How to Make Dazzling Gemstones

[Great for learning🥰] Easy crafts with things you have at home💕 #easy #cute #crafts @maa_chiiku_asobi

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.

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!

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!

Sparkling hourglass

[Easy Craft 🍉] How to Make a 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.

Introducing a scrunchie you can knit using your fingers.
