[For Seniors] Let’s Start a Fun Craft Activity

Flower keychain

I tried making a flower keychain with 100-yen shop materials 🌼 #shorts

Let’s weave the yarn threaded through the keychain part and shape it into a flower.

Using not only yarn but also thicker materials like colored cords is recommended, as they offer different design possibilities and make your hands easier to see while working.

It’s a simple process: layer yarn of a different color over the yarn threaded through the part’s hole and braid it while paying attention to the order.

Be particular about your choices of colors and materials and how you layer them, and create your own unique design.

The way you tighten the layered yarn will also change the overall look, so it could be fun to try various patterns.

Flower message stand

[Super Easy] Anyone Can Make Felt Roses * #dayservice #daycare #outpatientrehab #eldercare #seniors #crafts

Let me introduce a flower message stand made with felt, cork, and wire.

Prepare felt in the colors you like for the flowers and leaves.

For the flower, cut a strip of felt and make three slits along it; thread the felt through the slits to create twists.

After threading through all three slits, apply glue and roll it up from one end.

For the leaves, cut the felt into leaf shapes.

Bend the wire into a circle, extend one end downward, and stick it into a cork.

Use two more corks and attach them so the wire stands firmly.

Once you decorate the cork area with the leaves and flower, it’s complete.

With a message stand like this, you’ll find yourself wanting to tuck little notes into it.

A Japanese-style small container for sweets or accessories

[DIY] A Small Organizer Made from a Milk Carton!

Some of you might want a Japanese-style accessory box that matches your room’s atmosphere.

For this project, you cut off the bottom of a milk carton, trim it into a hexagon, and finish it by attaching washi-pattern origami paper.

At the same time, you use the remaining part of the milk carton to make a lid and cover it with origami paper as well.

Both the shape and the look let you enjoy a distinctly Japanese feel.

Its shape and size also make it perfect for storing sweets or small items.

Another appealing point is that you can easily add originality by changing the pattern of the origami you use.

Cute! A stick-and-make basket

DIY Basket from Paper Cup / Cute Mini Basket Made from a Paper Cup #Very Easy #MiniBasket #PaperCup Craft

When you hear the word “basket,” some seniors may recall the picnics of their youth, packing lunches into woven baskets and heading out.

With that memory in mind, let’s make a charming mini basket using a paper cup.

You’ll need a paper cup, colored paper, a flower-shaped paper punch, and beads.

Cut off about 1 cm from the top of the paper cup.

Use this strip to create the handle.

Punch flower shapes from the colored paper.

Glue a bead to the center of each flower, then attach the flowers to the paper cup, and you’re done.

The handle is optional.

It would also be fun to gather a variety of colored papers and make them together with a group.

[How to Make Paper Quilling] A cute flower clip / Handmade crafts / DIY paper quilling tutorial. How to make a cute clip.

These are cute clips you can make with paper quilling.

They’re practical, so they make great casual gifts! The key is to connect two thin, different-colored strips of paper beforehand.

Then roll them tightly with a skewer or toothpick and shape them into a teardrop.

Make five identical pieces to form petals.

Next, roll the paper the same way and shape it into an S to create leaves.

Finally, decorate a wooden clip (the kind you can buy at a dollar store) with lace stickers, petals, and leaves in that order—and you’re done! Have fun by changing up the color combinations and embellishments.

Cute nameplate

Cute! Nameplate: An easy way to make one using 100-yen store items and glue♪

Here’s a cute nameplate idea using felt, buttons, and lace.

Use a plastic nameplate as the base, and first cut felt in your favorite color to match its size.

Cut out the center, leaving about a 1 cm border, then attach it to the nameplate.

Add decorations like buttons, lace tape, or ribbons on top, and it’s done.

By decorating each one as you like, you can create a unique, personalized nameplate.

Cute felt name tag

Must-see for childcare students! How to make a name tag you can use in your practicum 📛

Let’s try making a cute name tag with felt! Felt is easy to find at 100-yen shops, comes in all sorts of colors, and is sold in various sizes.

If you combine your favorite characters or animals to create a name plate, it will really stand out—and best of all, you’ll grow attached to it.

If using a needle and thread feels difficult, you can simply cut the felt with scissors and glue it onto fabric with fabric adhesive.

You can write your name on the felt with a permanent marker, or you can even make the letters of your name out of felt as well.
