[Handmade] How to Make a Mask Strap Even Beginners Can Do

How about giving a subtly cute mask strap for Mother’s Day to lift her spirits? Compared to bracelets or necklaces, it uses fewer beads, so it’s easy for beginners to try.

Of course you’ll need the parts, but tools like nippers, round-nose pliers, and flat-nose pliers also play a very important role, so be sure to have them ready before you start.

One of the joys of handmade items is being able to freely change the design by choosing your favorite bead colors and combining different parts.

It’s a simple project that looks stylish and more expensive than it is, so definitely give it a try.

Wiring

Easy even for beginners! Delicate wire ring – handmade accessory, simple ring, great for stacking. Includes a few tips on how to make it.

Introducing a simple and stylish wire ring.

Prepare flat-nose pliers, round-nose pliers, wire cutters, wire, a plastic hammer, and a felt-tip pen, and let’s get started.

Cut the wire to about 10 cm and add a curve.

Wrap it around something rounded and shape it to your ring size.

Trim any excess length with round-nose pliers, file the tip, and curl it with the round-nose pliers.

Finally, gently tap the ring with a hammer to refine the shape, and you’re done! If you wrap a pearl threaded onto the wire around the ring, it becomes even more fashionable.

Choosing whether to use silver or gold wire is part of the fun too!

Tissue paper teddy bear

[100-Yen DIY ♡ Mother’s Day] How to Make a Tissue Paper Bear 🧸 Paper Flower

An idea for making a cute-looking, surprisingly soft teddy bear out of tissue paper! You’ll make use of tissue paper’s characteristic softness, which gives it a gentler feel than ordinary materials.

Stack several sheets of tissue paper that have been accordion-folded and secure them in the center; then, just like making a flower, fan out each sheet one by one to create a hemispherical piece.

It’s the same pom-pom often used for wall decorations.

Make another hemispherical piece and combine them to form a sphere—this becomes the bear’s head.

Create the ears, nose, and body using the same method, then add beads for the eyes and a ribbon to finish.

At first glance, you’d never guess it was made from tissue paper.
