Once you cut your favorite flowers into small pieces, gently pack them into the pen’s transparent barrel.

Japanese-style card made with 100-yen shop materials
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!
flower box
A flower box that’s perfect as a gift for someone special.
Choose the flowers your loved one likes and pack them into the box.
For this project, we’ll use items you can get entirely at a 100-yen shop, such as the box and flowers.
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.
Herbarium with 100-yen shop materials
A gift for people who love flowers! Here are herbarium ideas you can make using materials from 100-yen shops.

Many people feel it’s a shame that beautiful fresh flowers don’t last and eventually wilt.
This time, let’s make a herbarium gift so the recipient can enjoy lovely flowers for a long time.
A herbarium is an item made by placing preserved or dried flowers in a glass container and immersing them in oil.
It lets you enjoy flowers as interior decor, so give it a try!
Simple bookmark
This is a bookmark craft you can gift to elderly people who enjoy reading.
Prepare chirimen (crepe) fabric, apply double-sided tape to the back, and fold it in half.
Thread a cord through with a needle.
It’s lovely to add a charm to the cord, such as a small foam ball for crafts covered with chirimen, or a piece made with chirimen handiwork.
It’s easy to make, so it’s perfect as a gift.
Handmade items carry a personal touch, and the recipient may find reading even more enjoyable.
Chirimen fabric is sometimes available at 100-yen shops, making preparation simple.
