Handmade coaster

@narumama_asobi

Too cute using only 100-yen shop items 😍 The kids were super focused and did it so well 🫶🏻 It’d make a great gift too ✨#AtHomePlay#StayHomeTimeRespect for the Aged DayHandmade CoasterSeriaDaiso

♬ EGAO – wacci

Perfect for mealtimes and snack breaks! How about a handmade coaster? You can make it with stone paper clay and mosaic tiles from the 100-yen shop, so it’s easy even for little kids.

Once you spread the clay over the coaster, start arranging the tiles.

Be sure to press the tiles in and level them so the glass you place on top won’t tip over.

The key is simply to make it flat, which is why it’s so easy and casual to create—one of the best parts! Picture the recipient’s smiling face and enjoy crafting with your child!

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.

Handprint and footprint keychain

Handmade keychain as a Respect-for-the-Aged Day gift #100YenStore #RespectForTheAgedDay #Handprint

Keychains featuring tiny handprints and footprints are a soothing, highly recommended gift for seniors.

They’re a lovely way to enjoy watching your grandchildren or great-grandchildren grow.

Gather shrink plastic, acrylic paint, and a keychain, and let’s get started! Paint the soles or palms and press them onto the shrink plastic to capture the print.

The key is to punch a hole before heating.

Place it on parchment paper and bake in a toaster oven; while it’s still hot, press it flat from above—and it’s done.

A keychain that brings a smile every time it reminds them of their grandchild—why not give this heartfelt gift to someone special?
