Rice made from yarn

@n.annlee321

What kind of rice do you like? 🙂#tiktok classroomLife with children#HandmadeToys#AtHomePlay

Good music – neguse.

Let’s make a rice mascot that conveys warmth by making the most of yarn’s soft look.

The steps are to bundle yarn wound around a fork and then cut it; the key is shaping it so it ends up looking like rice.

Place it in a bowl or lunchbox-style container you made separately, and aim for an even more appetizing look with additional decorations.

Plain white rice can look too simple, so try mixing in other colors as you wind the yarn, or add side dishes you’ve crafted separately—both are great options.

Botanical candle

Easy Even for Beginners! [DIY Candle Recipe] Basic Method for Making Botanical Candles

Why not try making a botanical candle—an adorable, soothing item? Place a candle that will serve as the wick upside down in the center of a mold, then pack dried flowers, fruits, and other materials around it.

Pour in melted wax, let it set, and you’re done! It’s very beginner-friendly, so elementary school students are welcome to give it a try.

In addition to dried flowers and fruits, you can also add beads or sequins.

Since you’ll use a cooktop to melt the wax, please have an adult assist with that step.

Pom-pom Rug Mat

A fluffy, cozy pom-pom rug mat made with a toilet paper roll core and yarn

Let’s make a pom-pom rug that looks like something you’d find at an interior shop! You can easily make pom-poms all the same size by using two empty toilet paper rolls.

Make lots of pom-poms, then tie them one by one onto a non-slip rug pad, and you’re done! You can buy both the yarn and the non-slip pad at a 100-yen shop.

Depending on the size of the rug, you’ll need plenty of pom-poms, and tying them on can be a lot of work—but it’s worth it for the adorable result.

A round shape or even a heart shape would be absolutely cute!
