Matryoshka
The craft of painting your own face and those of your family onto a matryoshka doll—where new companions appear one after another inside a small doll—overflows with the joy and warmth of imagination.
Start by applying a base color with acrylic paint to the surface of the wooden nesting dolls.
Once it’s dry, carefully paint expressive characters such as your self-portrait, family, or friends.
After the paint dries, add a coat of varnish to give it a sheen and significantly elevate the finish.
Each time you open it, a new face appears, making it a delight for viewers.
It also makes a perfect gift, and the key is to create it while thinking of someone special.
It’s a lovely art project that lets you feel the connection between craftsmanship and the heart.
Impossible object
An impossible object is a kind of optical illusion exemplified by the Penrose stairs—an object that appears to contradict geometric laws.
Its hallmark is that it may not look impossible at first glance, but from a particular angle it does.
Start by imitating methods for making impossible objects that are shared online.
If you have basic skills in cutting and gluing wood, you can make one—so it’s a great hobby to pick up.
Once you experience the strange sensation of looking at an impossible object, you’re sure to be captivated by its charm!
Sneaker Deco
Sneaker decoration—customizing existing sneakers with embellishments—spread after limited-edition models from popular brands featured decorated designs, inspiring sneaker fans overseas to start making their own.
The idea is to take sporty sneakers and adorn them in a girly way with lace and rhinestones.
It’s a DIY idea we highly recommend for fashion lovers.
The real appeal is that you can decorate them however you like, so browse various images and finish a pair that’s uniquely yours to match your favorite outfits.
Hawaiian quilt
Hawaiian quilts are popular for their bold colors and patterns.
Losing yourself in the process of carefully stitching each stitch can help you forget the hassles of everyday life.
Creating a Hawaiian quilt—known for designs inspired by Hawaii’s nature and culture—from a completely blank start is extremely challenging, even for advanced crafters! If it’s your first try, why not start with a kit that includes all the necessary materials and templates? Once you get the hang of it, try tackling larger projects or more intricate patterns.
Lunch box customization
Customize your lunchbox! By attaching a top panel that also doubles as a small table—made from 100-yen shop items like wooden slats or pegboards—to your everyday lunchbox, you’re sure to make lunchtime more enjoyable.
The materials and steps are relatively simple, so if you like crafts or DIY, it should be an easy project to try.
If you often eat in places without desks or outdoors where there’s no space to set down a tumbler or soup jar, why not watch the video and create your own personal lunch space?
