Would you like to try making a flower kaleidoscope with beautiful, intricate movements? Despite its complexity, it’s actually very easy to make.

The main materials are thin curling ribbon, bamboo skewers, straws, and round stickers—all available at 100-yen shops.

Stick ribbons cut to equal lengths onto the round stickers, thread them onto a bamboo skewer, secure the tip with a bead or similar, then slide a straw over it—and you’re done.

By moving the straw up and down or side to side, you’ll get a variety of expressions.

Using multicolored ribbons makes it especially pretty when you spin it.

As spring approaches, you can spot mimosa blooming here and there.

It’s become very popular in recent years, and those tiny, round yellow blossoms are just adorable.

How about making a cute wreath inspired by mimosa using only materials from a 100-yen shop? It’s super easy: thread small yellow pom-poms onto green pipe cleaners, then insert them into a wreath base of your preferred size.

You can also use a glue gun to add pearls or other beads for a more festive look.

Since you’re using pipe cleaners, they slide easily into the wreath base, and finishing the ends is simple—so you’ll have it done in no time!

hanging toy

[Handmade] How to Make a Hanging Toy with a Plastic Wrap Core | Upcycle

Let me introduce a hanging toy that’s fun to watch as it sways.

Before you begin, prepare several empty plastic wrap (cling film) cores.

Then combine pieces by slicing the cores into rings or cutting them into various shapes.

Tie them together with string so that each part can move when the toy is hung.

You can also customize it by hanging a bouncy ball or attaching a bell to the frame made from the wrap cores to make a toy for parakeets.

Feel free to let your ideas grow and enjoy creating it.

Paper-cup hat

[100-Yen Store DIY] A Hat Made from Paper Cups
Paper-cup hat

How about trying to make a tiny hat using a paper cup? Cut off the rim (the drinking edge) of the cup, then make thin, evenly spaced slits.

Crease each strip diagonally about halfway down, and from there, start folding and weaving them so they overlap with the neighboring strips.

It might seem a bit tricky at first, but once you get used to it, you’ll be fine—and it becomes fun as you go.

Tuck in the ends to finish the weave, then decorate with ribbon or felt.

If you use a craft-style paper cup, you can make a straw hat.
