Looking for a simple and enjoyable craft project you can complete at home? A excellent place to start is by making a cardboard lollipop dispenser! It can be a useful addition to your kitchen or living area in addition to being a fun activity for youngsters. This is how you create one:
Materials include a cardboard box, a ruler, a pencil, scissors, a craft knife, glue, colored paper, and clear tape. 1. Split the cardboard box in half, being careful to leave the flaps in tact.
2. Take a measurement of the box’s center and mark it on one of its long sides. 3. From the top to the bottom of the box, cut a rectangle, leaving a thin border all the way around. 4. To make the base for the dispenser, fold the box’s flaps outward. 5. To make the entrance for the lollipops, cut a smaller rectangle from one of the flaps. 6. Glue colorful paper to the box’s outside to completely cover it. 7. To create a door for the lollipops, use transparent tape to connect the cardboard flap to the interior of the dispenser.
After creating your lolly dispenser, why not try creating some entertaining squishy toys? Making balloon squishies is simple and enjoyable. Simply blot a balloon with rice or flour and tie the end. Then, on the balloon, create amusing faces or patterns with colorful markers. The balloon can be compressed and squeezed to form a delightful stress ball or fidget toy.
A squishy egg is a great DIY toy as well. A balloon, a plastic Easter egg, and some playdough are required for this activity. Playdough should be added to the balloon until it reaches the size of the plastic egg. Trim the balloon’s top, then carefully take the playdough out. Close the plastic egg after adding the playdough inside. The egg should next be covered with the balloon and colored with markers.
A Valentine box is a terrific idea if you’re looking for a Valentine’s Day craft. These containers are ideal for holding greeting cards, sweets, or tiny gifts. Start with a shoebox or cereal box to create a straightforward Valentine’s box. The box should be covered in colored paper, then embellished with hearts or other Valentine’s Day patterns. Make a hole in the box’s top so you can insert cards and presents.
Last but not least, if you enjoy Starbucks, why not design a Starbucks Valentine’s Day box? Start with a cardboard box and paint it to resemble a Starbucks cup or cover it with brown paper. Create the logo out of white paper, then adorn the box with hearts and other Valentine’s Day accents. For the coffee fan in your life, stuff the box with Starbucks gift cards, candies, or other delicacies.
Overall, cardboard and other basic materials can be used for a ton of enjoyable and straightforward DIY projects that you can complete at home. These crafts are great for both toddlers and adults, whether you’re making a cute squishy toy or a candy dispenser. So gather your materials and go to work!
