Small item storage shelf

[Ultra-Easy 100-Yen Store DIY] A small accessory storage shelf you can make for 300 yen #diy #100yenstore #100yendiy #Seria #handmadefurniture #storage #interior #selfrenovation

By using wall shelves sold at 100-yen shops, you can easily make a small storage rack! All you have to do is stack three wall shelves and glue them together, so you can even do it in a spare moment.

Of course, you can use it just with the glue, but if you want to put in a bit more effort, try staining or decorating it! If you apply masking tape before painting, the areas where you peel off the tape will become a pattern, and adding tiles to the sides of the shelves would look cute, too.

small pouch with handle

You can make that with bamboo from DAISO! #100yenShop #100yenDIY #DAISO #YouTube #YouTubeShorts

Let me introduce a small handled organizer made from straws.

Lately, you often hear the word “sustainable,” meaning environmentally friendly.

Bamboo straws, which are an eco-conscious alternative to plastic, are even sold at 100-yen shops.

Take 10 bamboo straws and secure them together with glue, then attach them to a small wooden plate with holes.

Glue bamboo straws to both sides as well, insert a bamboo straw into the plate’s hole, and it’s complete.

It’s perfect for holding remote controls or seasonings.

Since it’s made of bamboo and wood, you can create a piece that feels warm and handmade.

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.

Flower Keychain

@salt_kosodate

The trick to not failing is… heat control!! 1) The cleanest finish is with a hot water bath (but it takes time to melt!). 2) If you have an oven, check after about 2 minutes at 200°C and reheat if needed! ↑ I don’t have one, so I couldn’t test this 🙏 3) If you have a toaster oven, start checking after 1 minute on the lowest setting. Doing 2 sets of 1 minute at 170°C will almost completely melt it! If you heat it all at once, bubbles will form, so I recommend low and slow! It’s definitely better to make one test piece rather than jumping straight into the real thing 🙌🏻 Also, even if you pack it full, the glue volume will shrink a lot once it melts, so add clear glue partway through and aim to fill it so it’s just shy of overflowing the mold—then it turns out nicely 😊 Materials: • Glue sticks — having clear as well as colored is GOOD • Mold • Glitter • Screw eye pins (heaton) • Ball chain • Backing card When an adult’s help is needed: • Glue sticks are hard, so have an adult do the cutting • Right after heating it’s very hot, so adults should be careful too! • Attaching the screw eye pins is a bit tough, so it’s good for an adult to handle 😊 Other than that, let the child take the lead and just watch over the parts they can do—it’ll be fine! Hope you make a wonderful gift 🌟 Cost breakdown (about 300 yen): • Clear glue sticks: ~50 yen (half a pack) • Colored glue sticks: ~40 yen (less than half a pack) • Screw eye pins: ~10 yen • Chains: 200 yen (2 packs) ← This is the pricey part 😂#AtHomePlayEducationalwork#Graduation from kindergarten　HandmadePresent

Let’s try making keychains using colorful glue sticks.

Glue sticks are used with a glue gun, a tool that bonds with heat, and they come in a variety of colors.

Cut the glue sticks into short pieces and place them into a mold.

If you add glitter to the mold as well, you’ll get a sparkly keychain.

After heating in a toaster oven or regular oven, remove them from the mold once they’ve hardened.

Trim any excess that sticks out with scissors, attach the keychain hardware, and you’re done.

Depending on the mold, you can make many at once, so they could make great gifts for friends.

Small storage box with a lid

You’ll be hooked! Wait before you throw it away! Turn a tissue box into a cute lidded trinket box♪ Great for bazaars or gifts too! How to make a trinket box from a tissue box

It’s handy to have a small container for little items like snacks or stamps, isn’t it? The ones sold at variety stores are nice, but you can make one with things you have at home.

Prepare an empty tissue box.

Take the box apart and cut it so you get a rectangle.

Fold it to create eight equal sections, and you’ll end up with an octagonal piece.

Cut the lid into an octagon as well, add some padding, and cover it with fabric.

Using double-sided fabric tape makes it easy.

Attach fabric to the sides of the box body, and you’re done.

Try changing the fabric pattern to make the box cute or give it a chic look—have fun customizing it!

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.
