Practical Handmade Accessories and Bags (11–20)
rosette

If she’s an elementary school girl, chances are she has at least one favorite idol or anime character, right? So let’s handcraft a rosette, a must-have item for supporting your fave! The frilled ribbon part of a rosette might seem tricky, but there’s actually a handy tool called a rosette supporter.
With this, even elementary schoolers can make one easily—give it a try! Once you’ve prepared the base and the basic frill, decorate it to your liking.
Use ribbons, gems, and other parts in your oshi’s color to finish it off cutely!
Tulip

How about making hand-sewn tulips using fabric scraps? They’re so cute you’ll want to make several.
You’ll need fabric scraps, craft stuffing, wire cutters and round-nose pliers, and green wire for the flower stems.
First, cut the wire to your preferred length and curl the tip with the round-nose pliers.
Fold one edge of the fabric, then sew it into a loop.
Do a running stitch along another edge, thread the wire through, and turn the fabric right side out.
Stuff the inside of the flower with stuffing.
Once stuffed, secure the top at four points at the same time, and you’re done.
They’re super cute!
Hand-sewn eco bag

How about trying to make a handmade eco bag? These days you need an eco bag almost everywhere—convenience stores, supermarkets—and it’s inconvenient not to have one.
You can make it by folding a single piece of fabric, so all you have to sew are the sides and the handles.
The pattern’s curves can be drawn freehand, and you can pin the pattern to the fabric and cut it out as is, which makes it a nice, casual project.
Your family and friends will surely be happy to receive one as a gift! It also folds up small, making it easy to carry—another big plus.
gather mask

Until not long ago, masks were generally thought of as white, but now there are plenty of colorful ones, aren’t there? How about trying to handcraft a mask using fabric you like? You might worry that fabric masks aren’t very functional, but this design includes a nose wire, and you can insert a nonwoven filter between the two layers of fabric and easily replace it.
Gathering the fabric on both sides might be a bit tricky, but if you sew carefully you’ll be fine—you can even make it without a sewing machine.
Simple small items made with towels

You’ve got a favorite patterned towel, right? How about using that favorite towel to make a bag or pouch that can be used in two ways? Fold a face towel in half, fold and sew both ends, insert D-rings and sew both sides, then thread a cord through and attach swivel snap hooks at the ends—voilà, you’ve got a drawstring bag that can be worn as both a backpack and a shoulder bag! And with a small towel and a zipper, you can also easily make a gusseted pouch.
It’s so simple that you’ll want to start making them as soon as you find a cute patterned towel!
