It’s a lovely, high-quality photo frame that you’d never guess was made entirely from 100-yen shop supplies.

Cut a card case to the size of the frame, and trace the inner edge of the frame onto the card case.

Cut off just the blossom parts of artificial flowers and arrange them inside the line on the card case.

For larger flowers, it’s a good idea to remove the calyx as well.

Once you’ve balanced the colors and sizes and glued everything down, secure it to the frame.

Finish by attaching a printed template to the glass panel.

You can use the template, or make it special with your own message and photo.

Original pen stand

All materials from Seria 👏 [Still in time‼️ Super easy original pen holder] #handmadegift #crafts #FathersDay @maa_chiiku_asobi

An original double-layered pen stand that lets you insert photos or illustrations inside makes a great gift for seniors.

You can buy one at a 100-yen shop, so give it a try.

Remove the lid, place a sheet of paper with a message or illustration inside, then close the lid.

It also looks lovely if you cut out and insert memorable photos or decorate it with stickers.

When giving it as a gift, filling it with sweets or stick-type tea or coffee is likely to be well received.

A lovely skeleton bouquet with a beautiful translucent look.

It doesn’t take up much space, is easy to display, and blends nicely with your interior—those are the key selling points.

Place your photo on a laminating film and rub over it with a ruler from the top.

Soak it in lukewarm water for about 5 minutes, rub off the photo portion, and once it’s dry, apply the film.

Cut it into your preferred shapes and stick them onto a photo frame.

After adding transparent flower stickers, use a pen to draw stems and write a message.

Decorate with ribbons and pearls to complete a one-of-a-kind bouquet! This photoframe looks so refined you wouldn’t believe it’s handmade—perfect as a gift, don’t you think?

Japanese-style card made with 100-yen shop materials

How to make a lovely message card using stick-on fabric from the 100-yen shop

Let’s try making a lovely handmade card using materials you can buy at a 100-yen shop.

Prepare stick-on chirimen fabric in your favorite patterns, stickers, and masking tape.

For the message card holder, use gold construction paper.

Cut it to the shape of the message card, then apply the fabric tape.

Trim any excess with scissors.

Using white construction paper, make a message card that’s slightly smaller than the holder.

It’ll look cute if you punch out the four corners with a floral punch.

Use the punched-out flowers to decorate the card holder.

Cards with traditional Japanese patterns for a sophisticated feel are wonderful, but you can also go for a pop or cute vibe—customize it to your taste and have fun!

It’s also recommended to add your own touches by decorating the box with washi tape, which will give it a more polished look.

The process is simply filling the box with flowers, so even older adults can do it smoothly.

The real test of skill is arranging them in a way that looks beautiful.
