For Exam Takers: Handmade Good-Luck Charms to Wish for Success — Heartfelt Ideas That Truly Convey Your Support

Message Cloud Gummy Charm

A charm with a message 💙 Let’s cheer on exam takers with cloud gummies ☁️ #SupportExamTakers #Charm #DIYCrafts

The fluffy and cute cloud gummy charm becomes even more appealing when you add a message.

Cut white paper to the size of the charm and paint a sky-themed design with paints.

Cut out the cloud gummy design portion.

Cut out the words for the charm and the cloud gummy that you wrote on a separate sheet, and glue them onto the front of the charm.

It might be even nicer if you include a warm message inside and arrange it so the recipient’s name is visible through a cut-out window.

Using the packaging of the recipient’s favorite candy as a reference when making the charm can add humor and might be a hit among friends.

Locker key-style charm

Just cut and paste! I made a locker key–style amulet out of felt. #SupportForExamTakers #ExamAmulet #FeltAmulet

A charming locker-key-style amulet that evokes a sense of nostalgia—and you can add the recipient’s name.

The method is simple: cut felt into the shape of a locker key to make the base.

Once you’ve decided on the recipient’s name and the message you want to convey, cut the felt to match the printed letters.

Then carefully attach the cut felt letters to the felt base, checking the balance as you go.

For the keychain part, adding an eyelet is recommended for extra durability.

If letters are difficult, you could make a student number or jersey number instead.

A charm made with laminated film and felt

Thinking about the colors and design is part of the fun of making this charm.

Cut aurora design sheets, transparent origami, and cellophane sheets into squares with scissors.

Place flake stickers and the cut pieces between laminating film and run them through a laminator.

When laminating, the key is to feed it in slowly and straight.

Cut two pieces of felt into the shape of the charm and cut out the center.

Sandwich the laminated sheet, cut to charm size, between the felt pieces and attach them using double-sided tape.

Add floral decorations and thread at the top, and your translucent, elegant charm is complete.

Cut-and-paste gift charm

@katakoto__handmade

Entrance exams feel like a battle the parents are fighting too... This is a story from one of my followers. Sometimes I don’t know what to say, and in those moments, I put my feelings into a “form” and made a little charm. It’s okay if it’s a bit clumsy. I hope this small box holds the strength to gently push you forward.

♬ Watashi – Mrs. GREEN APPLE

It’s a charm that conveys the warmth of something handmade and the strength to succeed.

Decide on the shape and size of the piece you want to make using a template, then place it on felt and cut out the parts.

After cutting the base, use tweezers to attach the parts; this helps you fine-tune the balance of small details, so it’s recommended.

Sew the charm pouch together with a needle and thread.

Make the pouch to match the size of the piece you want to create.

Add a small handwritten message, place everything in a clear keychain sleeve, and it will make a delightful gift.

Resin good-luck charm for passing (exams)

I tried making a resin charm using a Seria mold.

These resin amulets let you enjoy translucent colors and textures.

You can make them with items from a 100-yen shop, so they’re a great low-budget project for anyone who wants to take their time.

First, coat artificial flowers or other small parts with resin and cure them.

Then place an OHP sheet with a message like “Success on exams” on top and cure again to finish.

You can also prepare colored resin and pair it with clear resin amulets.

Why not try creating eye-catching charms with a rich, glamorous look?

Iron bead amulet

Matching lucky charms made with Perler beads that even little kids can make

A charm made with iron beads you can buy at a 100-yen shop is perfect as a gift to wish someone success, because the colorful beads lift the spirits.

When making this charm, the key is to first decide on the design you want—such as a traditional charm shape or a rabbit—before you start.

After arranging the beads on the base, you fix them with an iron, so be careful to avoid burns.

Finally, iron the ribbon piece as well and attach it to the main piece, and you’ll have a lovely charm ready to go!

How to make a round amulet pouch

Why not try making a round, elegant, and luxurious omamori (good-luck charm)? First, sew together pieces of fabric cut into circles to make a small pouch.

A key tip is to press it with an iron at this stage to shape it nicely.

Next, thread a cord through holes at the top of the pouch and place a small cotton-filled sachet inside.

Finally, tie it with the cord and trim any excess, and you’re done.

Feel free to use any fabric you like, from patterned to solid colors.

It’s also recommended to stitch in messages like “Success” or “Victory.”
