Volume scrunchie
Hair accessories are something you can never have too many of.
Scrunchies, which let you quickly style your hair and add a touch of flair, are great to have in multiples.
And if they’re made from your favorite fabric and in a design you love, that’s even better.
Why not try handmaking a scrunchie with lots of volume, just the way you like it? It’s easy to do.
By changing the size or pattern of the fabric, you can create all kinds of scrunchies.
Feel free to get creative with the variations.
Let’s handcraft an original, cute, and lovely scrunchie that’s uniquely yours.
flower vase
A flower base is what we commonly call a vase.
Here’s a chic DIY idea for a flower vase using an empty bottle and jute twine.
Even though it’s handmade, all you have to do is peel off the bottle label, clean it, and wrap and weave the jute twine around it like a net.
It’s an easy project that even beginners can try.
Jute twine comes in various colors, so it can be fun to choose a shade that matches the color of your bottle.
If you’ve already decided which flowers you’ll display, keep them in mind when deciding on your color scheme.
Smartphone case made with resin
How about making a resin smartphone case with a finish so polished it’s hard to believe it’s handmade? Prepare resin, a plastic phone case from a 100-yen shop or similar, pigment, colored wire, beads, and any decorations you like.
First, shape your preferred pattern with the wire, then apply resin to the case and attach the wire.
Next, pour in tinted resin and cure it, add decorations and cure again, repeating as needed, and finish with a final coating.
The key to a high-quality result is the wire pattern, so it might be best to start with larger designs for your first try.

Clay tray
Stylish accessory trays made with 100-yen shop paper clay.
Like a fun craft project, you can create your own original home decor items.
No advanced techniques or knowledge required.
Think freely about designs for the kind of tray you want, and bring them to life.
Clay is easy to handle and not a difficult material, so feel free to give it a try.
Once you shape the clay, let it dry for about 1–2 days, then sand the surface and edges with sandpaper.
When the clay feels smooth, add color and let it dry.
This is where you can really show your taste.
Once it’s finished, try displaying perfume or accessories on it.
UV resin design charm
We’ll show you how to make chic and cute design charms using UV resin.
You’ll need UV resin, resin molds, and accessory findings—everything can be sourced at 100-yen shops.
Arrange messages and sparkling pieces inside the UV resin mold and create with your own sense of style.
By changing the gel nail polish colors or swapping out the charms you embed, you can make a one-of-a-kind piece.
Attach findings to the holes in the resin parts, and your stylish design charm is complete.
Try making keychain-style charms—they’d make great gifts for friends, too.
Lavender stick
If you’re a fan of herbs, you’ve probably seen this at least once, right? Lavender sticks are known overseas too, and they’re used for fragrance and as an insect repellent.
Prepare seven lavender stems, floral wire, and ribbon.
Bundle the lavender and secure it at the base of the flowers with the wire.
Hold the flowers facing downward, bend the stems downward, folding them over to wrap around the flowers.
Then thread the ribbon between the stems, weaving it over, under, over in sequence between the stems.
You’ll tie the ribbon at the end, so be sure to cut it a bit long.
macrame keyholder
Let’s try making a handmade keychain using materials from the 100-yen shop.
Macramé is a type of textile art characterized by crossing and knotting to create beautiful decorations.
The knotting patterns may feel a bit difficult at first, but once you learn them and get used to the process, it’s not that hard.
Get accustomed to it little by little while watching videos.
Since you can review as many times as you like, you’ll get better and better at making them.
For macramé, use lace thread from the 100-yen shop.
A keychain featuring delicate macramé lace has a unique charm, and by the time you finish, you’ll be attached to it.
Why not practice a lot, make plenty of pieces, and create your very own macramé keychain?
