It’s perfect if you want to give a handmade gift but aren’t sure what to make.
All you need are a stand-type acrylic light and clear flake stickers.
It’s great that you can get both at a 100-yen shop! Decorate by sticking the clear flake stickers onto the acrylic plate.
It looks beautiful as-is or with the light turned on!
towel embroidery
Start with simple motifs! Here are some towel embroidery ideas.
If you find giving plain towels or handkerchiefs boring, this is a great idea for you.
What you’ll need: parchment paper, a pencil, a needle, and embroidery floss.
Sketch your design on the parchment paper, pin it to the towel with straight pins, and embroider using your favorite colors of floss.
Embroidery takes time, so it’s important to go slowly without rushing.
Be careful not to injure yourself with the needle as you work!
Fluffy pouch
Recommended as a handmade gift for elementary school kids! Here’s how to make a fluffy yarn pouch easily.
First, prepare a piece of cardboard with slits cut into it.
Next, thread your favorite color of fluffy yarn through a pair of chopsticks.
Weave it up and down.
Once you’ve woven to your desired length, flip it to the back, cut the yarn, and tie it together with the yarn next to it.
Make two identical pieces.
Trim the excess yarn and turn the bottom inside out.
Finally, fold it over and attach an inner pouch, and you’re done!
Making felt flowers

Why not try making flowers that never wilt using felt and pipe cleaners? It’s very easy and cute.
First, cut petals out of felt.
Slightly fold the base of each petal and snip along the crease—this is where you’ll thread the pipe cleaner later.
Cut a light green pipe cleaner into three 4 cm pieces.
Lay two pieces in an X shape, then place the third straight across and twist to form the stamen.
Wrap a green pipe cleaner around to make the stem, and wrap a yellow pipe cleaner around the tip of the stamen to represent the pollen.
Finally, thread the petals onto the stem and glue them in place to finish.
Try making your favorite flowers!
Perfect for small gifts! Gift wrapping
If you’re thinking that a birthday present might feel a bit plain when both the wrapping bag and its contents are store-bought, how about a handmade mini pouch made from origami? It’s the perfect little pouch for small chocolates or candies, so once you learn how to make it, you’ll find it handy in many situations.
All you need is origami paper and glue—even if you’re not confident with crafts, it’s OK! Using 15 cm × 15 cm origami paper yields a palm-sized pouch.
Since it’s made by layering the paper, it’s reasonably sturdy too, which is a nice bonus.

You’ll need a clear round gift box, beads and charms, tape, and washi tape.
Put the beads and charms into the lid of the gift box, then secure it to the bottom part of the container with tape—and you’re done! Adding decorative washi tape to the container itself will make it even more festive.
