[For Elementary School Students] A Collection of Simple Handmade Gift Ideas

fake acrylic keychain

“You really don’t need shrink plastic or resin?” Make an acrylic keychain in 10 minutes with 100-yen shop materials! I cut all the corners and it still turned out super easy ♪ How to make a fake acrylic keychain

Acrylic keychains are appealing items thanks to their sturdy material, letting you show off the cute designs without worrying much about them breaking when you hang them on a bag.

With that acrylic keychain image in mind, how about making a durable keychain using simple materials? The main component is a sticker of the character you want to feature on the keychain; you cut it out and wrap it with tape to give it an acrylic-like look.

To make it more colorful and more durable, it’s also important to consider which tapes you use and how much you layer them.

Sparkly Bracelet

@rima_asobiEven on days full of failing grades – Meg Ru Tohsaka

I want to give a gift to a stylish friend! Here are some ideas for sparkly bracelets.

Shiny accessories are special items you can wear only on your days off, right? Making them by hand makes it even more exciting.

All you need are pipe cleaners and large beads.

Twist the pipe cleaners, braid them, and thread the beads to complete the bracelet.

For colors, combine the recipient’s favorite shades or choose ones that suit them—it’ll make them happy.

Be careful while making it so you don’t get hurt by the ends of the pipe cleaners—that’s the key point!

Torokira Keychain

Easy craft: glossy jelly keychains! Simple handmade project with 100-yen shop materials. Perfect for at-home time, summer vacation, and free craft or science projects. Great for beginners too. [100-yen DIY]

Do you know those cute accessories with a little doll floating in a tiny plastic bag? You often see them as prizes at festival raffles, but actually, you can make them yourself.

You only need items mostly from a 100-yen shop—like a soft card holder, beads and glitter, liquid laundry starch, and masking tape—so it’s a budget-friendly craft project.

Add cutouts of your favorite character or idol to the decorations, and it instantly becomes merch for your fave! You’ll want to make them for everyone!

Recommended even for first-time crafters! Here are some ideas for a fluffy yarn pouch.

As the weather gets chilly, items made with fuzzy textures start to look even cuter, don’t they? This time, why not try making an easy, fluffy pouch that’s perfect for beginners at handcrafts? All you need are a non-slip mat, chunky yarn, scissors, and a magnetic button.

You can find all the materials at a 100-yen shop, so it’s great that you can pick them up easily whenever you feel like giving it a try!

Transparent cute coaster

I tried making cute clear coasters! Perfect for a parent-child craft project over summer vacation, too!

Summer is supposed to be hot, but don’t you feel like the summers lately are getting hotter every year? When it’s hot, we crave cold drinks—so why not make coasters to brighten up your drink time and turn it into a summer science project? You’ll be using two-part resin and other chemicals, so be sure to have an adult or an older sibling help you when handling them.

Aside from working with the chemicals, it’s basically just decorating coasters, so even small children can join in! We’re looking forward to seeing your cool, refreshing coasters!
