cotton ball lights
You might have seen cotton ball lights before.
But did you know you can make them yourself? All you need are balloons and cotton yarn.
The best part is you can choose any colors and sizes you like.
Pair them with LED lights, and you’ll get a wonderfully stylish vibe.
They’re perfect for brightening up a dark room or decorating for special occasions.
Because they’re handmade, they have a unique warmth that’s soothing just to look at.
Just hanging them on the wall can transform the feel of your room.
If you remake them to match the season or an event, you can enjoy a fresh atmosphere anytime.
paper fan
A paper fan that instantly brightens up any space just by being there.
It’s great as a small interior accent or wall decoration, so why not try making one by hand? Score fold lines on your favorite colored cardstock and fold it in half.
Using a scoring board for this step can save time! Make two identical pieces and glue them together, then accordion-fold the whole thing.
Next, tie the center with string and round off both ends with scissors.
Open it up and secure the ends with clips to finish! You can stick it directly to the wall with double-sided tape, or thread a string through the top and hang it—both look lovely.
floating frame
A floating frame is a decorative item made by placing flowers or other objects inside a frame so that they look as if they are floating.
You can make it cute with pressed flowers, artificial flowers, or even flowers folded from origami.
Displaying three-dimensional objects in a frame creates a more enjoyable effect than hanging a flat picture.
If you make the pieces with origami, you can choose your favorite colors and designs, making it a great material for those who want to spark their imagination.
Select colors and designs that match your room to beautifully brighten up your space.
Himmeli
Himmeli, a traditional Finnish mobile.
It is said to have been made in search of light during the dark, cold Christmas season.
You can easily make one if you have straws or any hollow tubular material, so give it a try.
The basic structure combines triangles; besides regular octahedrons, once you get used to it you can create shapes like stars or trees.
You can also place air plants inside a himmeli to use it as stylish decor.
Try making one with materials you have on hand.
lease
Making a wreath is surprisingly easy.
Just choose materials that match the season and arrange them in a circle.
For autumn, nuts and dried leaves are great; for winter, pinecones and white yarn that looks like snow are recommended.
If the whole family makes one together, it becomes a fun activity, and it also gives you something to chat about with guests.
Just having a handmade wreath makes the room feel much warmer.
Add a ribbon or some lights to create an even more special atmosphere.
Swap it out each season and enjoy a stylish wall all year round!
Spherical felt garland
How about a cute garland made of felt spheres? The method is simple, and it’s great that all you really need is a hot glue gun.
First, cut the felt into circles, fold each one in half, and glue the fold with the hot glue gun.
Next, take three of the resulting felt half-circles and glue them together along the folded edges to form a hemisphere.
Finally, sandwich the string for the garland between two hemispheres and glue them together to finish.
Enjoy choosing colors and arranging them in an order that matches the atmosphere of the space where you plan to display the garland.
Wall decoration made with an embroidery hoop and dried flowers
Why not try making a stylish, natural-looking wall decor piece using a round embroidery hoop and dried flowers? All the materials are easy to find, even at 100-yen shops.
Stretch your favorite fabric taut in the embroidery hoop, then decorate it with artificial flowers of your choice.
Start by arranging various elements to build your design image—you’ll end up with something lovely.
Artificial flowers are easy to attach with a hot glue gun, so no complicated techniques are needed.
The decoration ideas are up to your sense of style.
Create lots of different designs and dress up your walls beautifully.
