Japan’s Twitterers show off more clever ways to transform 100-yen store items
These are the best “wrong” way to use those 100-yen purchases.
It’s hardly a secret anymore that Japan’s 100 yen shops, akin to dollar stores in the west, carry some useful stuff. With a little bit of ingenuity, a few 100-yen items can be made into something even greater, as we recently saw with Japanese cosplayers showing off some of the amazing accessories they’ve made on Twitter, under the hashtag #HyakkinGuzzuMachigattaTsukaikataSenshuken (“championship for the best ‘wrong’ use of 100 yen store goods”).
Even if you don’t cosplay, there are still plenty of creative ways you use items from your local 100 yen shop! Here’s a look at some of the more clever ideas we seen:
