Botanical candle

[100-Yen DIY] How to Make a Botanical Candle (with Detailed Explanation) / Making a Botanical Candle

Botanical candles are very popular as interior decor.

Let’s try making one using items sold at 100-yen shops.

Break a stick candle into about half and put it into the container that originally held cotton swabs, then place the rest of the candle in a pot and heat to melt.

Pour the melted wax into the cotton swab container, insert a wick, and let it set.

Next, place the hardened wax in the center of a larger cotton swab container than the one you prepared first, and add dried flowers around it.

You don’t need many flowers, but be careful not to add too many or the wax won’t be able to penetrate.

Pour in the melted wax, and once it has completely cooled and solidified, it’s done.

It’s a piece that’s sure to delight whether you make it for yourself or as a gift.

Iced Deco Cup

Let’s make an “icy deco cup” using interior stones and a cup sold at 100-yen shops.

All you need is your favorite cup, interior stones, a hot glue gun, and any decorative parts you like.

It’s really simple to make—just use the glue gun to attach the interior stones and parts to the cup! If you choose clear, colorless parts to match the interior stones, the whole thing will look like an ice glass.

You can use store-bought parts, or if you’re good with resin, you can make your own.

An Unfading Carnation

How about an everlasting carnation for Mother’s Day? #100yenShop #Handmade #100YenDIY #Daiso #Seria

Here’s an idea for a Mother’s Day gift: carnations that never wilt.

You’ll need a paper cup, tissues, air-dry clay, tissue paper (for flowers), and cotton swabs.

First, crumple a few tissues and place them in the paper cup to raise the bottom.

Next, roll the air-dry clay into a ball and press it into the cup so it mounds slightly above the rim.

Finally, cut the tissue paper into 3 cm squares and use the cotton swabs to press the pieces into the clay—that’s it! The softly crinkled tissue looks adorable, just like real carnations.

The final step of inserting the tissue is fun to the touch, so be sure to try it.

Miniature house

Make a miniature loft

Miniature house making is also recommended for those who enjoy detailed work.

This involves combining small pieces of wood, fabric, and other materials to create a lifelike little home.

Because it requires delicate handling, having tweezers on hand will help the process go smoothly.

I hope you’ll enjoy not only the crafting but also the time spent imagining what kind of house to make.

Once it’s finished, arranging figurines inside and taking photos is part of the fun.

Give it a try!

Original watch

[Elementary School Craft] Original Clock

Why not try making a one-of-a-kind original clock using a DIY clock kit? First, draw diagonal lines on a canvas board and drill a hole where the lines intersect to attach the movement.

Sketch a few ideas, then paint your design with acrylic gouache based on those sketches.

To make the numbers stand out, you can create them with paper clay.

If you prepare a template that divides a circle into 12 equal parts, it will be easier to decide the placement of the numbers.

Once you finish painting, attach the movement through the hole you prepared in advance.

Remaking a 100-yen shop clock

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.

wagon

[100-Yen DIY] No tools or screws needed! An easy way for anyone to make a storage wagon that fits perfectly into gaps / Daiso / Seria / Housewife in her 50s

Having a wagon cart is really handy, isn’t it? It doesn’t take up as much space as a shelf, and it’s great that you can quickly roll it to wherever you need it.

Here, we’ll introduce an idea for a wagon you can make using items from a 100-yen shop—no screws or tools required.

It’s lightweight and comes with casters, so you can carry it anywhere! The materials are wire mesh, wooden slats (sunoko), zip ties, and casters.

Bend the wire frame to adjust the size, connect it with zip ties to create the wagon base, insert the wooden slats as dividers, and attach the casters to the bottom to finish.

Since it doesn’t support a lot of weight, use it as a wagon for light items like kitchen paper or tissues.

side table

[100-Yen Shop DIY] I tried making an easy and cute side table using only 100-yen items [Seria/Cando]

Here’s an idea for a side table you can place next to a sofa or bed.

The materials are a wooden slatted pallet and a fabric board.

First, take the pallet apart and separate it into individual boards.

Next, use the pallet as the frame and arrange the fabric board as the shelf section, then glue them together.

At this stage, it should look close to what you envisioned.

However, since the glue could come loose, reinforce it with nails as well.

You can buy nails and a hammer at a 100-yen shop.

shelf

[100-Yen DIY] Easy for Anyone! 2-Way Slatted Shelf with Casters [Daiso DIY]

Let’s try making a shelf with casters.

The materials for this idea are a slatted wooden panel (sunoko) and a cutting board.

If you can match the tones and colors as much as possible, it will feel more cohesive.

Next, combine them so that the slatted panel forms the sides and the cutting board becomes the shelf surface.

Since wood glue alone might come apart, be sure to nail it securely.

Then attach casters to the slatted panel that will be the bottom, assemble it with the main body, and you’re done.

It’s lovely how you can feel the warmth of the wood.
