Handmade accessories
Accessories that instantly elevate your outfit just by adding them to your look.
Handmade pieces feel especially special because they’re one of a kind.
They make great gifts for friends.
Compared to buying in a store, handmade is very cost-effective, and best of all, you can tailor the design to your friend’s tastes—guaranteed to delight.
They’re also surprisingly easy to make.
Pick up beads and findings at a 100-yen shop, then combine the parts.
You can enjoy arranging them into earrings, clip-ons, necklaces, and more.
Merch of my fave (idol/character)
These days, there probably aren’t many high schoolers who aren’t into “oshi-katsu” (supporting their favorite idols or characters).
Oshi-katsu has become a social phenomenon and a comforting presence that adds color to everyday life.
Many people even work hard at school so they can go to live shows and concerts! And oshi goods are essential for that.
With Daiso’s slide mirror keychain, all you have to do is stick on a photo of your fave and you’re done.
If you decorate it cutely, it also makes a great gift.
Since it’s a keychain, you can attach it to your bag and look at your oshi anytime for a quick power boost.
smartphone shoulder strap
Smartphones are indispensable for high school students, right? One popular item that makes using your phone more comfortable is a shoulder strap.
You can hang it from your shoulder and carry it like a small pouch.
The appeal is that you don’t have to take your phone out of your bag—you can quickly operate it whenever you need it.
This time, let’s make one of those shoulder straps using paracord.
Paracord comes in a variety of colors and, above all, is extremely durable.
By braiding paracord together, you can create a stylish shoulder strap.
pouch
Pouches are handy because you can use them to carry all sorts of things.
You can never have too many, and they make great gifts for friends.
For high school students, they’re often used for stationery or cosmetics.
This everyday essential that’s so useful can actually be made by hand.
First, prepare your favorite patterned fabric, fusible interfacing, and a zipper.
Sew the fabric with a sewing machine to shape it, attach the zipper, and you’re done.
If you follow the steps, it’s easy to make, so no worries.
Homemade sweets
When it comes to birthday presents, cake is the classic choice, but homemade cakes are difficult to make and tricky to transport.
In times like these, how about celebrating with festive cookies inspired by cakes? Use cookie dough as the base, vary the colors with chocolate, and combine them to create different types of cakes.
Stacking several cookies and placing them in a case makes the cake motif even clearer, so it’s a great recommendation.
