Felt bookmark

If you enjoy reading, why not try making a felt bookmark? All you need to do is cut the felt according to a template to make the parts and then attach them with glue, so it’s an idea even those who aren’t confident with sewing can try.

First, think about what motif you’d like to use.

Book, mug, or leaf shapes are all cute.

The ribbon serves as the bookmark, and you’ll attach motifs to both ends, so please prepare two felt motifs.

You can also buy felt at 100-yen shops.

Macramé hoop earrings

Would you like to try making chic-looking macramé hoop earrings? First, shape a thick wire into a circle.

It’s hard to do by hand, so use tools.

Once the shape is set, use the wire as a base and start knotting macramé yarn.

When the wire is fully covered, attach earring findings to finish.

A single hoop is stylish, but a double hoop looks wonderful too.

In that case, how about making the macramé yarn bi-colored? Once you learn the knotting technique, you can adapt this idea to create earrings in various shapes.

Add food coloring, pour into a flat container, and chill in the refrigerator for 1–2 hours.

Then just cut it into your favorite shapes and you’re done! It looks adorable and might make handwashing more fun.

Just be careful to prevent small children from accidentally swallowing it.

[Eco] Remaking a tissue case

Tissue case eco-friendly usage ✨
[Eco] Remaking a tissue case

Have you ever thought that a single tissue is bigger than you need? Here are two methods to try in those situations.

First, open the tissue box from the side, cut the stack in half, and put it back into the box.

Then open just the sides of the tissue opening so you can pull from the left and right—this lets you use the tissues at double efficiency.

Also, when the box is empty, cut the left and right ends of the box to the size of pocket tissues and combine the two pieces to make a dedicated pocket-tissue box.

Give it a try.

Leather magnetic bookmark

Introducing a smart leather magnetic bookmark with a sophisticated, grown-up vibe.

While imagining how it will clip onto a book page, attach two magnets to the leather.

Glue the leather together so that the magnets are sandwiched inside.

Then stitch the leather with thread.

Once the glue has dried, fold it in half, sand the edges all around, and you’re done.

It grips firmly, so you won’t have to worry about the bookmark slipping out.
