Why not try your hand at sweets art with “sparkly inedible desserts”? They look just like real jelly! But… in fact, they’re entirely handmade fake sweets.

Using resin sheets, glitter, and clear materials, this craft lets you create jewel-like desserts you can’t eat.

Their cute, mysterious look will captivate anyone who sees them! Most people will probably think, “I’ve always wanted to taste a dessert like this at least once.” They’re sure to be eye-catching, photogenic pieces.

Plus, put them on a light base and they glow! It’s the perfect finishing touch for a romantically charming sweet.

Corner clip rice balls and sandwiches

Let’s make onigiri rice balls and sandwiches using corner clips for holding papers! For the onigiri, stick double-sided tape on the clip, then attach white, long-pile yarn to it.

Next, glue a small square of black felt on top to act as the seaweed, and it’s done! It’s also fun to tuck pieces of felt that look like fillings into the gap of the clip.

For the sandwich, prepare white felt cut into a triangle like bread, and felt cut into shapes for ham and lettuce.

Stick them together with double-sided tape in the order of fillings, then bread, and you’re finished! You can customize both the onigiri and sandwiches by changing the colors of felt and the types of “fillings” you cut out.

Studio Ghibli’s works are captivating not only for their profound storytelling but also for their meticulous visual expression—especially the way food is depicted so enticingly.

fake acrylic keychain

“You really don’t need shrink plastic or resin?” Make an acrylic keychain in 10 minutes with 100-yen shop materials! I cut all the corners and it still turned out super easy ♪ How to make a fake acrylic keychain

Acrylic keychains are appealing items thanks to their sturdy material, letting you show off the cute designs without worrying much about them breaking when you hang them on a bag.

With that acrylic keychain image in mind, how about making a durable keychain using simple materials? The main component is a sticker of the character you want to feature on the keychain; you cut it out and wrap it with tape to give it an acrylic-like look.

To make it more colorful and more durable, it’s also important to consider which tapes you use and how much you layer them.
