Introducing paper texture art, an art form that expresses images by layering and adhering paper.

Tear kitchen paper, place it in a cup of water, and add color to the paper.

Mix in adhesive to prepare the paste.

Pre-paint a background on the canvas.

Then place the prepared paper onto the canvas and shape it as you like.

Deciding in advance what kind of picture you want to create may help the process go smoothly.

Using bright colors is recommended.

♬ Simple, light and bright song – Kohrogi

Introducing a stylish, highly functional locker-style storage box.

Glue the panels together to form the box.

Line up and glue craft sticks, then paint over them.

Adding a nameplate will enhance the stylish look.

Prepare your favorite paint colors and think about the atmosphere you want to create based on where you’ll use it.

You can also adjust the size by changing the dimensions of the panels to fit your space perfectly.

It’s a great DIY project when you want to keep your room looking sleek while adding storage.

mini bag

[100-Yen DIY] Mini bags made from your favorite paper bags or design paper are super cute! Also great for supporting your faves♪ How to make a mini bag using design paper
mini bag

This mini bag, which can hold cards and small items, can be made using only supplies from a 100-yen shop! The main item you’ll use is a soft B6-size card case.

With a sheet of paper placed inside the case, cut it 3 cm down from the opening.

Next, remove the paper you put inside, cut a piece of decorative paper to the same size, and decorate it with stickers or other design paper as you like.

Then insert the decorated paper into the card case, use the offcut from the card case you first trimmed to make gusset pieces, and attach them.

Finally, add a snap or tuck lock to secure the flap, and you’re done.

There are quite a few steps, but you’ll end up with a very polished piece, so take your time and enjoy the process.

Remaking a 100-yen shop clock

Remake a 100-yen shop clock! Clip clock 👍✨Summer Vacation Craft#Summer Vacation Workshop#100-yen shop DIY#100-yen shop arrangement

♪ Original song – Nanmo-kun – Nanmo-kun

The part you can see from the back of a table clock or wall clock—the section with the battery compartment and the knob for setting the time—is called the movement.

You could say it’s the heart of the clock.

In fact, clock movements are sold on their own at 100-yen shops and home improvement stores, and you can use them to make your own original clock! If you’re good at woodworking, try starting from scratch by buying a wooden board and cutting a groove to fit the movement.

If that’s not your strong suit, there are also assembly kits with pre-cut grooves available, so you can use those instead.

Cake-shaped accessory case

[Even kids can make it] Cake-like trinket box 🍰Seasonal craftsChildcare ideasLife with childrenNursery teacher / Childcare worker#Creative PlayKids will love itChildren's Day#crafts#craftkids

♫ Winter Maple Leaves – Sasa.

Here’s an idea for a cake-themed trinket holder made with paper cups.

First, take one paper cup and cut straight from the rim down to the base, then cut out the base as well.

Use this as the template base, and decorate it by attaching felt or construction paper to make it look like a cake.

Once you’ve finished decorating the base, attach it to another paper cup, and you’re done.

It’s easy and cute, and you can customize the decoration however you like—highly recommended! With a bit more effort, you can even add a lid to the trinket holder, so give that a try if you have the time.

Refreshing! Square Bag

♬ Good luck to me tomorrow – NANAOAKARI

Here’s an idea for making a bag using bag hardware from a 100-yen shop, plant pot mesh, and yarn in your favorite color and material.

First, cut the plant pot mesh to match the size of the bag hardware, then crochet or stitch the yarn onto the mesh.

Once you’ve finished attaching the yarn, sew the mesh and the bag hardware together.

Finally, add the handles and your favorite decorations to complete the bag.

With this method as a reference, it seems like you could create all kinds of items depending on your ideas!

A piggy bank that helps you save while having fun

Let’s use Daiso’s 3-tier drawer case to make a fun, game-like piggy bank over summer break.

First, flip the second and third drawers upside down and reassemble them so the flat sides face the front.

Next, cut corrugated plastic (plastic cardboard) into any shapes you like and attach it to the outside of the drawers to create a design that looks great.

Inside, apply double-sided tape so coins pause partway and drop slowly as they travel down.

With a piggy bank you made yourself, saving money becomes fun and easier to turn into a habit.

It’s a unique, practical idea that can change your everyday life through creativity and ingenuity.
