[Grown-up Cute] Easy Handmade Ideas for Miscellaneous Goods and Interior Accessories

Tabletop clay accessories

http://www.lemon8-app.com

Small clay mascots that can sit on a tabletop test your attention to detail precisely because you’re aiming for a compact, easy-to-display size.

While you’re free to create whatever you like, it’s fun to build a unique world with things that don’t exist in reality—like a pig popping out of a flowerpot or a sheep blooming like a flower.

Paying close attention to details such as the pig’s and sheep’s coats to craft them finely adds realism, which in turn makes the finished piece’s strangeness stand out even more.

Using clays in a variety of colors for a colorful finish is a key point that enhances the joy of both the making process and the display.

There are all kinds of resin craft pieces, aren’t there? Earrings, keychains, and hair ties, perhaps? Hair clips made with your favorite resin mold are lovely too.

Adding components like beads, dried flowers, or gold foil makes the finish even more beautiful.

Coloring them to match the season is also a great idea.

These days, many resin craft supplies are sold even at 100-yen shops in the craft section.

If you’re thinking, “I want to try making something with resin, but since it’s my first time I don’t want to spend much,” you can start casually without a big budget.

Flower Keychain

@salt_kosodate

The trick to not failing is… heat control!! 1) The cleanest finish is with a hot water bath (but it takes time to melt!). 2) If you have an oven, check after about 2 minutes at 200°C and reheat if needed! ↑ I don’t have one, so I couldn’t test this 🙏 3) If you have a toaster oven, start checking after 1 minute on the lowest setting. Doing 2 sets of 1 minute at 170°C will almost completely melt it! If you heat it all at once, bubbles will form, so I recommend low and slow! It’s definitely better to make one test piece rather than jumping straight into the real thing 🙌🏻 Also, even if you pack it full, the glue volume will shrink a lot once it melts, so add clear glue partway through and aim to fill it so it’s just shy of overflowing the mold—then it turns out nicely 😊 Materials: • Glue sticks — having clear as well as colored is GOOD • Mold • Glitter • Screw eye pins (heaton) • Ball chain • Backing card When an adult’s help is needed: • Glue sticks are hard, so have an adult do the cutting • Right after heating it’s very hot, so adults should be careful too! • Attaching the screw eye pins is a bit tough, so it’s good for an adult to handle 😊 Other than that, let the child take the lead and just watch over the parts they can do—it’ll be fine! Hope you make a wonderful gift 🌟 Cost breakdown (about 300 yen): • Clear glue sticks: ~50 yen (half a pack) • Colored glue sticks: ~40 yen (less than half a pack) • Screw eye pins: ~10 yen • Chains: 200 yen (2 packs) ← This is the pricey part 😂#AtHomePlayEducationalwork#Graduation from kindergarten　HandmadePresent

Let’s try making keychains using colorful glue sticks.

Glue sticks are used with a glue gun, a tool that bonds with heat, and they come in a variety of colors.

Cut the glue sticks into short pieces and place them into a mold.

If you add glitter to the mold as well, you’ll get a sparkly keychain.

After heating in a toaster oven or regular oven, remove them from the mold once they’ve hardened.

Trim any excess that sticks out with scissors, attach the keychain hardware, and you’re done.

Depending on the mold, you can make many at once, so they could make great gifts for friends.

Remake can

[How I Spent My Time During Self-Restraint #2] I Tried Making Remade Cans Using Empty Cans at Home! [Iron Paint]

You often see and hear about remake cans using empty cans, but you might wonder, “Are they easy to make?” Turning empty cans you’d normally throw away into stylish items feels like a great deal, and it really suits the times, doesn’t it? You can use any kind of can—tomato, tuna, mackerel, whatever.

Peel off the label first, then apply a primer, which is a base coat that helps the paint adhere better.

After that, paint over it; regular paint works, and you can even use leftover acrylic paints you have at home.

If you dab the color on with a sponge, it gives a nice texture.
