[Chic and Cute for Adults] Easy Handmade Ideas for Accessories and Home Decor (41–50)
Fake green terrarium
Introducing stylish faux-green terrariums to brighten up your interior.
A terrarium is a gardening style where plants are grown inside a glass container.
Since we’ll be using faux plants sourced from 100-yen shops, no difficult care or cultivation skills are required.
Prepare your favorite glass jar and place your choice of faux greenery inside.
Succulent-style faux plants look especially chic.
Arrange them to suit your personal taste.
Close the lid, add a label, and you’ll have a perfect interior accessory that also makes a great gift.
Because the plants are artificial, there’s no maintenance required, and you can enjoy them for years.
3-tier card case
Let’s make a simple three-tier card case that only requires sewing once.
Prepare a rectangular piece of fabric you like, then vary the lengths to create stepped layers.
These will be the pocket sections.
Just press the folds with an iron to hold them in place; you won’t sew at this stage.
Make two identical pieces and stack them together.
Sew them right sides together, turn it right side out, and you’re almost done.
Attach a button at the end, and your three-tier card case is complete.
Why not try making it with your favorite fabric, whether a cute print or a chic solid?
topiary
This project is about recreating topiary—shaping trees and flowers—using artificial flowers.
First, attach a ball-shaped greenery to a stand, then insert artificial flowers into the gaps to create a rounded, vibrant look.
If you use large artificial flowers, height differences will occur, so it’s important to fill the gaps with smaller flowers to even out the surface.
A spherical form is a classic and easy shape to make, but you can create other shapes as well if you use a base material that can hold inserted stems, such as floral foam.
Fabric wreath made from scrap cloth
Let’s make a wreath using leftover fabric scraps you have at home.
Because you’ll use scraps in patterns you like, there’s no waste and you’ll feel more attached to the result.
First, gather your favorite small scraps.
Once you have a few types, cut them into squares of the same size.
Prepare a ring to serve as the base of the wreath, and use craft glue to attach the fabric pieces to it.
Keep adding pieces while checking the balance as you go.
When you’ve covered the base with no gaps, the wreath is complete.
Your precious scraps that you couldn’t throw away will be reborn as a cute and stylish decoration.
bonbon candle
Why not add a stylish touch to your interior with a handmade bonbon candle? Let’s make an original candle using hard-type soy wax.
First, coat the wick string with soy wax.
Once you’ve secured the wick in your preferred mold, pour in the melted wax from a pot.
If you pour too quickly, air bubbles can form, so pour slowly.
While the wax is setting, attach a pre-made name tag or similar accent to make it even more chic.
When the wax has fully hardened, remove it from the mold, add the tag, decorate, and you’re done.
pom-pom mat
Here are some handmade interior decor ideas to stylishly brighten up your room.
Make a mat finished with lots of yarn pom-poms, lanterns from glass jars, faux leather planter pods, photo boxes, and more—there are plenty of ideas.
All of these items are easy to make.
You can get everything you need at the 100-yen shop, and no special techniques are required.
Try creating your own original pieces.
Handmade interior goods make everyday life more enjoyable.
With simple, fun crafting, why not make your room and daily life more comfortable?
Hand-knitted headband
Introducing a super easy, quick-to-make hand-knit headband.
Prepare 1–2 balls of your favorite yarn.
Since you’ll hold two strands together, the stitches are large and it works up fast.
The stitch pattern is a simple herringbone—just repeat the herringbone stitch, so no difficult knitting techniques are required.
You can adjust the size to fit your head, making it smaller or larger as needed.
Once you get the hang of it, you’ll speed right through and finish in no time.
Depending on the color and texture of the yarn, you can create headbands with a variety of looks.
Why not try making a hand-knit headband that both adults and kids can wear?
Candy pot
Here’s a cute candy pot idea you can make with items from a 100-yen shop.
By combining unexpected pieces, you can create your own original, sparkly candy pot.
Gather a lidded glass jar, a decorative knob or handle part, and your favorite stickers for embellishment.
Use a hot glue gun to attach the base and the handle.
Fill the glass jar with candy, and your one-of-a-kind candy pot is complete.
It would make a delightful handmade gift for a friend.
If you tailor it to your room’s vibe, it can also serve as stylish decor.
[Craft Band] Bookmark
![[Craft Band] Bookmark](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/KVinmgqgNdE/sddefault.jpg)
This bookmark is made from craft band and features a cute ribbon-like look with wider ends, plus an appealing three-dimensional feel.
To make the ribbon piece, you create three loops from craft band and secure them at the center; gently bending them gives the final dimensional effect.
Then wrap a long piece of craft band around the center of the ribbon, fix it with glue, and add small decorative parts to finish.
Because it’s simple, you can try all kinds of variations—like combining different craft band colors and choosing different embellishments.
cushion cover
Here’s how to make a simple cushion cover without a zipper.
Let’s handcraft a cute, easy cushion cover without the tricky step of attaching a zipper.
You can choose any fabric you like—fluffy and cozy for cooler seasons, or light and breezy for warmer months.
If you want to make a cushion cover but find zippers a hassle, this method lets you finish one with ease.
It’s a simple design: sew a bag-like cover and tuck the fabric inside to close it around the cushion.
Try making different styles of cushion covers to match your mood or interior decor.
