Gifts with your grandchild’s photos! Easy DIY ideas

[Transcription] My bottle

[Transcription] Let’s make our own bottle with PET plastic ♡

This is an item that lets you design a portable personal bottle with photos of your grandchild.

Since it’s a bottle you can fill with your favorite drinks like water or tea, it’s useful for walks and outings.

First, prepare a bottle in your preferred shape that you can buy at a 100-yen shop.

Next, cut the image you’ll use to fit the size of the bottle.

At this stage, also cut a sheet used to prevent kitchen stains on walls, and attach it to the image.

Then rub it with a squeegee or similar tool for about 3–5 minutes.

After peeling off the release paper, place the paper on a tray, pour water over it, and scrub with a toothbrush.

Once the illustration appears clearly, drain the water and stick it onto the bottle to finish.

Original Mug

No press machine needed! An easy way to do mug sublimation printing at home

This item lets you print your grandchild’s photos or illustrations onto a mug.

The key point is that you can make it using only household items—no special machines or heat presses required.

First, print the illustration or photo on inkjet paper.

Place the printed paper at the center of a plain mug and secure it with masking tape.

Since it will undergo high heat later, it’s important to use heat-resistant tape.

Next, wrap a silicone mat around the mug to cover it.

Heat it in an oven at 200°C (about 392°F) for roughly 7 minutes, and the illustration will transfer onto the mug—done!

Cure again, then trim away any excess with nippers.

Finally, sand the edges and place the piece onto the base you made to finish.

First, take out the backing board from the back of the photo frame and make a hole in it where the center of the clock hands will go.

Next, align the hole with the illustration and the hands from the clock kit, attach them, and then reassemble the frame to finish.

It also makes a great gift if you draw an illustration based on a cherished photo, like a memory with your grandchild or a family picture.

Adding icons for special dates or a message of appreciation is another nice touch.

Next, make a stand by cutting and gluing thick paper, and use a clip to secure the calendar.
