3 simple coasters
How about making coasters as a summer vacation craft? Here, we’ll introduce three methods.
The first is a coaster made by arranging tiles on top of paper clay.
The second is a coaster made by lining up beads and melting them in the microwave.
The third is a summery coaster that expresses a seasonal scene by placing shells, sequins, and stickers in resin.
They’re all easy to make, so give them a try.
You can buy most of the materials at 100-yen shops.

Some people may think making homemade stickers is difficult, but with the steps introduced here, you can complete them with a simple process! What you’ll need: a clear file folder, water-based pens, liquid glue, and a glass wind chime.
Glass wind chimes are apparently available at 100-yen shops, so it’s nice that you can gather everything easily.
Draw your motif on the clear file with a water-based pen, then apply liquid glue over it and let it dry—your DIY sticker is done! Try decorating by sticking them all over the glass wind chime.
A wind chime made of a paper cup and jute twine
Unique and stylish! Let me introduce an idea for a wind chime made with a paper cup and jute twine.
If you’re going to make a handmade wind chime, many of you probably want to create something that won’t be the same as anyone else’s.
This time, let’s make a wind chime using a paper cup and jute twine.
What you’ll need: a paper cup, measuring tape, wooden clips, masking tape, pencil, ruler, scissors, jute twine, glue, an awl, cotton swabs, lace, colored paper, a hole punch, cotton thread, tape, bells, beads, and so on.
Give it a try!
perpetual calendar
Let’s make an economical and innovative perpetual calendar so you won’t have to buy a new calendar every year! As shown in the video, you can make it using cube-shaped wooden blocks from the 100-yen shop.
Prepare number and alphabet stickers, as well as some glue.
Paint the blocks in your favorite colors, and once they’re dry, add the date with number stickers and the day of the week with alphabet stickers.
The stickers alone may not stick well, so use glue to secure them.
Instead of stickers, you can also use stencils or write directly on the blocks.
It would make a great gift, too.
Mordor
This guide shows you how to make soft, cute dolls using pipe cleaners with fluffy fibers attached.
Even though they’re fuzzy, the core is still a pipe cleaner, so you can freely change the shape by bending and twisting to add curves.
Once you shape it like a framework, combine other pipe cleaners there to complete the overall base.
While deciding what pose the doll will take, adjust the angles, then assemble the small parts to create its expression as well.
uchiwa (Japanese hand fan)
A uchiwa fan is perfect for a summer craft.
Many households probably have a freebie uchiwa lying around at home.
How about using the frame of that fan to make a new one? If you don’t have a spare, you can pick up a uchiwa at a 100-yen shop.
Strip the fan down to just the handle and outer frame, cut a clear file folder to the size of the fan and attach it, then fill the inside with glitter or beads to create a see-through, shaker-style uchiwa! These days, there are plenty of uchiwa parts sold at 100-yen shops as cheering goods, so make use of those too!
