If you encounter any stiff sections while bending the wire, try using pliers.

If you enjoy crafts, you’ll likely have fun making this.

Older adults might even find themselves smiling warmly at the adorable cat creations.

small accessory case

Small accessory holder made from Yakult containers

Let’s make a small container using empty bottles like Yakult bottles that you can find in almost any household.

Since it’s a small project, it’s great for hand rehabilitation too.

First, remove the outer label from the bottle and cut off the narrowed top portion with scissors.

After cutting, apply vertical strips of double-sided tape all around the bottle.

Wrap yarn over the tape.

By choosing your favorite colors and style, you’ll create a small container full of personality.

Stick lace or decorative parts on top to finish.

It can also be used as a bud vase.

♬ suara asli – Lista Tsurayya – Lista Tsurayya ✨

Here’s an idea for making a lamp that uses Yakult containers as a support column.

First, prepare two containers and glue them together at the drinking openings.

Next, cut out two 10 cm diameter cardboard circles, glue them together, and attach the previously joined containers at the center.

This will form the base and the column of the lamp.

Then, prepare a paper bowl, cut out the bottom, and decorate it with a decorative sheet.

After that, cut some disposable chopsticks and glue them in a cross shape across the rim of the paper bowl.

Place this on top of the column and glue it in place to finish.

If you put an LED inside, it can be used as a stylish lamp.

Since there are many steps involving cutting and gluing various materials, it’s a great idea for when you want to take your time and enjoy a craft project.

A hanging ornament of yo-yo quilt made from fabric scraps

Easy Handmade: Simple Hanging Ornament - Yo-Yo Quilt Made from Square Fabric

Let’s make a hanging decoration with a calm, soothing feel using fabric with traditional Japanese patterns.

You can make this with fabric scraps, so prepare plenty of your favorite prints.

After making a paper pattern and cutting the fabric, fold it in half with the right sides together and sew the edges.

Once you have a loop, lightly fold in each end to crease them.

Fold it in half and sew all the way around with large stitches, then pull the thread to form a round shape.

Gently shape it, then thread a cord through along with small fabric balls stuffed with cotton.

Make five of these sets to complete a vibrant yo-yo quilt hanging decoration.
