A cool-looking square bag design 💕 Perfect for a summer vacation craft project, too 🥰🫶✨#100-yen-shop#100-yen shop DIY#Summer VacationSummer Vacation CraftDaiso

♬ Good luck to me tomorrow – NANAOAKARI

Let me introduce a square bag made with fluffy yarn.

We’ll use clear bag parts sold at 100-yen shops.

The bag parts will serve as the bottom of the bag.

Because they’re transparent, even though we use yarn, the bag still feels cool and airy.

Cut craft mesh, then stitch yarn onto the mesh with a needle so the yarn catches on the grid.

Connect the bag parts and the yarn-stitched mesh together with yarn.

For the handles, use chenille stems (pipe cleaners).

Adding pearls to the stems makes it even cuter.

Finish by attaching ruffles to the edge of the bag with double-sided tape.

It’s a breezy, lovely bag that both adults and kids will want to carry.

mini bag

[100-Yen DIY] Mini bags made from your favorite paper bags or design paper are super cute! Also great for supporting your faves♪ How to make a mini bag using design paper

This mini bag, which can hold cards and small items, can be made using only supplies from a 100-yen shop! The main item you’ll use is a soft B6-size card case.

With a sheet of paper placed inside the case, cut it 3 cm down from the opening.

Next, remove the paper you put inside, cut a piece of decorative paper to the same size, and decorate it with stickers or other design paper as you like.

Then insert the decorated paper into the card case, use the offcut from the card case you first trimmed to make gusset pieces, and attach them.

Finally, add a snap or tuck lock to secure the flap, and you’re done.

There are quite a few steps, but you’ll end up with a very polished piece, so take your time and enjoy the process.

Wall-mounted interior decor

A wall-hanging made from egg cartons is a striking piece that adds a sophisticated touch to any space.

Cut the egg carton into sections and shape them into petals, buds, and leaves.

Paint from the back side of the carton to preserve the glossy finish on the front.

Even this stiff material will form natural curves when heat is applied, resulting in flowers that look almost real.

For the flower centers, use tinted wood shavings to refine the details.

Paint the background food trays gently in yellow and white to make the blue flowers stand out.

Display the work in a frame-like arrangement to give it a painterly feel.

It’s an artful idea that can instantly transform the mood of a room.

Sofa-shaped accessory case

[No-Sew Remake] Turn an empty tissue box into a cute sofa-shaped accessory case ♪ Perfect for your fave plushie! How to make a sofa out of a tissue box

Let’s use tissue boxes to make a lovely sofa-shaped organizer you can place in your room.

Prepare two tissue boxes.

Cut and fold one box to create the base of the sofa.

Use the other box to make the sofa’s backrest and armrests.

Attach your favorite fabric to the sides of the tissue boxes.

For the parts where you add stuffing, cover them by making the fabric like a pouch.

Since you’ll use double-sided fabric tape, there’s no sewing required.

Once it’s finished, try placing a plush toy on it or decorating it with accessories.

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!

drawer storage

[Any size box is OK] Turn an empty tissue box into a cute drawer ♪ An easy DIY that will make you want to make lots of them ♪ How to make a drawer from a tissue box

This drawer-style storage is so functional you’d never guess it’s made from a tissue box.

Take the box apart, then cut and shape the outer and inner pieces separately.

After reassembling, punch a hole in the front of the drawer section, thread a knob through, and secure it with a screw and washer for smooth opening and closing.

Add dividers inside to neatly organize stationery and small items.

Decorate with design paper to give it a polished look that doesn’t feel utilitarian.

It’s a storage-focused idea that broadens the ways you can repurpose empty boxes.

Star-shaped shelf

A cute star-shaped shelf made from an ordinary empty tissue box

A star-shaped shelf made from a tissue box not only brightens up a space but is also perfect for displaying small items.

Cut both ends of the back of the box into triangles, remove the center section, and take off the film.

Next, make a star-shaped template using A4 paper and use it to cut cardboard.

Decorate with your favorite origami paper, then assemble the cut tissue box pieces into a star shape and attach the cut cardboard to secure it.

When hung on a wall, it becomes an eye-catching piece of decor, and you can enjoy seasonal variations.

It’s a creative idea that balances playfulness and practicality.
