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

mini bag

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.
