[For Adults] Simple yet Impressive Crafts: A Stylish, Eye-Catching Collection

Transparent cute coaster

I tried making cute clear coasters! Perfect for a parent-child craft project over summer vacation, too!

Summer is supposed to be hot, but don’t you feel like the summers lately are getting hotter every year? When it’s hot, we crave cold drinks—so why not make coasters to brighten up your drink time and turn it into a summer science project? You’ll be using two-part resin and other chemicals, so be sure to have an adult or an older sibling help you when handling them.

Aside from working with the chemicals, it’s basically just decorating coasters, so even small children can join in! We’re looking forward to seeing your cool, refreshing coasters!

drawer storage

[Any size box is OK] Turn an empty tissue box into a cute drawer ♪ An easy DIY that will make you want to make lots of them ♪ How to make a drawer from a tissue box

This drawer-style storage is so functional you’d never guess it’s made from a tissue box.

Take the box apart, then cut and shape the outer and inner pieces separately.

After reassembling, punch a hole in the front of the drawer section, thread a knob through, and secure it with a screw and washer for smooth opening and closing.

Add dividers inside to neatly organize stationery and small items.

Decorate with design paper to give it a polished look that doesn’t feel utilitarian.

It’s a storage-focused idea that broadens the ways you can repurpose empty boxes.

Sparkling hourglass

[Easy Craft 🍉] How to Make a Sparkling Hourglass ❣️

Let’s make a cute, sparkly hourglass that doubles as interior decor.

Prepare two small bottles, glitter to use as sand, a clear plastic file sheet, and decorative parts.

Cut the clear file slightly larger than the bottle opening and make a hole in the center for the glitter to pass through.

Attach tape and half-cover the hole, then glue it to the bottle.

Add the glitter and glue on the other bottle.

Finish it off cutely with decorative parts.

After adding the glitter, be careful not to turn it over until the adhesive has dried.

Cute herbarium

[100-Yen DIY] Easy, Cute Herbarium – Perfect for a Summer Vacation Craft! Daiso Arrangement

Why not try making a herbarium, a popular interior decoration? Prepare a container, your favorite flowers and beads, and baby oil.

First, place the flowers and beads into the container, being careful not to overfill it.

Also, if anything tends to float when put in liquid, soak it in the liquid beforehand.

Once you’ve added all the parts, slowly pour in the baby oil, close the container lid, and it’s done.

You can also focus on choosing a stylish container and decorate it with stickers or washi tape to make it extra cute.

small pouch with handle

You can make that with bamboo from DAISO! #100yenShop #100yenDIY #DAISO #YouTube #YouTubeShorts

Let me introduce a small handled organizer made from straws.

Lately, you often hear the word “sustainable,” meaning environmentally friendly.

Bamboo straws, which are an eco-conscious alternative to plastic, are even sold at 100-yen shops.

Take 10 bamboo straws and secure them together with glue, then attach them to a small wooden plate with holes.

Glue bamboo straws to both sides as well, insert a bamboo straw into the plate’s hole, and it’s complete.

It’s perfect for holding remote controls or seasonings.

Since it’s made of bamboo and wood, you can create a piece that feels warm and handmade.

lampshade

I tried making a lampshade! Perfect for a summer vacation project—my child and I had fun making it together 😊

Here’s a lampshade idea that also works as room decor.

Brush glue mixed with water onto an inflated balloon, then stick on small torn pieces of washi paper.

For sturdiness, layer the washi several times until the balloon’s color isn’t very visible.

Be sure to leave an opening where the light will go.

Since washi is white, use tissue paper if you want to add color.

Once it’s completely dry, pop the balloon and remove it, then secure a wire along the inside edge of the opening for the light to finish it off.

Wall-mounted interior decor

A wall-hanging made from egg cartons is a striking piece that adds a sophisticated touch to any space.

Cut the egg carton into sections and shape them into petals, buds, and leaves.

Paint from the back side of the carton to preserve the glossy finish on the front.

Even this stiff material will form natural curves when heat is applied, resulting in flowers that look almost real.

For the flower centers, use tinted wood shavings to refine the details.

Paint the background food trays gently in yellow and white to make the blue flowers stand out.

Display the work in a frame-like arrangement to give it a painterly feel.

It’s an artful idea that can instantly transform the mood of a room.
