My Neighbor Totoro BUS STOP Diorama // DIY Studio Ghibli Crafts

Today we dive into the delightful world of Studio Ghibli, and finally make a My Neighbor Totoro diorama! Sure, we could go with any number of scenes for a diorama, but only the Bus Stop scene lets us make *REAL RAIN. So whether you’re camp “J-hibli“ or camp “G-hibli“, hop on into the absolute fever dream that is My Neighbour Totoro! ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Want to help the channel?
