tile coaster

[Craft Time] I tried making tile coasters♪

Let’s make stylish and practical tile coasters using items from a 100-yen shop.

First, expand your ideas and decide on a design.

Once you’ve settled on one, attach tiles to a wooden coaster to create a pattern, then spread cement over the top.

Wipe the cement cleanly off the tiles, let it dry, and you’re done.

There are convenient cement products available that you can use simply by mixing with water.

Use your favorite tiles to create lovely coasters!

tissue case

How to Make a Top-Loading Tissue Case: Easy, No Lining, Fits Boxless Tissues, with Subtitles

You probably want your tissue box cover to match your room’s decor, right? How about making one yourself with your favorite fabric? For this idea, use two pieces of fabric measuring 34 cm × 20 cm and two snap fasteners.

First, place the two pieces of fabric right sides together and sew along the bottom edge.

Next, sew the left and right sides, then sew across both bottom corners to create gussets, and turn the fabric right side out.

Attach the snap fasteners to the upper left and right edges, and you’re done.

Since it’s basically just straight stitching, even beginners at sewing should be able to give it a try.

Place a cylindrical base on top and use clay piping to create whipped cream.

Finish by decorating with parts like faux Pocky made from skewers and mint made with artificial greenery.

Paper cup basket

[Papercraft] Easy and stylish basket made from a paper cup | How to make a basket | Cute basket tutorial

Let me share an idea for making a basket out of paper cups! It’s a handy item you can use as a small container or for giving little gifts.

You’ll use two paper cups for this idea.

For the first one, cut off the rim, then make slits from the rim down to the bottom to divide it into 16 sections.

Slice the second paper cup into rings.

Thread the rings from the second cup onto the first cup so that the sides form a checkered pattern, and weave the basket.

Glue the excess at the rim, attach a handle, and it’s complete.

Remake can

DIY Beginner's Challenge!! Let's Make Antique-Style Remake Cans [Fujiwara Sangyo]

Let’s try upcycling an empty can into an antique-style piece! Start by painting the can.

You can use any color you like—just be sure to apply the paint in thin layers.

Next, dab a brown medium onto a sponge and gradually add a weathered, stained look to the can.

Finally, stick a label on the can, and you’re done.

Try decorating it with faux greenery or use it as a pen holder.

Make it with any size can you like—small, large, whatever you prefer.

Embroidery thread tassel

[Easy] How to Make a Tassel – Cute Accessories Made with Embroidery Thread, Perfect as Ornaments or Hair Accessories | How to Make Embroidery Thread Tassels – Easy DIY Tassel Making

A tassel is a versatile item that can be used as a keychain, earrings, or a bag charm.

Did you know you can easily make one with embroidery floss? Take a looped bundle of embroidery floss and tie it together at one point with another thread.

Cut the opposite end of the loop and trim the ends neatly.

Then tie another thread slightly below the first knot, and thread your choice of beads onto the first tied thread to finish.

Using a single color of embroidery floss works well, but mixing colors—like making it bi-color—also looks beautiful.

cloth slippers

A fun-to-knit, soft and comfortable fabric slipper collection

Would you like to try weaving your own soft fabric slippers? It’s easy: basically, you secure four cords with a firm knot, then simply weave a fabric strip over and under alternately through that base.

Once you’ve made the footbed, sew fabric tape to the left and right sides of the front half to form an arch.

Next, weave another fabric strip over and under through that section to create the instep.

The fabric sole is soft and comfortable to wear, and since you weave them yourself, you can make them in any colors you like.

They’re also recommended if you want slippers that fit your feet perfectly.
