Pressed Flower Chopstick Rest
A gift that’s sure to delight! Here’s an introduction to chopstick rests made with popular resin and pressed flowers.
First, use a toothpick or similar tool to spread a thin layer of resin in the mold.
Be careful to avoid bubbles.
Next, add the pressed flowers.
Remember, the finished “top” side will be the back surface in the mold.
Cure it once under a UV light here.
After arranging the pressed flowers, pour in resin up to the brim, making sure there are no gaps.
Cure it under the light again, and you’re done! The curing time will vary depending on the mold’s thickness, so take care.
Adding glitter and other accents is also recommended.
Scrap fabric wreath

Stylish and cute! Here are some scrap-fabric wreath ideas.
If you have fabric scraps or clothes you no longer wear at home, try making a scrap-fabric wreath.
Take a wreath base made of Styrofoam and insert square-cut fabric scraps into it.
Using colorful scraps will create a beautiful finish! You can also decorate it with your favorite ribbons to change the vibe and make it even more fun.
Give it a try!
cushion cover

Make it a highlight of your interior! Here are some cushion cover ideas.
How about giving your grandparents a one-of-a-kind cushion cover for the cushions in their home? All you need are fabric, thread, and a sewing machine.
It’s lovely to present it once it’s finished, but choosing the fabric and making it together with your grandparents could become a cherished memory, too.
As a heartwarming gift, give it a try!
small accessory case
https://www.tiktok.com/@tomonite_official/video/7418878848705547541Let’s give a practical gift! Here are some ideas for small organizers.
Small containers are handy for holding stationery and little items that are easy to lose.
If you place one on a shelf near the entrance, it can also be used as a key holder.
This time, let’s make a small organizer using an empty tissue box.
You’ll need an empty tissue box, scissors, double-sided tape, origami paper, and masking tape.
Since this organizer comes with a lid, it should make it harder to lose things.
Spiral mobile

Hang them by the window or from the ceiling! Here are some ideas for spiral mobiles.
When you catch sight of a gift from a child in your daily life, it warms your heart, doesn’t it? This time, let’s make a fun-to-display spiral mobile and give it as a present.
You’ll need origami paper, scissors, glue, and thread or string.
It’s great to use double-sided colored origami, or ones with glitter or holographic finishes.
There’s no doubt a handmade gift like this will be a hit!
Memo clip

Here’s an idea for a memo clip featuring flowers that stay beautiful forever.
A memo clip is an item used to hold and secure notes, cards, photos, and the like.
This time, let’s make a cute memo clip by creating flower motifs with pipe cleaners.
You’ll need colorful pipe cleaners, a melamine sponge, decorative materials such as beads, paper napkins, a craft paper cup, scissors, and more.
It could be fun to customize the flower colors, designs, and number of blooms.
portrait (caricature)

Also great as an annual tradition! Here are some portrait ideas.
Children’s drawings have a special energy, don’t they? When you’re feeling down or missing your child, looking at a portrait they gave you can give you that “Okay, I can do this!” boost.
And if you give a portrait as a yearly gift, you can really feel how much your child has grown.
You’re sure to be soothed by portraits drawn with a child’s unique perspective and sensibility.
Framing it before gifting can add a special touch.
