Suede-like 3D mask

Easy and highly recommended! I tried making DAISO’s DIY kit “Suede-Style 3D Mask,” and it turned out great!

There are many occasions to wear a mask, such as preventing infections or when you have a cough.

So why not try making your own mask using a mask kit? While there are gauze-style mask kits, here we’ll introduce a chic suede-style mask kit.

The kit includes suede fabric, elastic, and a pattern.

Besides the included suede fabric, you can also use suede in other colors.

You can make two types of masks.

For one, trace the pattern onto the fabric and cut it out with scissors.

Sew the fabric with a sewing machine to finish.

For the other, attach elastic to the ear sections of the mask to make it.

A mask you make yourself is likely to bring a happy feeling when worn, especially for older adults.

towel rabbit

How to make a towel rabbit

The towel bunny has a fluffy feel, just like a stuffed animal.

Its design is so clever that it might look difficult, but it’s actually easy to make by hand.

All you need are items you can find at a 100-yen shop, like a towel, rubber bands, tape, and colored paper.

The key to a good finish is shaping the bunny’s form with the towel.

Since you use your fingers during this step, it can also help with rehabilitation for older adults.

Once you’ve created the shape, all that’s left is to decorate it cutely.

Have fun making it together!

Dandelion wall decoration

How to Make Paper Dandelion Wall Hanging (Spring Wall Decoration) – How to Make Paper Dandelion Wall Decor

Introducing a remarkably realistic dandelion wall decoration that could be mistaken for the real thing at first glance.

You’ll need yellow, green, and white construction paper, plus wooden coffee stirrers.

First, cut out eight leaf shapes from the green paper.

Then cut another strip of green paper lengthwise, crease along the top edge, and make fine slits below the crease to create the flower stem.

For the flower, cut a long strip of yellow paper, fold it in half, and cut fine slits along the edge without leaving gaps.

Attach the stem to the flower strip, then roll it up from the flower side.

Once glued, gently fluff and open up the stem and flower by hand.

You’ll have a beautiful blossom.

Glue wooden stirrers together in a grid—three vertically and three horizontally—then attach the leaves and flowers to finish.

You can also make seed heads by using white paper for the flowers.

The work involves fine details, but the sense of accomplishment when you finish is exceptional.

Give it a try!

Tulip wreath

[Origami] How to Make a Tulip Wreath

Tulips are one of the flowers that color the spring season, and their rich variety of hues conveys the excitement of spring.

This is a wreath that captures that springtime joy by arranging colorful tulips on a circular base.

It’s recommended to make the wreath base in green to evoke leaves; create triangular pieces and insert adjacent pieces into the gaps to form a circle.

Then just add tulips and other decorations to the base to finish.

To make the tulips really stand out, it’s important to use folds to give them a three-dimensional look.
