Handmade Accessories (1–10)
tube strap

You can get all the materials at a 100-yen shop! Here are some ideas for tube straps.
A tube strap is a cute strap made by putting your favorite beads inside a tube.
Use beads in the recipient child’s favorite colors or motifs to create an original strap as a gift.
You’ll need an aquarium air tube, beads, a hot glue gun, and keychain parts.
Attach it to a bag or other belongings to make them easy to spot! It’s also fun to make them together.
Glue stick keychain
https://www.tiktok.com/@salt_kosodate/video/7472353111215000840We’re sharing ideas for glue stick keychains that you’ll want to attach to school bags or lesson bags! Keychains can be added to your favorite bags and items, so they make great gifts.
Plus, making them by hand lets you put your feelings into the present.
This time, let’s try making glue stick keychains.
You’ll need colored glue sticks, molds, glitter, keychain hardware, and more.
Try making them in matching shapes, or choose molds that fit each person’s image.
Candy lei

If you’re looking for visual impact, a candy lei is a great option.
A candy lei is an item that looks like a string of candies.
First, cut a wrapping sheet into a long vertical piece and line up candies on top.
Place each candy with a bit of space between them, and secure each one with tape so they don’t move.
Once that’s done, wrap the candies with the wrapping sheet, then tie ribbons in the spaces between the candies to finish.
Handmade Accessories (11–20)
Original keychain

Here’s an idea that makes it easy to add originality using photo keychains.
A photo keychain is a keychain with a transparent case that lets you insert any paper or stickers you like.
For example, you can put in a drawing or a message, or even clippings from magazines or candy packaging.
Of course, simply inserting a photo is great too.
Just fill it with things you love and create your own original keychain.
You can buy photo keychains at 100-yen shops and similar stores.
Beaded keychain

How about handmaking a cute, sparkly beaded keychain? You can get all the materials at a 100-yen shop, so you can create an original, adorable keychain at low cost.
If you choose larger beads and slightly thicker fishing line (beading thread), it’s easier to thread the beads, making it an enjoyable activity even for small children.
If your child has a kids’ phone or a smartphone, it can be used as a phone strap, and it also looks great on bags or keys.
Matching sets in different colors would make lovely gifts, too! Pick out your favorite beads together with your child and give it a try.
Hair elastic bracelet

Let’s try finger-weaving! Here are some ideas for making hair tie bracelets.
Using hair ties that are usually used to put your hair up, you can create colorful bracelets.
What you’ll need: hair ties, craft glue, beads, and scissors.
The steps are simple and easy to follow, and it’s great that you can freely adjust the length as you go! Exchanging the finished bracelets with friends could deepen your friendship.
Of course, you can also use them for hair styling, so give it a try!
Cool! Twisted-braid friendship braceletNEW!

Recommended for men! Let’s make a simple yet cool twisted-braid friendship bracelet.
You’ll use four strands of embroidery floss; the two in the center act as the core and won’t show on the surface, so any colors are fine.
Alternately lay the left and right strands over the core and create a twisted braid.
Though the twisted braid looks complicated, there’s actually just one knotting method.
By alternating the knots, a naturally twisted pattern forms.
If you want it more colorful, use different colors for the left and right strands.
