Here’s an idea for a neck warmer.

A neck warmer is a cold-weather item that covers and warms your neck, right? Not only in the winter when you really feel the cold, but also whenever there’s a chill in the air, warming your neck quickly can help prevent body heat from escaping, so some people use one regularly.

This time, let’s try making one by hand using yarn.

All you need is chunky yarn and an 8 mm crochet hook.

Once you learn a few tips, you can finish it with simple steps, so take this chance to give it a try.

Brighten up your daily tea time! Here are some easy coaster ideas.

Coasters are flat items placed under glasses or cups.

They protect your table from condensation and stains that appear when a cold drink sits for a while, and they also serve as decorative accents to elevate your table’s look.

This time, let’s handcraft coasters using materials from a 100-yen shop.

You’ll need mesh used for plant pots, a yarn needle, and yarn in your favorite colors.

With so much freedom in design and color, it’s exciting, isn’t it?

Flower memo stand made with origami

[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.

Medicine, coin purse

Easy! A single 100-yen shop cut cloth works wonders—people will love it as a gift! 😆

A small pouch that can hold medicine or coins is highly practical and makes a useful gift.

Fuse interfacing to the fabric and create the handle and body pieces.

Securely sew the handle to a ring placed in the center with a sewing machine, then fold the corners to add dimension.

Finish by attaching a button.

Although you’ll use a sewing machine, it’s mostly straight stitching, so it’s approachable even for beginners.

Choosing fabric patterns to match the season or personal taste adds an extra touch of originality.

For older adults, it’s not only convenient for keeping essentials close at hand; the thoughtfulness of making something just for them is an added delight.

It’s a gift that combines practicality and warmth, reminding the recipient of the giver each time it’s used.
