A small bag made from scrap materials

[Mother’s Day / Father’s Day] Upcycle scrap materials × dollar-store items for a cute mini gift! #shorts

Let’s make use of milk cartons! Here are some ideas for small bags made from scrap materials.

Many people probably throw milk cartons away after using them, right? This time, why not try making a bag using that kind of waste material? You’ll need scissors, tape, fabric scraps, and double-sided fabric tape, among other things.

The look changes depending on the fabric’s design and texture, which is really fun.

The time you spend making it to suit the recipient’s taste could become a memory in itself.

Shaker bookmarks that are fun to tuck into a book make reading time even more enjoyable.

They’re great for yourself, and would surely delight a grandchild as a gift.

Decorate a piece of cardstock in your preferred size with stickers.

Place the cardstock into an OPP (cellophane) bag that’s larger than the cardstock, then cut it down leaving a margin.

Fold the excess flap over and neatly hide it with washi tape; add sequins inside, and you’ve got a shakety-shake bookmark that’s a joy to use.

If you prepare a selection so people can freely choose which stickers and which sequins to combine, they’ll have even more fun!

Woven mats and vase doilies made from cardboard

Cardboard loom mat and vase mat ② Simple and easy ❤︎ DIY/weaving mat/cardboard/tutorial ❤︎ #629

It’s fun to make knitted items with a handmade loom, isn’t it? Your child will probably enjoy creating projects with excitement, too.

You can make a cardboard loom by cutting slits in two edges of a piece of cardboard and attaching chopsticks.

Thread twine through the slits, and use two colored markers to dye the yarn alternately.

Attach the yarn to a toothpick and start weaving, passing it over and under the twine of the same color—that’s the trick.

It also looks lovely to change the yarn colors for a gradient effect.

Try making it with your favorite colors of yarn.

Tie off the twine at the edges and you’ll have a finished mat or a vase coaster.

Butterfly and flower decorations woven with a cardboard Y-shaped knitting spool

Cardboard Y-shaped lucet, yarn butterfly and flower decorations, easy crafts, educational toy ❤︎ DIY/card board/knitting fork/Lucet ❤︎ #630

Lillian, which was popular in the Showa era, has made a comeback during the self-isolation of the COVID period.

Some of you may remember the cylindrical knitting tool, but there’s also a wooden Y-shaped Lillian knitting tool.

The cylindrical one uses a knitting needle, while the wooden one is worked with your fingers.

Even small children can use their hands to make projects.

You can even make a Y-shaped Lillian tool out of cardboard, so why not give it a try? By wrapping yarn around the Y-shaped part, you can create simple decorations like butterflies and flowers.

With their rustic look, these handmade pieces bring a warm, handcrafted feel when displayed indoors.

A recommendation for those who keep diaries or love drawing! Here’s an idea for a pen holder that can store a lot.

Do you keep a daily journal or enjoy sketching as a hobby? This practical item is perfect for you.

Let’s make a pen holder out of drinking straws that can hold various types of pens.

You’ll need a paper cup, scissors, straws in your favorite colors, a hot glue gun, cardboard, and some decorative materials.

It looks like it’ll be useful not only for pens but also for storing small items!

I want to keep my precious items safely stored! Here’s an idea for a small container that pops open.

It’s perfect for anyone who wants a lidded trinket box or wants to try a handmade craft using straws.

You’ll need straws in your favorite colors, scissors, a glue gun or adhesive, and wire.

In the video, it’s finished in rainbow colors, but choosing monochrome or natural tones might help it blend into your interior decor.

The time you spend planning color combinations could also be a nice bit of stimulation for your brain.

Let’s have fun expressing an original world! Here are ideas for a basket made from a milk carton and straws.

These are straw basket ideas perfect for summer.

In the video, blue and white straws are attached to a milk carton to create a cool, refreshing look.

It’s also unique how the straws are cut to make fish swimming in the sea and seaweed.

Incorporating detailed work like this can help with fine motor skills, too.

It would be fun to come up with autumn, winter, and spring versions to match the seasons!
