Supplies: flattened bottlecap, mod podge, manga image, keychain

1. Cut your picture to fit within the flat part of the bottlecap. The picture can be from a manga, another picture you want to use, or even a printed screenshot. You can also cut a few small pictures and collage them.
2. Brush a thin layer of mod podge onto the bottlecap and lay your picture(s) on top. Make sure not to add too much mod podge or the paper may warp.
3. Let dry for a few moments, then brush a few coats of mod podge on top, letting each one dry before adding the next.
4. Open the loop on the bottlecap and slide the last link in the chain onto it to complete your keychain.
5. Done!

Supplies: Blank bookmark, mod podge, manga pages

1. Cut and lay out the manga how you want it. Do this first, so you have a plan before you start gluing (you can just wing it if you prefer). You can either trim your manga to fit the bookmark before you start gluing, or trim it at the end.
2. Brush a thin layer of mod podge onto a section of the bookmark, enough to fit one or two pieces of manga. Don’t glob it on too thick or your paper will warp.
3. Stick the manga to the bookmark, adding more mod podge as you go. It dries quickly, so it’s easiest to work in sections.
4. Coat the entire surface in a few thin layers of mod podge to seal everything in. Let dry again before trimming around the edges if needed, then repeating on the other side of the bookmark.
5. There is a hole in the top of the bookmark. If you want to tie some twine or ribbon through this, poke through the paper first, then tie your decoration on. You can also attach charms or beads if you want. If you would rather leave it without the hole, you can do that too.
6. Done!

Supplies: Felt, needle, thread, glue (optional)

1. Cut out your pattern, then either pin it to the felt, or trace it.
2. Cut out the felt. If you want to sew on your eyes, cheeks, and/or embroider the mouth, do it now. You will also need a long strip of felt, so be careful to leave at least one piece intact. Trim any uneven edges off the strip.
3. Roll the long strip around the end of a pencil or pen, and glue or sew it so it doesn’t unwrap. This will make your Pikachu’s neck.
4. Pin or hold the two sides of your head together and put the neck in the middle, sewing or gluing it in place.
5. Blanket stitch around the head, stuffing the ears as you go. Stop about an inch before you’re done, then add the last of your stuffing and finish sewing around.
6. Glue on your pikachu’s eyes and cheeks (if you haven’t already sewn them on). I recommend using hot glue for this step but other glues will work, they just take longer to dry. I used a sharpie to draw on pikachu’s mouth and nose, and added some white to create highlights on the eyes.
7. Once the glue is dry, your Pikachu is ready!

Supplies: wire, polymer clay, necklace cord

1. Start by bending your wire in half, making a loop at the top for the pendant to hang from, then form it to the basic shape of the letter you want to make.
2. Add clay onto the wire skeleton. I find it easiest to start with the white circle and add black around it, but you can do whatever is easiest for you. Using your fingers, clay tools or a toothpick, refine the look of your clay until it is the shape you want.
3. Bake the clay at 275° for 10-15 minutes on piece of foil on a cookie sheet. Let it cool completely.
4. Once cool, hang from the necklace cord and it’s ready to wear!
