How to Make Dazzling Gemstones

Let’s make a toy that looks like a gemstone when you hold it up to the light.
Prepare two toilet paper rolls and decorate the sides with origami paper.
Cut each roll into four equal rings.
Arrange the rings into circular frames and glue them together, then attach a piece of parchment (cooking) paper to the bottom.
Make a strip of aluminum foil the same height as the frame, form it into a ring, and place it inside the frame.
Finally, stick pieces of transparent origami paper on top in a random collage, and you’re done! Be sure to put several aluminum-foil rings of different sizes into each frame.
That way, you can create multiple gem-like colors within a single frame.
Sparkling hourglass

Let’s make a cute, sparkly hourglass that doubles as interior decor.
Prepare two small bottles, glitter to use as sand, a clear plastic file sheet, and decorative parts.
Cut the clear file slightly larger than the bottle opening and make a hole in the center for the glitter to pass through.
Attach tape and half-cover the hole, then glue it to the bottle.
Add the glitter and glue on the other bottle.
Finish it off cutely with decorative parts.
After adding the glitter, be careful not to turn it over until the adhesive has dried.
Finger-knitted scrunchie

Introducing a scrunchie you can knit using your fingers.
When you think of knitting, you might imagine using two needles or skillfully handling a crochet hook.
Finger knitting is a project that lets even kids who aren’t used to knitting try it out easily.
It’s also recommended for kids who love knitting and want to try something a little different.
For a scrunchie, use your fingers to knit yarn onto an elastic band.
At first, the steps may seem complicated, but once you get used to the process, it goes smoothly.
Using fluffy yarn gives the finished piece a cute, puffy texture.
Making flowers with yarn

Those soft, fluffy petals are so cute! Here are some ideas for making flowers out of yarn.
When you hear “flowers,” many people probably picture fresh blooms, but this time let’s try making adorable flowers with yarn.
All you need are your favorite colors of yarn, a yarn needle, and parts like pearl beads.
They’ll look lovely arranged as hair ties, keychains, or brooches.
You can make the petals just by wrapping the yarn around your finger, so even elementary school kids can give it a try with ease.
Easier than finger knitting! Straw knitting

Let’s try knitting with tools! It’s easier than finger knitting! Here are some ideas for straw knitting.
Many of you may have tried quick and easy finger knitting because it doesn’t require any preparation.
How about leveling up and challenging yourself with straw knitting this time? It’s actually smoother to knit than finger knitting, so it’s highly recommended! You’ll need items like straws, yarn, decorative pom-poms, and glue.
In the video, we make a scrunchie.
Be sure to give it a try!
