It’s easy to make, so try creating a few by changing the color and shape of the main bead and swap them to match your outfit of the day.

Place it in a closet, drawer, car, bathroom, or by your pillow for a gentle fragrance.

Depending on the herbs or aromas used, it can also help repel insects.

Materials include small pieces of fabric and scraps, ribbon, and essential oils.

Sew a small fabric piece into a pouch, fill it with a bundle of fabric scraps centered around a scrap infused with essential oil, then insert a ribbon at the final edge and stitch it closed with a sewing machine to finish.

[Using Fabric Scraps] Fabric-Wrapped Hanger

Wire hanger remake: how to make a fabric-wrapped hanger

Let’s try a cute makeover for the wire hangers you get from dry cleaners.

If you have fabric scraps, you can make one right away, and wrapping the fabric around the hanger helps keep clothes from slipping off.

You can easily make it in about 15 minutes, so give it a try.

If you don’t have wire hangers at home, you can buy them at a 100-yen shop.

For the fabric to wrap around, use strips at least about 50 cm long, torn into roughly 2.5 cm widths.

Use glue to secure the ends.

Wood glue works, but fabric glue holds better and is more convenient.

[Crochet] Knit Cap

[Crochet] How to crochet a knit beanie / beanie / knitting / crochet / hat / crochet hook / knitting / beanie / knit hat

Let’s try making a knit hat with crochet, which uses just a single hook and is easy to carry around while you work.

To keep track of your stitches, use markers as you crochet.

While knitting with needles usually starts from the bottom, crochet is worked sideways; once you’ve made a length that goes all the way around the head, seam the ends together to form a tube.

Finally, thread yarn through the top (the crown), pull tight, and stitch it closed to finish.

Changing yarn colors as you go can make for a fun, lively hat.

[Sewing Machine] Tissue Box Cover

[Wall-mounted] How to make a tissue cover: box tissue case

When you leave a box of tissues out as is, it can look a bit plain, right? At times like that, adding a cover helps it blend in with your interior.

You can also insert eco-friendly, boxless refills, so give it a try.

First, sew the handle.

Adding stitches at both ends will increase its strength.

Next, sew the main body.

For the tissue opening, fold it into thirds to reinforce it and prevent fraying.

Do the top and bottom with French seams for the same effect.

Attach the handle on top, add a snap fastener, and you’re done.
