side table

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.
Design charm

Have you heard of gel nails, the kind you see on menus at nail salons? Gel nails are created by curing a gel-like resin onto your natural nails.
They give a plump, glossy finish that looks beautifully polished.
Let’s try making a lovely charm using gel nail resin sold at 100-yen shops.
We’ll make the base with UV resin.
Pour resin into a mold, add decorative items like alphabet stickers, and cure it.
Then apply the gel nail resin and decorate with gold leaf, etc.
Next, coat with resin and cure to complete the piece.
Attach your preferred charm hardware to finish it off.
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!
wagon

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.
Handmade croissant craft
https://www.tiktok.com/@n.annlee321/video/7404764006663130385Croissants, whose toasty aroma practically comes through just by looking at them, are a popular bread across generations.
Let’s recreate that delicious croissant appearance using materials you can get at a 100-yen shop.
For the base, cut a puzzle mat into three different sizes, then glue them together while creating steps.
Once the base is complete, apply double-sided tape across the entire surface and wrap brown yarn around it to mimic the look of a croissant.
Since the layered dough and variations in browning are part of a croissant’s appeal, experiment with how you wrap the yarn and also use paint to reproduce these details effectively.

Original watch

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.
shelf

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.
In conclusion
With items you can find at 100-yen shops, you can easily enjoy making cute handmade creations.
One of the charms is that you can arrange things freely without worrying about material costs.
Why not take it slow and enjoy some adult crafting time while looking for your favorite materials? The pieces you make can be enjoyed in various ways—display them as interior decor or give them as gifts.
