[Grown-Up Cute] Easy Handmade Ideas for Miscellaneous Goods and Interior Accessories (91–100)
towel rabbit
The towel bunny has a fluffy feel, just like a stuffed animal.
Its design is so clever that it might look difficult, but it’s actually easy to make by hand.
All you need are items you can find at a 100-yen shop, like a towel, rubber bands, tape, and colored paper.
The key to a good finish is shaping the bunny’s form with the towel.
Since you use your fingers during this step, it can also help with rehabilitation for older adults.
Once you’ve created the shape, all that’s left is to decorate it cutely.
Have fun making it together!
herbarium
Herbariums are art pieces made by placing plants in a transparent container and adding oil or gel.
Their allure lies in the dreamy designs that look like flowers blooming underwater.
You can enjoy making them in various ways, such as using commercial kits or gathering materials from 100-yen shops.
The process is simple: put the plants into a clear container and pour in the oil or gel to finish.
Be mindful of securing the plants so they don’t float, while also avoiding anything that would interfere with the design.
Choosing the right plants and decorations is also important, and it’s recommended to stick to a unified color scheme.
Himmeli
Himmeli are traditional Finnish decorations.
They are made by creating polyhedrons from rye straw and thread, then connecting them together to enjoy as mobile-like interior decor.
Let’s try making these stylish himmeli easily! With just twine, straws, and wire, anyone can make them with no fuss.
The basic method is simply to secure the thread to the wire, thread it through the straws, and tie it off.
Adding tassels or beads, changing the size to make double layers, or attaching them to a rod for a mobile-style look are all cute ways to customize them.
Felt ball ornament
These cute balls made with felt may look intricate and difficult at first glance, but they’re actually not that hard—just a repetition of simple steps—and they make great decorations for many occasions.
Start by preparing a circular template in your preferred size, cut out circles from felt, then cut each circle in half to make semicircles.
Fold each semicircle in half again and glue the straight edge with a hot glue gun.
Make more of the same pieces and connect them together.
Using two colors looks adorable, and they also make perfect ornaments for Christmas.
macrame tassel
Macrame has firmly established itself as an interior decor staple—you often see stylish homes on social media adorned with macrame tapestries.
Here’s an idea that uses macrame to make tassels and turn them into a garland.
Macrame might sound difficult and make you want to give up, but if you take your time and follow a video, you’ll be fine.
Just tie a few square knots to secure it, then comb out the ends to complete a macrame tassel.
Make it in a single color for a chic look, or go colorful for a fun, summery finish.
Macramé tassel keychain
Macramé items—interior decor and small accessories—have been drawing attention for a few years now.
You’ve probably seen macramé wall hangings or plant hangers on social media.
While macramé may seem like something only advanced crafters do, did you know small pieces like keychains are actually easy to make? Use your preferred keychain hardware and try making one with macramé cord in your favorite color.
Using two or more colors makes it look a bit more intricate.
There are many knotting methods, but if you’re only doing a few rows, it’s super easy!
Photo frame made with macramé
Let’s make a photo frame by arranging macramé without using knitting needles! The main tasks are weaving and tying by hand, and once you master the knots, it’s just repetition—so even beginners can take it on easily.
You can also customize it to fit your favorite photo size.
A photo frame full of natural charm can be enjoyed as a tapestry-style decoration as well.
It’s perfect for enjoying handmade crafts yourself or as a gift, so why not give it a try?
