Handmade crafts (1–10)
photo stand
Is there anyone who wants to give a gift of a memorable photo to someone special? If so, consider incorporating this photo stand idea.
In this project, you cut cardboard to the size of the photo, attach a piece of film to the cut-out window, and assemble it into a photo stand.
By decorating the film and frame, you can create a one-of-a-kind photo stand.
You can also use the same method to make a card case.
Compared to giving just the photo by itself, this approach conveys a more heartfelt touch.
candy bouquet
Tasty to eat and cute to look at! Here are some candy bouquet ideas.
Do you ever wonder what to bring to an event or home party? This is a perfect recommendation for those times: something everyone can enjoy eating that also looks adorable! What you’ll need: straws, foil balloons, ribbon, candy, tape, scissors, wrapping bags, and stickers.
You can customize the candies and wrapping to suit the person you’re giving it to, so definitely give it a try.
herbarium
A special-day gift idea! Here are some herbarium inspirations.
A herbarium is a decorative piece made by preserving flowers and leaves in oil inside a glass bottle.
They’re popular gifts because they require no maintenance! Let’s make a herbarium that keeps flowers and leaves looking beautiful for a long time.
You’ll need herbarium oil, a container, stickers, clear sheets, and hydrangea and baby’s breath.
It’s great that you can get the materials at a 100-yen shop, too.
Rearranging the flowers and leaves changes the mood and makes it really fun!
Snack box
Perfect for a surprise gift! Here are some ideas for a candy box.
For children, sweets are a source of fun and joy, and many kids have their favorites.
This time, let’s pick the child’s favorite treats and make a candy box.
You’ll need three lidded boxes of different sizes, your chosen candies, and a utility knife.
Each time they open a box, they’ll discover more of their favorite treats, creating a sense of excitement—highly recommended as a gift for kids!
Air freshener made with ice packs
Try gifting an air freshener that will fill their home with a lovely scent.
For this idea, you’ll use a cold pack.
First, put the contents of the cold pack into a jar.
Next, add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to add fragrance.
Finally, decorate it by adding glass marbles or a few drops of paint.
You’ll end up with an air freshener that looks like something you’d find in a store.
Choose scents and decorations that match the recipient’s tastes.
It’s also a great idea to decorate the jar itself with a ribbon.

small accessory case
Do you have a small storage box at home? You can keep it on your desk for stationery, or store toys and cards—there are so many ways to use it.
So, let’s make a handy little storage box.
The main material is a milk carton.
Turn the milk carton on its side and cut out one of the side panels.
Then decorate it.
Try covering it with paper or fabric so it doesn’t look like a milk carton.
Next, use the piece you cut out to make two lids, and it’s done.
The nice, compact size is another plus.
Pen stand
Let’s make use of plastic bottles! Here are some ideas for a pen stand.
Speaking of pen stands, they’re a must-have item for elementary school students, right? They’re often used at home to hold pencils and pens upright.
This time, let’s make a pen stand using a mini-sized plastic bottle with a smooth surface.
You’ll need a plastic bottle, a kitchen paper roll core, a utility knife, patterned origami paper, double-sided tape, beads, a hot glue gun, and pom-poms for decoration.
The result is pop and cute, but you can change the vibe by playing with colors and patterns.
