DIY Sanrio Mini Keyboard Craft

• Watercolor paper
• Scissors
• Acrylic paint or markers
• Black marker
• Sheets of foil paper
• Glue

1. Create the Key Layout: Draw six squares, each 3×3 cm. Surround these squares with four additional squares of the same size—one above, one below, and one on each side. Add four flaps to the side squares.
2. Build the Keyboard Frame: Draw a rectangle measuring 3 cm high by 5 cm wide. On each side of this rectangle, draw a 3 cm square with two flaps. Above and below this rectangle, draw two additional rectangles, each 3 cm high.
3. Add Sanrio Characters: Sketch the faces of your favorite Sanrio characters. Cut out these shapes and color them.
4. Create Accordion Buttons: Cut strips of foil paper. Glue one end of each strip to the end of another, then fold them alternately to form an accordion. Make seven of these accordion strips.
5. Assemble the Keyboard: Glue the accordion strips to the buttons you created earlier. If the accordion strips are too long, trim them to fit.
6. Finalize the Design: Draw a 12×12 cm square. Attach an additional 3 cm rectangle to one side, then add two rectangles of the same size on either side of this new rectangle to frame the keyboard. Below this, draw another 12×12 cm square with an extra rectangle and some flaps on both squares.
7. Finish the Craft: On the first square you made, draw six 3.3×3.3 cm squares with a 5 mm gap between them. Draw a 5.3×3.3 cm rectangle below these squares. Cut out all the pieces, fold along the guide lines, and glue the flaps.
8. Attach the Buttons: Glue the accordion buttons onto the keyboard frame. Adjust the length of the accordion strips if necessary.

And you’re done! Enjoy your adorable DIY Sanrio mini keyboard!
