a utility knife, patterned origami paper, double-sided tape, beads, a hot glue gun, and pom-poms for decoration.

The result is pop and cute, but you can change the vibe by playing with colors and patterns.

Air freshener made with ice packs

Make It with Ice Packs! Original Air Freshener / [OT Let's Try! Vol. 33] (Recreation & Crafts)

Try gifting an air freshener that will fill their home with a lovely scent.

For this idea, you’ll use a cold pack.

First, put the contents of the cold pack into a jar.

Next, add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to add fragrance.

Finally, decorate it by adding glass marbles or a few drops of paint.

You’ll end up with an air freshener that looks like something you’d find in a store.

Choose scents and decorations that match the recipient’s tastes.

It’s also a great idea to decorate the jar itself with a ribbon.

Cute crafts for the kitchen

Great for free craft time too! 'Cute Crafts in the Kitchen for Elementary School Kids' (Gakken) – children, parents and kids, DIY, at-home activities

This is a craft project where you use everyday materials like paper cups, paper napkins, and water balloons to make small, play-kitchen-style items.

The book features recipe-style crafts focused on cute sweets such as ice cream, cupcakes, and pudding, making it feel as fun as flipping through a cookbook.

One especially noteworthy method is making a dome-shaped cup by pasting paper napkins onto a water balloon, letting it dry, and then popping the balloon.

Add toppings made from felt or origami to finish it off so it looks like a real dessert.

You can also customize paper plates and drink cups to create displays that look like a charming little shop.

It’s a visually delightful craft that sparks creativity.

Jellyfish Aquarium

@n.annlee321

Since I made this, I no longer need a night light when I go to bed 😊 Great for saving electricity. Be sure to expose the glow-in-the-dark stones to plenty of light during the day ✨ I bought all the materials at Seria. If you don’t have jellyfish stickers, it’s also fun to draw jellyfish on the bottle with a permanent marker.#sdgs Creators Grand PrixLife with children#tiktok classroom

Recommended for kids who love aquariums! You might not even need a light!? Here’s how to make a “Jellyfish Aquarium” using materials from the dollar store.

First, put glow-in-the-dark stones into a plastic bottle, then add glitter powder and liquid laundry starch.

It’s also a great idea to stick on jellyfish and other fish stickers or illustrations! Once you’ve decorated it, your original aquarium is complete.

If you don’t have glow-in-the-dark stones, how about putting in a small LED light instead? Be sure to get creative and adapt it to your children’s ages!
