A piggy bank that helps you save while having fun

http://www.lemon8-app.com

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.

Key rack made from 100-yen shop materials

[100-Yen DIY] Easy Craft: Key Rack and Accessory Holder – Summer Vacation DIY

This is a key rack packed with ideas, made using photo frames.

Prepare three identical photo frames: two will form the body and one will be the lid.

Start by making the body.

First, cut a cork sheet to fit the inside dimensions of a photo frame, apply a decorative remake sheet, and attach it to the first frame.

Next, glue the second frame on top of the first.

That completes the body.

Then, use hinges to connect the third frame to the body as a lid.

Finish by attaching an arch latch.

By inserting aluminum pins into the cork sheet, you can hang your keys on them.

It’s a creative project that turns photo frames into a key rack.

Try painting it or adding your own touches to make it uniquely yours.

Sumikko Gurashi piggy bank

[Perfect for a Summer Vacation Project!] How to Make a Piggy Bank (Sumikko Gurashi)

I’ll introduce how to make a Sumikko Gurashi piggy bank out of origami.

Prepare two sheets of origami paper and one small sheet, then let’s get started.

Use the small origami paper to make the 5-yen coin part.

Fold the corners toward the center, then fold the surrounding corners as well.

It will form the shape of a 5-yen coin, so draw the details with a felt-tip pen.

For the base piggy bank, fold the origami toward the center to create creases.

Following the creases, tuck the paper inward to form a square box.

Make two identical boxes; on one of them, attach the 5-yen coin and draw the face.

The key point is to change the color of the origami depending on the character.

Let’s make a magnet that looks like a candy with twisted ends.

The materials and steps are very simple, so it’s highly recommended.

First, prepare strong magnets from a 100-yen shop, a plastic bottle cap, and a fabric scrap with a pattern you like.

Start by gluing the magnet to the back of the bottle cap.

Next, cut the fabric scrap to 14 cm by 10 cm, then fold back and glue three sides, leaving just one of the short sides unfolded.

Once the glue is dry, wrap the bottle cap with the fabric and secure it with glue.

Finally, to create the candy shape, gather and stitch the fabric at both ends with thread.

You’re done! Try making lots in different colors and patterns.
