I Want to Gift the Tsuresohi Amulet to My Parents ♡

Receiving the "Yorisohi Amulet" at Nogizaka Shrine in Tokyo.

It is a couple's protection charm inspired by hakama and white bridal kimono, a standard item among brides-to-be.

The "Yorisohi Amulet" is a charm imbued with the wish for the couple to always be together...

There is another type, the "Tsuresohi Amulet," which is also a couple's charm.

The Tsuresohi Amulet carries the wish that, having spent many years together, the couple can continue to be together for a long time.

The vibrant design resembling a colorful wedding kimono strongly symbolizes the bond between the two and represents the couple who will always be together.

This Tsuresohi Amulet is popular as a gift from the bride and groom to their parents.

It's trending to DIY them into boards or boxes as a commemorative gift for the meeting of the two families or as a parent presentation item at the reception ♡

One for yourselves as a Yorisohi Amulet, and one for your parents as a Tsuresohi Amulet.

A commemorative gift that connects three couples is truly wonderful, isn't it?

In this article, we will introduce DIY Tsuresohi Amulet gifts for parents created by senior brides ♩

First, we introduce an idea to present the amulet just as it is in the box it came in from Nogizaka Shrine, without using boards or boxes.

This bride prepared a noshi and mizuhiki herself and decorated the box.

This bride placed a message card inside the box as a gift.

She wrote about the meaning of the Tsuresohi Amulet and that they will live happily together as a couple suitable for the Tsuresohi Amulet.

Many parents may be hearing about the Tsuresohi Amulet for the first time, so this idea of conveying its meaning through a message card is something to be emulated ♩

If you are giving it as is in a paper box at the face-to-face meeting of the two families, you might want to take such a lovely photo ♡

Next, here is an idea to DIY a Tsuresohi Amulet board using a photo frame ♩

This DIY idea showcases a large crane mizuhiki adorning the lid of the wood box.

You can DIY it with just a favorite design of a congratulatory envelope.

This Tsuresohi Amulet box was said to be made entirely with materials from a 100-yen shop.

There’s also a uniquely designed box that looks like the amulet is decorated on a kimono.

Surprisingly, it can be DIYed without any sewing at all.

It’s vibrant and lovely ♡

~How to Make~

① Cut a face towel in half

② Fold the cut towel and layer it with a fabric pattern (like dressing a towel in a kimono)

③ Insert small pieces of chirimen fabric at the collar

④ Insert a paper with "Jyu" from the congratulatory envelope at the neck

⑤ Insert the congratulatory envelope like a belt

⑥ Place the amulet inside and close the sliding lid

Of course, a simple design without a box is also good.
