[Chic and Cute] Easy Handmade Ideas for Home Decor and Accessories (31–40)
Cloud light
Place some fluffy glowing clouds, and your room will instantly transform into a cute space! Cloud-shaped lights are available commercially, but you can easily make your own with a plastic bottle, cotton, and a light.
To make it, cut the top of the plastic bottle to your preferred size and attach cotton around it.
Put a light inside the bottle, and you’re done in no time! However, leaving it on for long periods can pose a fire risk as the cotton may catch fire, so only use it when you want to enjoy the lighting effect.
wall shelf
Make a stylish wall shelf with just three items! All you need is a wooden board, some cord, and wall-mounted hooks.
Wrap the cord around two points on the left and right sides of the board, then bring the cords together in the center and tie a knot.
If you thread on D-rings, it’ll be even easier to hang.
After that, simply hook it onto the wall hooks and you’re done.
It’s less stable than a shelf fixed to the wall with nails, but it’s perfectly fine for displaying small, lightweight items.
Try making one yourself to add a fun accent to your room!
Memory bottle
Let’s stylishly display your favorite photos with a memory bottle! Use an app to resize the photos to a suitable size, print them out, and coat them with a self-laminating sheet.
Prepare a bottle with a relatively wide flat surface, attach the photo to the inside back so it can be seen through from the front, then place a clear protective sheet over it to secure it.
Finally, write a message or other text on the surface, and you’re done! If you swap the bottle cap for something like a cork-top fairy light, it will look just like an illumination display.
All the materials are easy to find, so give it a try!
aroma wax sachet
This content features a captivating, vibrant three-dimensional look, with artificial flowers embedded in wax of various shapes.
The key point is the use of scented aroma candles, which give off a gentle fragrance even without lighting them.
Simply melt the candle, pour it into a mold, arrange the artificial flowers as you like, then cool to set—done.
Another recommended option is to make a hole at the edge, thread a string through it, and hang it as a decoration.
Consider variations by changing the color of the candles you use, the types of artificial flowers, and the kinds of molds you choose.
Mini Aquarium
Recreate an aquarium that mimics the scenery of the sea or a river inside a small jar! Mix resin with colored sand and spread it on the bottom of the jar, then pour in more resin.
Add dried moss (processed from real moss), herbarium stickers, shells, and more, and once you’re happy with the arrangement, cure it.
Finally, pour in an appropriate amount of herbarium oil and close the lid to finish.
When adding the oil, pour slowly and carefully—if you pour too quickly, the neatly arranged parts may shift out of place.
macrame tray
The idea is to place braided macramé rope on a wooden tray.
It’s a very simple idea, but it looks stylish even when there’s nothing on it—that’s the charm.
Leftover macramé rope should be more than enough.
If you’re new to macramé, try looking at 100-yen shops or online.
There are many macramé knotting styles, so use whichever you like.
You can keep it simple with a single style, or combine several patterns and arrange them with a sense of balance.
[Punch Needle] Jute Bag
![[Punch Needle] Jute Bag](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/1_ZhX2Hgp_k/sddefault.jpg)
This project involves customizing a plain jute bag with punch needle embroidery to add a cute, three-dimensional touch.
First, sketch your chosen pattern on the bag, then use those lines as a guide to punch in the yarn.
Be sure to punch the yarn densely so there are no gaps, and experiment with a firm punching technique to prevent the loops from loosening.
Flat embroidery lets you showcase the design clearly, while three-dimensional embroidery adds presence.
It’s recommended to choose the embroidery method to suit what you want to create.
Bottled flowers
Just by putting dried flowers or artificial flowers in a jar, you’ve got a stylish decor piece! All you need are a jar, flowers, and wire.
Fixing the flowers with wire keeps them in place and looking neat, so a jar with a cork lid that you can insert wire into is recommended.
Insert a looped piece of wire into the cork lid, then wrap wire around the flower stems and bend the end into a hook.
Hook the flower-side wire onto the cork-side wire and close the lid—that’s it, your jarred flowers are complete!
wax bar
A wax bar is an aromatic candle you can enjoy by hanging it up without lighting it.
If you embed dried flowers or dried fruit and let it set, it also becomes a stylish accessory that brightens up your room.
Making one is very simple: place your favorite decorations in a wax bar mold, then pour in melted wax and a few drops of essential oil over them.
Once it hardens, remove it from the mold, make a hole in one spot, and thread a string through it for hanging.
Since wax can splatter, be mindful of your surroundings and clothing when making it.
Shaker keychain
Handmade resin keychain with a shakeable interior! Pour colored resin into a mold in the shape of your choice to create the keychain frame.
Place beads and other shaker contents inside the frame, then apply resin to the frame and attach a piece of laminated film cut to the frame’s shape.
Next, arrange any exterior decorations you like and repeatedly layer and cure resin over them.
Finally, attach the chain and you’re done.
It’s a perfect idea for those interested in resin or already comfortable working with it.
