magnetic bookmark

Perfect for Respect for the Aged Day and the reading season! DIY magnetic bookmarks using 100-yen store items #AtHomePlay #Handmade #KidsCrafts #DIYToys #Children’sCrafts #AtHomeTime #LifeHacks #PreschoolIdeas #RespectForTheAgedDay

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.

Gem-like soap

Summer Independent Research: How to Make Gemstone-Like Soaps [Recommended for Girls] [Research]

Gemstone soaps are available as DIY kits, but they’re easy to make as long as you have glycerin soap and coloring.

Cut the glycerin soap into small pieces and place them in a container, then heat in a microwave at 500W for 10 seconds.

Mix in your favorite colorant to add color, and add aroma for fragrance.

Once you’ve made a few colors, pour them into another container in layers and let them set—that’s it! Try changing the color combinations and see what kinds of gemstones you can create.

Using a clear soap base also gives a light, airy look and is highly recommended.

Corner clip rice balls and sandwiches

Let’s make onigiri rice balls and sandwiches using corner clips for holding papers! For the onigiri, stick double-sided tape on the clip, then attach white, long-pile yarn to it.

Next, glue a small square of black felt on top to act as the seaweed, and it’s done! It’s also fun to tuck pieces of felt that look like fillings into the gap of the clip.

For the sandwich, prepare white felt cut into a triangle like bread, and felt cut into shapes for ham and lettuce.

Stick them together with double-sided tape in the order of fillings, then bread, and you’re finished! You can customize both the onigiri and sandwiches by changing the colors of felt and the types of “fillings” you cut out.

Krispy Kreme-style decorated doughnuts

[100-yen shop clay] Krispy Kreme-style decorated donuts

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts drew attention not only for their taste but also for their colorful appearance.

Focusing on that cute, colorful look, this is about recreating them as mascots.

The base is made by shaping clay in a mold, then adding other colored clays and decorations to embellish it.

It looks fun not only to recreate actual products but also to decorate them in your own way and make original donuts.
