cat ear headband

[Halloween Craft] Using Empty Boxes! Cat Ear Headband (Construction Paper & Origami) [Handmade Accessories, Cute Crafts] You can make it with cardstock too! How to Make Cat Ears

Here’s a cat-ear headband you can make using a tissue box! First, cut out the side panel of the tissue box.

Then cut that piece in half lengthwise.

It won’t be long enough as is, so cut out additional strips from the remaining parts of the box in the same way and connect them to extend the length.

This will be the base of the headband.

Glue two strips together, form them into a circle, and let them dry for a full day while keeping the shape.

Using clothespins or similar clips helps hold it in place.

Once dry, cover it with black construction paper, then attach cat ears made from the same paper, and you’re done! Drying for a day helps it keep its shape so it can be worn on your head, so don’t skip this step.

Ghibli food and toys

Studio Ghibli’s works are captivating not only for their profound storytelling but also for their meticulous visual expression—especially the way food is depicted so enticingly.

This piece is about recreating the look of the foods that appear in Ghibli films and making beautiful mascots using simple materials.

You’ll experiment with details, like kneading adhesive into shape and using paint to create gradients for a realistic finish.

Since achieving a food-like appearance hinges on material choices, it’s crucial to be particular from the very stage of selecting your materials.

plastic shrink film keychain

[100-Yen DIY] Craft: How to Make a No-Bake Shrink-Plastic Keychain — I tried making it with cute stickers! Easy handmade with 100-yen materials, perfect for time at home♪

Shrinky-dink keychains are popular handmade crafts that both kids and adults can enjoy.

But sometimes they get over-baked, or warp and won’t lie flat—common mishaps.

Here’s an idea for making a keychain with plastic sheets without baking.

Stick your favorite stickers onto the plastic sheet, then apply self-adhesive laminating film.

Punch a hole at the top with a hole punch, trim the corners, and you’re done! Add a strap part or a ball chain.

It’s also a great idea to make one featuring a friend’s favorite character and give it as a gift.

Marble run

Handmade marble run

This is a fun craft where a marble spirals around and drops down along the core of a plastic wrap roll.

All you do is stick skewers into the roll while keeping step-like levels in mind—simple, but the skewers’ angles and spacing are key.

If you place the skewers poorly, the marble won’t make it to the bottom, so it’s best to experiment as you go.

The light, pleasant sound as it rolls is part of the fun, too, so aim for a satisfying sound by fine-tuning the number of skewers and the angles of the steps.

Remaking a 100-yen shop clock

The part you can see from the back of a table clock or wall clock—the section with the battery compartment and the knob for setting the time—is called the movement.

You could say it’s the heart of the clock.

In fact, clock movements are sold on their own at 100-yen shops and home improvement stores, and you can use them to make your own original clock! If you’re good at woodworking, try starting from scratch by buying a wooden board and cutting a groove to fit the movement.

If that’s not your strong suit, there are also assembly kits with pre-cut grooves available, so you can use those instead.
