Bracelets made with tape are highly versatile creations that let you freely express your favorite colors and patterns.

Use an OPP sheet as the base for the bracelet, then apply colored tape, origami paper, or patterned stickers you like.

Because the material bends, it fits comfortably around the wrist and is less likely to fall off when you move—that’s another plus.

Designing it to reflect your personal taste makes it more memorable for those who see it.

Wear a custom bracelet featuring supportive messages or your team colors, and your sports day will become an even more unforgettable occasion.

Hair elastic bracelet

[At-home Play] Easy Braided Hair-Tie Bracelet ⭐️ #athomeplay #stayhomeplay #athometime #athomeplayideas #handmade
Hair elastic bracelet

A bracelet made with hair elastics that’s fun to weave with your fingers and gives you a satisfying sense of accomplishment when it’s finished.

Hook two elastics over your fingers in a crossed pattern, then place the next elastic on top.

Lift off the bottom elastic and keep layering step by step to form the weave.

Repeat this motion, and when it reaches your desired length, tie off the ends to finish.

Using colorful elastics creates a vivid look, while pastel tones give a softer feel.

Because you can make it while seated, it’s perfect for break times or preparation periods.

Get into the rhythm of the weaving, make matching colors with friends, or coordinate designs by team—the possibilities expand with your creativity.

Lace paper tiara

[Handmade Tiara ❤︎] Materials: design paper (lace), lace paper (optional), pipe cleaners, glue, and decorations like sparkly stickers as you like.#RolePlayingPrincessPlaying princess#PrincessPlay#Pretend play

♬ Very Nice – aria

Let’s make a princess-style tiara using lace paper doilies you can even find at 100-yen shops.

Combining a round doily with a square doily folded into a triangle gives a more luxurious finish.

If you sandwich a chenille stem (pipe cleaner) in the middle, it’s easier to wear on your head and helps keep its shape.

Decorate with sparkly stickers or rhinestone stickers for an even more glamorous look, and you’re done.

A tiara perfect for princess pretend play is fun to make and fun to enjoy afterward, too.

Give it a try!

It might take a bit of time if you’re not used to sewing, but a “sailor-style detachable collar” is also one of the most charming costume items.

Matching T-shirts can instantly turn into matching sailor outfits, making it a great accent for dances or performances and sure to liven things up.

Another plus is that you can make it using only precut fabric and fabric tape from a 100-yen shop.

There are also videos uploaded on video sites that introduce patterns and walk you through the steps.

You can even use it as a stylish touch to everyday outfits, so give it a try at least once!

Bracelet made from a plastic bottle

If you want to make a bracelet that looks a bit more polished, I recommend one made from a plastic bottle! The process is a bit complicated and involves using an iron and a utility knife, so be sure to work with an adult.

To make it, slice the plastic bottle into rings, then apply an iron to the cut edge and roll it inward.

Once you’ve shaped it neatly, paint it with nail polish or add patterns, and you’re done.

The glossy finish makes a beautiful accessory, perfect for dance costumes at a school sports day!

Fluffy scrunchie made with faux fur

Scrunchies made with fluffy faux fur look so cute on your wrist, don’t they? Buying one is great, but you can actually make one easily using a hair elastic and faux fur yarn from a 100-yen shop! You just crochet the faux fur onto the hair elastic—no worries if you’ve never crocheted before! The only stitch you need to make this scrunchie is the basic single crochet.

With a little practice, you’ll get the hang of it, so give it a try!

oni; demon; ogre; spirit (depending on context)

Here’s how to make an oni costume without a pattern.

Prepare yarn, glue, and felt.

First, cut yellow felt, sew the waist and hem to form a skirt.

Attach tiger-stripe patterns cut from black felt, and insert elastic at the waist to finish.

For the oni horns, cut felt into a half-circle.

Shape it into a rounded triangle, then attach the tiger-pattern black felt.

Wrap yarn around a book to add volume for the oni hair.

Use the remaining yarn to secure the horns and the bundled yarn, and the horn mask is complete.

It’s a simple method, so give it a try!
