paper clay craft

[DIY] Let's make cute interior decor using 100-yen store lightweight wood clay ♪ [Handmade]

How about trying to make small items with paper clay? These days, a variety of clays are sold at 100-yen shops—not just paper clay but also wood-pulp clay and stone-powder clay.

Stone-powder clay becomes firm when dry, making it great for objects and sculptures, while wood-pulp clay can be carved with chisels after drying, so you can create all sorts of things.

For ornaments, you might try a lightweight paper clay.

All of them can be painted with acrylics or other paints, so they’re also suitable for making miniatures.

You can cut shapes with cookie cutters and turn them into keychains, too.

coaster

DIY EASY COASTERS 4TYPE for beginner | Home Deco & Sewing Gifts Ideas [sewingtimes]

A coaster is one of those items that can make tea time more fun, don’t you think? The great thing is that even beginners at sewing can easily make one by hand.

Basically, you just cut your favorite fabric into squares and sew them together with a machine—of course, hand sewing works too.

You can freely customize the design, like making them round or in a patchwork style.

Just thinking about which fabrics to combine next might be enough to get you excited! They’re not only great for personal use but also make lovely small gifts, so give it a try.

pom-pom rug

Pom-pom rug: use up leftover yarn to the very end / Pom Pom Rug

Let’s make lots of pom-poms with yarn and try creating a colorful rug! You can use leftover yarn or buy your favorite yarn at a 100-yen shop.

If you make plenty of pom-poms all in the same size, you’ll end up with a large rug.

Once the pom-poms are ready, simply tie them evenly onto a non-slip mat.

Using various colors of yarn makes it super cute! A pom-pom maker is convenient for easily mass-producing pom-poms, but if you don’t have one, try making them using cardboard or similar materials.

finger puppet

[100-yen DIY] How to Make Anpanman Finger Puppets / Finger Puppet

Why not try making a cute Anpanman finger puppet out of felt? The part that goes on your finger will serve as the body, so sew the face base onto it and attach Anpanman’s facial features.

For the eyebrows and mouth, it’s better to use short pieces of thread rather than felt.

Use red felt for the body, but since that alone can look a bit plain, be sure to recreate Anpanman’s outfit details and cape as well.

When cutting out the small circular pieces for the nose and cheeks, I recommend using a hole punch.
