Handmade accessories and decorations (41–50)
magnetic bookmark
Let’s try making bookmarks with magnets.
Regular bookmarks usually go between the pages you’ve read.
By adding magnets to a bookmark, you can create one that also holds photos or messages.
Place origami, portraits, or photos inside a laminating sheet and laminate them.
It’s convenient to use no-machine laminating sheets—often available at 100-yen shops.
Once laminated, attach a magnet to the bottom part, and you’re done.
It’s a bookmark you’ll enjoy using yourself and one that would make a delightful gift for family and friends.
Simple mitten knitting pattern
Fluffy and cute! Here are some simple ideas for knitting mittens.
How about making your own handmade mittens to keep you warm in the cold winter? By using yarn in your favorite colors and materials, you can create a one-of-a-kind pair of original mittens! All you need are yarn, a size 10 needle, and a size 8 needle.
Feel free to adjust the needle sizes depending on the yarn material.
Adding a small embroidered accent to the finished mittens will make them even more adorable!
Handmade crafts (1–10)
bath bomb
Did you know you can make your own bath bombs? All you need are baking soda, citric acid, and cornstarch.
Mix them together, then add a scent with essential oils.
Next, add some food coloring for a pop of color.
After that, mix well while gradually adding water, and let it dry.
That completes the basics.
From there, decorate as you like or try molding them into unique shapes.
You might even create things you’d never find in stores!
snack refrigerator
As a unique gift idea, let’s introduce a “snack refrigerator.” This involves making a storage box that looks like a mini fridge.
You’ll finish it by covering an empty box with construction paper, adding drawers, and so on.
If you incorporate designs featuring things the recipient likes—such as anime characters—they might appreciate it even more.
Once it’s done, fill it with snacks to complete the gift.
The snacks will be eaten and disappear, but the container can be used again and again.
snow globe
Snow globes you can display at home are also recommended.
The materials you’ll need are an empty jar, liquid glue, and items to put inside such as a small figurine and glitter.
You can get all of them at a 100-yen shop.
Once you’re ready, start by gluing the figurine and other items inside the jar.
Using adhesive will make it go smoothly.
Next, after the glue has dried, add water and then pour in some liquid glue.
Finally, add glitter and the like to finish it off.
The steps are quite simple, so you’ll probably pick it up quickly.
What you choose to put inside is the key, so give it some thought.
tile coaster
Would you like to try making stylish coasters like the ones you see in cafes? First, prepare some coasters sold at 100-yen shops and some tiles.
Be sure to choose coasters with a recessed area.
Next, place the tiles on drawing paper to decide your layout.
Then set the tiles into the recess of the coaster and secure them with powdered cement.
You’ll end up with a coaster embedded with tiles.
The atmosphere will change depending on the tiles you use, so take your time choosing them.
magnet
Why not try making a handy item—a magnet? Surprisingly, the process is simple.
First, prepare a plastic bottle cap.
Next, attach a magnet to the inside.
That’s your base.
After that, add decorations.
For example, you can stick double-sided tape on the surface and cover it with felt, draw your favorite illustrations, or add stickers.
You could also connect multiple caps to create something larger.
Think about what kind of magnet you’d like to make!
