[Origami] Make a Flower Memo Stand with All Materials from a 100-Yen Shop! / At-Home Time / Origami /

Let’s gather the materials at a 100-yen shop and give it a try! Here’s an idea for making an origami flower memo stand.

A memo stand is an item that holds papers or cards with notes written on them, right? It’s practical because you can display messages or things you tend to forget.

What you’ll need: origami paper, wood glue, a needle bottle, tweezers, scissors, a wooden clip, and wire.

If you make the flowers with your favorite colors of origami paper, or colors that match the recipient’s image, your feelings are sure to come across.

These days, you can buy scraps with character prints or floral patterns at 100-yen shops.

Plus, pouches are convenient for carrying small items.

The time spent making one while thinking of the recipient will surely feel special, too.

Made from scrap fabric! Easy owl

How to make a cute and easy owl from fabric scraps – can be made by hand sewing or with a sewing machine – using Liberty fabric – How to make an owl – 如何制作猫头鹰 – Cómo hacer un búho

If you have some leftover fabric, why not make an easy little owl as a gift for Respect for the Aged Day? If you prepare a pattern, you can even make them in batches—highly recommended! Just cut the fabric according to the pattern, sew it together, stuff it with filling, stitch the bottom closed, and finally attach the eyes—done! The expression changes depending on how you sew and stuff it, so each owl turns out one-of-a-kind, which is part of the charm.

You can also switch up the fabric patterns and colors or turn them into brooches—so cute.

The steps are simple enough for kids, too, so it would make a lovely gift for Grandma and Grandpa.

Attach the handle to the edge at the end, and it’s complete.

They’re versatile—you can place them in a closet or by your pillow to enjoy the fragrance, or carry them in a bag.
