[ASMR] Collaging Antique Materials and Paints 🎧

Collage art has no rules—you can just make it freely, exactly as you like.

You can use things you have at home, like wrapping paper, patterned paper, masking tape, acrylic paint, or crayons.

Start with your favorite patterned or wrapping paper, then add color, write words, or stick on ribbons and washi tape.

Collaging in a notebook is great, but it’s also fun to fill a single sheet of drawing paper with your ideas, put it in a frame, and display it in your room as an interior decor piece.

[Fluffy Chenille] Toy Poodle

[DIY Tutorial] How to Make a Toy Poodle/Dog Using Fluffy Pipe Cleaners from the 100-Yen Shop/Seria #MoldDoll #PipeCleanerDoll #Handmade

We’re introducing a toy poodle made with soft, fluffy chenille stems that feel great to the touch.

First, use a pencil to create the base for the toy poodle’s face.

The key is to wrap the fluffy chenille while adjusting the size and keeping the balance.

When building the whole figure, the motions of bending, twisting, and threading the stems also help you develop a sense of three-dimensional form.

Once it’s complete, tidy up the fur, decide where the eyes will go, and attach them.

Having a photo of the dog you want to make on hand will make it easier to form a clear image.

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!

Watermelon tissue box

[How to Make] Watermelon Tissue Box — Modify a store-bought tissue box to create it!

Let’s make a watermelon-shaped tissue box that’s perfect for summer.

First, take the tissues out of the tissue box.

Turn the box on its side, cut along the side, and split it into two pieces.

Fold one piece down the middle, snip a slit, and bend it to a 90-degree angle.

On the other piece, make a slit as well and attach it to the folded piece.

Put the tissues back in and glue construction paper to the sides.

Create an opening for pulling out the tissues, and finish by applying fabric or paper so it looks like a watermelon.

The rounded, sliced-watermelon-style tissue box is super cute!
