Respect for the Aged Day: Handmade gifts that will delight. A curated selection of simple ideas (21–30)
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.
A card with a beautiful rose that pops out
Let’s send our gratitude to Grandma and Grandpa with a card featuring a beautiful rose! First, cut out three circles of the same size from construction paper in your favorite color.
Fold one of the circles into a shape resembling a triangle, make petal-shaped cuts, and then unfold it.
After unfolding, use a thin stick or similar tool to gently curl the edges of the petals.
For the other two circles, follow almost the same steps, but be careful: the number of petals and the way you make the cuts will differ.
Once each piece is shaped, layer them together—using any extra petals as well—and glue them onto the base card.
Finish it off by arranging them into a rose, and your card is complete!
magnet
I want to stick them on the fridge or a whiteboard! Here are some magnet ideas.
Some grandparents might use magnetic boards to post notices and papers.
In times like that, how about making and gifting some cute magnets they can use? All you need are magnets, fabric scraps, thread, and fabric glue.
Buying fabric with a lovely design is great, but if you upcycle clothing your child has outgrown, it will feel even more heartwarming.
Help Ticket
It can become a keepsake too! Here are some ideas for “help tickets.” Some kids might be thinking, “I want to help my busy grandpa and grandma!” In that case, help tickets are a great idea.
This time, let’s make original help tickets using colored construction paper, a perforation cutter, and pens.
By adding tear lines with a perforation cutter, the tickets will tear off cleanly and satisfyingly!
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!
