“You really don’t need shrink plastic or resin?” Make an acrylic keychain in 10 minutes with 100-yen shop materials! I cut all the corners and it still turned out super easy ♪ How to make a fake acrylic keychain

Acrylic keychains are appealing items thanks to their sturdy material, letting you show off the cute designs without worrying much about them breaking when you hang them on a bag.

With that acrylic keychain image in mind, how about making a durable keychain using simple materials? The main component is a sticker of the character you want to feature on the keychain; you cut it out and wrap it with tape to give it an acrylic-like look.

To make it more colorful and more durable, it’s also important to consider which tapes you use and how much you layer them.

Cake-shaped accessory case

Here’s an idea for a cake-themed trinket holder made with paper cups.

First, take one paper cup and cut straight from the rim down to the base, then cut out the base as well.

Use this as the template base, and decorate it by attaching felt or construction paper to make it look like a cake.

Once you’ve finished decorating the base, attach it to another paper cup, and you’re done.

It’s easy and cute, and you can customize the decoration however you like—highly recommended! With a bit more effort, you can even add a lid to the trinket holder, so give that a try if you have the time.

You can make it without sewing! A small teddy bear

You can make it without sewing! Let’s create a small teddy bear.

Let’s make a fluffy teddy bear with yarn! Since this method doesn’t require any sewing, kids can give it a try too.

Start by making the parts the same way you would make pom-poms.

Wrap yarn around your hand several times, and when it reaches the desired size, tie the center with another piece of yarn.

Cut through the looped sections, then trim with scissors to make them round.

For rounded areas like the face and ears, adjust by combining two pom-poms if needed.

Once the parts are ready, attach them with a hot glue gun.

Finally, neaten the overall shape and add the facial features to finish!

Apollo chocolate

I tried making Apollo chocolates with a glue gun!

Let’s try recreating the long-loved classic candy “Apollo Chocolate” using a hot glue gun.

Its small, cute appearance makes it easy to incorporate into decorations.

First, press a real Apollo Chocolate into silicone rubber to make a mold.

Then simply pour melted hot glue sticks into the mold in sequence and let them harden to finish.

If you carefully choose the stick colors and how you layer them, the result might look indistinguishable from the real thing.

Refreshing! Square Bag

Here’s an idea for making a bag using bag hardware from a 100-yen shop, plant pot mesh, and yarn in your favorite color and material.

First, cut the plant pot mesh to match the size of the bag hardware, then crochet or stitch the yarn onto the mesh.

Once you’ve finished attaching the yarn, sew the mesh and the bag hardware together.

Finally, add the handles and your favorite decorations to complete the bag.
