Grown-up Cute: Easy Handmade Ideas for Accessories and Interior Decor (11–20)

Miniature house

[100-Yen Shop] How to Make a Tiny Clay House 🏠 Tips to Make It Cute 🤗 Super Easy ✨
Miniature house

Recommended for anyone who wants to add cute accessories to their room’s interior! Here are some miniature house ideas.

These are made with unglazed-style clay sold at 100-yen shops.

The basic method is to shape the clay into a house, then use tools to create the roof, windows, and door.

After drying for 2–3 days, paint it and attach it to a base to finish.

It costs very little and lets you create decor in your favorite style, so if you enjoy clay crafts, why not give it a try?

chunky knit cushion

[Make it in 30 Minutes] Donut Cushion with Chunky Yarn [Chunky Knit]

Cushions made with super bulky yarn, or chunky yarn, are fluffy and just irresistibly cute! Since chunky yarn has stuffing inside it, you don’t need an inner cushion.

Knit it into any shape you like—donut, tube/cord, or a standard square—and once you’re done, tuck the yarn tail inside so it doesn’t show, and you’re finished.

Even if you find regular-yarn knitting too fiddly to get right, you might be able to get great results with extra-thick chunky yarn.

Give it a try!

aroma stone

Aroma stones that let you enjoy fragrance without using fire can actually be handmade with plaster from a 100-yen shop.

Just mix plaster with water, pour it into a mold, and wait for it to harden—it’s a great DIY idea for beginners.

There are many types of molds available, so try finding a shape you like.

Plaster is basically white, but if that’s too simple, you can color it by mixing in some paint.

When adding the water, dissolve a little paint and mix it in.

half wreath

By getting creative with how you decorate the wreath—filling the center gap and giving one half plenty of volume—you can create an arrangement that looks almost like a basket.

Start by filling half of the wreath with gauze or similar material, then firmly attach various artificial flowers so there are no gaps.

Once you’ve decorated half the wreath with the flowers, adorn the remaining section as well, and for a basket-handle effect, add accents like lace or ribbons.

Be mindful of how you layer the flowers for more volume and pay close attention to color balance as you decorate.

[Resin] Chopstick Rest

[Resin] Chopstick Rest

These days, resin tools are available even at 100-yen shops, so many people are enjoying making resin crafts.

Why not take this opportunity to start working with resin yourself? Here’s an idea for chopstick rests made with resin.

Nuance art using mirror powder and color gel looks beautiful against the clear resin.

Since you’ll paint the art with a brush, try designing it with your own sense of style.

Using sequins or glitter can also give it a glamorous finish.

Glass sand art

How to Make Glass Sand Art (Easy for Beginners and the Clumsy, Too!)
Glass sand art

Glass sand art involves pouring colorful sands into a glass containing a potted houseplant to create beautiful layers.

All you need are a plant in its pot, a glass large enough to comfortably fit that pot, and several colors of sand.

Place the potted plant into the glass, then pour sand around it.

The key to creating clean layers is to slowly add small amounts while rotating the glass to keep the balance.

Once the pot is fully concealed, you’ll have a high-quality piece that’s hard to believe was made just by adding sand!

suncatcher

[100-Yen Handmade] I tried making a sun catcher using parts from Seria☆ How to make it / Remake / DIY
suncatcher

A sun catcher that sparkles as it reflects sunlight.

You’ve probably seen them hanging by windows or inside cars.

You can easily find parts for sun catchers at 100-yen shops and the like.

As long as the pieces have holes for threading fishing line, they don’t have to be specifically made for sun catchers.

Once you have the parts you want to hang, some thread such as fishing line to connect them, and crimp beads to secure the parts, all you have to do is string them onto the line in any order you like.

If you use crimp beads between the parts, you can create space between them.

Gather your materials and give it a try!
