Just by wearing a petticoat, your skirt fluffs out into a cute silhouette, right? Here’s an idea for an easy petticoat you can make with nonwoven fabric.
First, fold a large piece of nonwoven fabric in half, sew along the fold, and thread elastic through it.
That alone should give you a skirt shape.
Next, sew another sheet of nonwoven fabric between the folded layers, gathering it as you go.
Once you’ve added volume just at the hem, it’s done! Wear it under your favorite costume and enjoy a princess line.
strawberry cosplay

When it comes to Christmas-colored cosplay, strawberries are a classic choice, aren’t they? So let me show you how to make a strawberry costume using felt.
First, using a dress you usually wear as a guide, cut out two dress-shaped pieces from felt.
Sew them together at the shoulders and sides, then attach a collar shaped like leaves.
If you cut the tips of the leaves into little serrations, it will look even more realistic, so give it a try.
Finally, add the seed pattern to the dress and you’re done.
Instructions for making a hat and a small shoulder bag are also included, so feel free to make those as well.
Bear Santa Hair Tie

Here’s an idea for giving a Christmas makeover to a doll hair tie sold at 100-yen shops.
Roll a red ribbon into a cone to make a triangular hat, and attach a white pom-pom to the top.
For the white trim around the hat’s opening, attach pom-poms that you’ve cut in half.
Once the Santa hat is finished, place it on the doll and glue it in place.
It’s a very simple makeover, so find a hair tie with a doll you like and give it a try.
It seems like a headband could work as a substitute, too.
Guri and Gura

It’s like something straight out of a picture book! How about trying your hand at making costumes from the beloved children’s classic “Guri and Gura”? You can use felt fabric for the materials, which you can even find at 100-yen shops.
You’ll be making two items: overall-style outfits and the distinctive pointy hats with ears.
Basically, you just cut out the pieces and sew them together, so even beginners at sewing are welcome.
Choose the color of felt based on whether you want to be Guri or Gura—Guri is blue and Gura is red.
Knit Santa Hat with an Original Knitting Machine

This is a knit hat made using a DIY loom created from partition boards.
Want to handcraft a Christmas-colored hat in red and white yarn that will be perfect for winter using items from a 100-yen shop? Bend the partition boards by skipping one slot at a time, then cut along the bent sections and connect two boards with masking tape.
Apply masking tape to the cut edges, align both ends to form a circle, and leave a yarn tail while making a loop.
Hook the yarn twice from the far side onto the peg to the left, then repeat the process of pulling the lower yarn toward the inside of the circle.
After threading the yarn tail from bottom to top and removing all loops from the hooks, pull the excess yarn to tighten and secure the inner stitches to finish.

Christmas hat

Let’s make a one-of-a-kind hat inspired by a Christmas tree! It’s easy to create with construction paper and origami, so it’s great for crafting with kids.
First, draw an arc with a ballpoint pen on green construction paper, crease along the line, and roll it up to form a pointy hat.
Use gold origami to make the star for the tree, and create ornaments with a Christmas theme.
Thread yarn through cut pieces of straw, tie it, and attach it to the inside of the hat to finish.
Christmas cake hat

A Christmas cake hat that’s exciting to make as well as wear.
With this, your Christmas party is sure to be even more fun.
First, prepare a rectangular sheet of construction paper and treat it like a cake, decorating it as you go.
Try attaching fruit shapes made from paper, for example.
Then roll the paper into a cylinder to turn it into a hat.
You can also customize it as you like by adding three-dimensional decorations, such as ones modeled after Santa Claus.
