DIY lifestyle and gear customization trends

Overview

DIY customization trends are gaining traction among lifestyle enthusiasts, focusing on personalizing gear and improving home organization using affordable products.

Initial trends involve personalizing lifestyle and outdoor items. Individuals are using components from MUJI’s ‘Found MUJI’ line, such as nut buttons and Tirol ribbons, to add handmade yarn tassels and embroidery to jute bags. Functional upgrades, such as adding VISOA zipper pulls, are also being used to enhance the usability of outdoor gear.

More recent trends have shifted toward repurposing affordable items from 100-yen shops like Daiso and Seria for home organization. Popular social media methods include transforming Daiso eye-shaped pouches into hand towel holders without sewing, and converting standard face towels into drawstring bags using ribbons and bag tape.
