A tray that can also be used for storing accessories—its ease of making with paper clay is another key point.
The method is very simple: cut the paper clay to the shape of the base and attach walls around it to complete the form.
Decoration is just as important as the shape, so put care into painting with colors and choosing decorative pieces.
A light coat of paint will highlight the soft look of paper clay, while using varnish to apply richer color will give you a vivid finish.
It’s recommended to first think about what you’ll store, then adjust the shape and colors to suit the contents.
bread box

This is a large storage case with a softly textured wooden look, reminiscent of a barrel.
Start with a simple step: attach wooden pieces along the edge of a round cork board, arranging the pieces while leaving space for the lid that will be added later.
After sealing the other side with a matching cork board, move on to making the lid: attach wood to a sheet and bend it to match the curve of the base.
Finally, attach the hardware and legs to complete the piece.
Its simple appearance makes it fun to customize with your own decorations.
3 simple coasters

How about making coasters as a summer vacation craft? Here, we’ll introduce three methods.
The first is a coaster made by arranging tiles on top of paper clay.
The second is a coaster made by lining up beads and melting them in the microwave.
The third is a summery coaster that expresses a seasonal scene by placing shells, sequins, and stickers in resin.
They’re all easy to make, so give them a try.
You can buy most of the materials at 100-yen shops.

Bead and pipe cleaner ideas
https://www.tiktok.com/@n.annlee321/video/7175463534589922562Thread beads onto pipe cleaners to make all kinds of little accessories.
First curl one end of the pipe cleaner, then thread on a bead.
Insert the curled tip into the bead’s hole, pull the other side to lock it in place, and after that just add your favorite beads and form a loop.
Make it larger for a bracelet, or use flower-shaped beads to create a flower crown for a doll.
You can also use them for cable ties, tiny bottle decorations, and many other situations.
Because you’re using pipe cleaners, the beads don’t slip off easily after threading, making this an easy activity for toddlers and lower-grade elementary school children.
Making felt flowers

Why not try making flowers that never wilt using felt and pipe cleaners? It’s very easy and cute.
First, cut petals out of felt.
Slightly fold the base of each petal and snip along the crease—this is where you’ll thread the pipe cleaner later.
Cut a light green pipe cleaner into three 4 cm pieces.
Lay two pieces in an X shape, then place the third straight across and twist to form the stamen.
Wrap a green pipe cleaner around to make the stem, and wrap a yellow pipe cleaner around the tip of the stamen to represent the pollen.
Finally, thread the petals onto the stem and glue them in place to finish.
Try making your favorite flowers!
