Things to Buy at 100-Yen Shops Before Starting Bride DIY

Weddings can be quite expensive, can't they…! To save as much as possible, brides should first head to the 100-yen shop for supplies ♩

At the 100-yen shop, you can find not only materials for creating wedding items but also the necessary tools and equipment for DIY. You can’t start without these essentials ♡

Here are some incredibly useful items for DIY that you can find at 100-yen shops.

Item 1 to Buy at 100-Yen Shops: 'Glue Gun'

The first thing you want to buy when doing DIY is a 'glue gun'＊

The stick-like resin melts with heat, and when the melted resin cools, it solidifies and adheres＊ While regular glue requires some time to set, glue from a glue gun cools and hardens almost instantly, making it very convenient and time-saving ♡

It’s great that such a handy item can be purchased at Daiso or Seria ♩
