How about making your own version of your favorite snack package? First, buy the real product and carefully study its packaging.

Trace the shape onto construction paper or similar, and then recreate everything—the design and the text—just like the original.

After coloring it with pens or other materials, cut it out, assemble it, and you’re done.

It’s a task that requires patience, but the steps are very simple.

Find a package you love and give it a try!

Metal craft

@utatan_simple_crafts

← Fun original craft recipe Good evening, this is Utatan 🐰 We’re halfway through summer vacation… so this time I’m sharing a satisfying craft that even elementary schoolers will enjoy ✨ It’s an arrangement of a copper wire craft I tried at a neighborhood summer festival when I was in second grade, updated with transparent origami paper ✂️ That was the first time in my life I worked with metal, and it was a valuable experience where I learned: “Metal is a fascinating material—hard and durable, yet flexible enough to deform when bent or hammered with force.” Trying, touching, and using all kinds of materials really expands your world, doesn’t it? ♪ My daughter used a hammer and needle-nose pliers for the first time, and it became a special experience for her! (Tip: If you want to make fine curves or angles, use needle-nose pliers 👍) Metal isn’t often used in kids’ crafts, but this summer vacation, I’d love for you to try this project that lets you fully feel the properties of metal ☺️ Materials: • 2 mm aluminum craft wire (purchased at Daiso) • Transparent origami, aurora sheet • (Optional) Faux leather cord Tools: • Wire cutters, needle-nose pliers • Hammer • Work gloves • A brick or flat stone • Multi-purpose glue • Toothpicks • Scissors • Pen Caution: Please take great care to avoid injuries from wire ends and the hammer. Important: Because this is an original recipe, we prohibit the following: ▪ Unauthorized reposting of images/videos ▪ Commercial use of the work/recipe ▪ Publishing the instructions as videos/images ▪ Unauthorized use in paid craft/art classes or production workshops When posting reference works, please mention @utatan_simple_crafts ✨ We’re also looking forward to your “made it!” posts ☺️ ****************************************** Creating daily with my 5-year-old ♪ Original craft recipes for parents and kids to enjoy (We also sell craft kits and digital files 🌸) Utatan’s Simple Crafts → @utatan_simple_crafts ONLINE STORE →https://utatan-crafts.stores.jpThank you in advance 🐰✨work#I love craftsStained glassWire CraftSummer Vacation Craft#Summer vacation homework#HandmadeToysHow to Spend Summer VacationLife with childrenLife with children#HandmadeToys#diy#AtHomePlay#StayHomeTime

Let’s try a metal craft project using soft wire you can find at 100-yen shops and similar stores.

First, come up with a few patterns that can be drawn in a single stroke.

After cutting the wire to an appropriate length, shape it to match the pattern.

If bending it by hand is difficult, it’s a good idea to use tools like pliers.

Once the shape is made, hammer it to flatten the joints.

Then cut transparent origami paper to fit the pattern, and attach it from the back with glue to finish.

Cute paper cup finger puppets

[Easy Craft] Using Only Paper Cups! How to Make Cute Finger Puppets [Scissor Practice] [Cute]

Here’s an idea for making finger puppets using paper cups.

The example shown here is a dog finger puppet, but with a little creativity you can make all kinds of animals.

Once you have a paper cup, cut four vertical slits along the side and remove the excess parts while shaping the dog’s ears and the rings that go around your fingers.

The bottom of the cup will be the face, so draw any expression you like with a pen.

Paper cups come in various colors, so using different colors might expand your range of expression.

Cute glasses with moles

[Craft] Super Easy and Cute Pipe Cleaner Glasses! Finished in 5 Minutes! How to Make Them [Straw]

Let’s make cute glasses using pipe cleaners and straws.

First, think about the shape of the glasses you want to make—try sketching it out.

Round, square, star-shaped—anything you like is fine.

Once you’ve decided on the shape, form it with the pipe cleaners.

A single pipe cleaner isn’t very sturdy, so twist two together into one before shaping.

After the frame is done, thread straws onto the parts that go over your ears, and you’re finished.

If you use the accordion section of the straw over your ears, the glasses are less likely to slip off.

Five-shot rubber band chopstick gun

5-shot! How to Make a Chopstick Rubber Band Gun

With five disposable chopsticks and sixteen rubber bands, you can make a five-shot rubber band chopstick gun! Cut the chopsticks to the required lengths for the main body, trigger, and grip, then assemble them into a gun shape while securing each part with rubber bands.

Once the gun is complete, set five rubber bands with the trigger held in place, and you’ve got a chopstick gun capable of rapid fire.

It’s pretty exciting that you can make a rapid-fire chopstick gun so easily! When cutting, the ends can become jagged, so be sure to sand them smooth with sandpaper or a file to avoid injury.

Tapioca drink with tape

[DIY] Make Viral Nano Tape Bubbles: How to Make a Tapioca Boba Tea Squishy — Making a Tapioca Drink Milk Carton Squishy with Tape

How about making a tapioca (bubble tea) drink using transparent gel tape, which is also popular as a craft item? It’s a perfect craft idea especially for kids who love stylish designs.

Its charm lies in the realistic look, resulting in a finish that resembles a food sample.

The method is simple: use laundry starch (liquid laundry glue) and borax to create milk tea slime, and use gel tape to make a milk carton–shaped container.

Then add black deodorizing beads to represent tapioca pearls and square acrylic pieces to represent ice, along with the milk tea slime.

It’s a fun craft with a texture you’ll want to keep touching forever.
