[For Seniors] Simple and Fun: Craft Ideas You Can Make with Everyday Items

Weaving a coaster with a paper plate

[MY CLIP | Let's Create the Seasons] Take a breather. Yarn Coasters

Let’s make round yarn coasters that take advantage of a paper plate’s circular shape.

Cut slits around the rim of the paper plate.

The key is to make sure the number of slits is odd.

Thread yarn from the back of the plate through a slit, then across to the slit on the opposite side.

Continue threading the yarn through all the slits, and then start weaving from the center of the plate.

With this method, you can easily make a circular coaster.

Switching yarn colors partway through will create a cute design.

Both paper plates and yarn are sold at 100-yen shops, so it’s easy to gather the materials.

It also sounds fun to make matching coasters together with your child.

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

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.

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!

In recent years, stores have offered a wide variety of straw colors, making color selection part of the fun with these woven basket projects! The finished result looks so good you might not believe it’s made from straws—and you may even want to give it as a gift.

You’ll need supplies like two different colors of straws, tape, scissors, and so on.

You can also customize the basket size by changing the color combinations and the length of the straws!
