rope coaster

[Easy DIY] Perfect for summer! Ocean-inspired rope coasters you can make with 100-yen store materials

Easy to make! Here’s a DIY idea for a rope coaster.

First, draw a circle of your preferred size on a clear plastic file.

This circle will determine the size of your coaster.

After applying glue over the circle, start arranging the rope in a spiral from the center of the circle.

Once the entire circle is filled with rope, cut the rope and glue the ends together so it doesn’t unravel.

Press down on the rope from above to smooth the surface, then cut the clear file to match the size of the rope.

That’s it! Choose any rope color you like.

Crafting with a tissue box! Remake it into a supply/tool box. #diycraftideas #easycrafts #craftswithhouseholditems

You can make a cute little tool box from an empty tissue box.

How about making a small box to store items like pens and masking tape that tend to get scattered? First, cut a diagonal slit in the top of the empty tissue box and remove only the long side.

Apply double-sided tape to the remaining three sides and fold them inward.

Prepare another box—this will be the lid.

Cut it so that only the bottom and its rim remain.

Use the leftover box material to make a handle and attach it to the lid with a split pin.

Finally, add a tab to insert and it’s complete.

basket-style accessory case

[Crafting with Empty Tissue Boxes: Making Small Items] A basket-style accessory holder ♪ #handmade #DIY #handicraft #craft #emptytissuebox #seniors #howto

Let’s start by making the basket’s body.

First, cut around the tissue pull-out opening with scissors.

Keep the piece you cut out—it will be used as the basket handle.

Draw a line down the center of the remaining box and mark points at equal intervals from there.

It’s easier to fold if you crease it in advance, so make the creases first and then shape it into a basket.

Secure the overlapping creases with double-sided tape to finish the basket.

Attach the handle you saved, then decorate it with your favorite origami paper.

You’ll have your very own basket-style organizer.

It’s easy to make, so it’s also recommended as a recreation activity in senior care facilities.

DIY a tissue box · Origami gift box · Mr. Coin Origami Channel 15

Open the tissue box and flatten it.

Cut off the left and right sides, then cut down the middle to make it a single sheet.

Fold it in half with the printed surface facing inward, then fold it in half once more.

Open it once, fold down all four corners, and continue folding while shaping it into a box.

For the final overlapping part, securing it with a clip will make it more stable.

Our hands have tactile senses that perceive touch, temperature, and texture through sensory nerves.

Therefore, using our hands is said to stimulate the brain and help prevent cognitive decline.

The tissue box used this time has a moderate firmness and requires applying pressure with the fingertips when shaping it, so it may be even more effective.

basket

[Small Item Holder Made from a Tissue Box] The basket-style design looks adorable♪ #handmade #diy #handicraft #craft #seniors #howto

Putting sandwiches in a hand-woven basket and heading out—it’s the kind of scene you might find in Anne of Green Gables, isn’t it? Baskets still feel a bit unfamiliar to many in Japan, but why not try making one out of tissue boxes? A single box is too small, so let’s combine four tissue boxes.

Put the four together to make one large box, and use the leftover paper to add a handle—that’s the basic idea.

Then decorate it however you like with lace or fabric scraps.

It could be great for a summer vacation project, too!
