Heart-shaped paper bouquet
Let’s make a paper bouquet that anyone would be happy to receive.
This bouquet is heart-shaped, so it’s especially recommended as a gift for someone who loves cute things.
First, cut out a heart-shaped base and a handle from cardboard.
Next, stack about three sheets of tissue paper, accordion-fold them, round off both ends, and secure the center with wire.
From there, open the layers of paper one by one, alternating sides, to create the flower.
Arrange the flowers to cover the base and secure them with wire, then add color using eyeshadow or blush.
Finally, attach the handle and wrap it up, and you’re done!

Keychains are popular gifts because you can use them every day and swap them out to match your mood! So why not try making a keychain with a mini bottle? Just stuff the bottle with cotton, add sequins or holograms, then pour in liquid glue—anyone can enjoy making it.
If you color the glue, it becomes a lovely gift that looks like it captures a fantastical world! Customize it to your liking as you create.
For the keychain hardware, attach it by fixing a key ring to the lid.
Shaky Memory Photo Frame
@non_mama6 Perfect for graduation season too ✨ [Materials] • Acrylic frame stand, heart… Seria JAN code: 4978929915971 • Photo frame … Seria • Hard-type card case A5 … Seria • OHP film … Seria • Scissors • Tape glue • Clear tape The sheer look and the way it shakes around is just too cute 🥹💕 By intentionally not layering the acrylic frames and using the two pieces separately, you can make it more cost-effective 😆❣️ I’m pretty tight with my budget, so keeping costs down in areas like this is important 👍 Try making it with your favorite memories and photos ✨ 100-yen store remake, 100-yen store DIY, 100-yen store arrangement, acrylic block#OshiActivityGoods

Let’s make a DIY “shaka-shaka” memory photo frame using a heart-shaped acrylic frame stand! First, print your selected memorable photos onto OHP film.
Then, cut them to match the heart shape of the frame stand and attach them to the back.
Place it into the photo frame and tape a hard-type card case over the top—that’s it! Because OHP film allows you to print photos semi-transparently, the finished piece has a striking clarity that makes you want to hold it up to the light.
scrunchie
A scrunchie is not only cute as a hair accessory but also on your wrist, and it’s an easy handmade gift.
You only need two things: a 10 cm × 50 cm piece of fabric and a hair elastic.
First, with right sides together, fold the fabric in half so the 10 cm edges align.
Sew along the overlapped edge in a straight line to make a tube, then press the seam open with an iron.
Lay the fabric with the seam centered, fold the top layer into thirds, and then fold the bottom layer in half to wrap around that section.
From there, while pulling out the folded fabric as you go, leave an opening for turning and sew the folded edges together.
Once sewn, turn the fabric right-side out through the opening, thread the elastic through, then close the opening to finish.
tote bag
Perfect for sewing beginners! This tote bag is made simply by sewing straight lines with a sewing machine.
Prepare two pieces each of outer fabric and lining fabric in the same size, plus two pieces for the handles.
Fold the handle pieces to your preferred width while pressing with an iron, then sew them.
Make two sets by sandwiching the handles between the outer and lining fabrics and sewing them together.
Open these two sets and place them right sides together.
Leave an opening for turning, sew all the way around, then sew diagonally across the corners to create boxed corners.
Trim off the excess corners outside the seam as they’re not needed.
Turn the bag right side out through the opening, sew the opening closed, and you’re done!
