We’d like to introduce a crochet pochette that adds a subtle accent to your outfit.

Since it’s a crochet project made with a single hook, even elementary school children can enjoy making it.

You can change the yarn color for the flap to your favorite shade, choose buttons you like, and find fun beyond just the crocheting itself.

You can make it with supplies sold at 100-yen shop craft sections, so it’s easy to get started.

How about chatting with the kids while you work on your crochet?

Aquabeads

http://www.lemon8-app.com

Aquabeads are easy and fun: just place the small beads on a tray and stick them together with water.

Kids can focus on their own, creating all kinds of shapes and colors at their own pace.

Using their fingertips improves fine motor skills, and thinking about what design to make really expands their imagination.

Plus, there’s no glue or ironing, so cleanup is quick and easy! It’s also great because kids can feel a sense of accomplishment by completing projects on their own.

Once they get used to it, they can even make 3D creations—give it a try!

Accessory box made from an empty box

Summer Vacation Craft Series ♡ Part 4: Making an Accessory Box from Empty Boxes [Koujoucho] DIY

Some children who love fashion may have lots of charms for rings or clothes, right? Since they can easily get lost, it’s handy to have a box that can store them all together.

Here’s an accessory box that’s practical too.

You can make it with an empty box you already have at home.

Add thickness by attaching pieces cut from a quilted surface to the lid and the sides of the box.

The soft, cushioned thickness gives it a luxurious feel, turning it into a proper jewelry box.

If you roll up some felt fabric and place it inside the box, you can store rings neatly.

The finished product won’t look like it was made from an empty box, so give it a try for inspiration!

♬ Monkeys Spinning Monkeys – Kevin MacLeod & Kevin The Monkey

Let’s make a cute bee keychain.

First, stick double-sided tape all over a chenille stem and shape it into a rectangle.

Wrap a yellow chenille stem around it, then wrap a brown one to create the stripes.

Make wings from a clear file sheet, attach them to the body with the brown chenille stem, and add eyes.

Finally, attach the keychain hardware and you’re done! With a bit of creativity, you can make all kinds of insects and animals, so try making your own original keychains.
