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.

3-tier card case

Sew it just once! How to make a 3-tier card case
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?

[Punch Needle] Jute Bag

[Punch Needle] Jute Bag

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.

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.

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.

topiary

[100-yen shop Seria] Easy Artificial-Flower Hinamatsuri Topiary Tutorial / 2-Way Design That Also Works as a Ball Bouquet
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.
