modeS4u’s own Sandra recently created a super cute new item that we really wanted to show off here! Choosing a lovely children’s Robert Kaufman fabric with a superhero design, she made a fabulous present, a “Schultüte”, for her son, Mason. As you will see in the photo included below, it is a huge cone-shaped container, and Mason looks very glad to have it in his hands! Are you wondering why? Well, the handmade cone is beautiful of course, but let’s get to know more about the Schultüte.
In German culture, children are given a Schultüte for their first day at primary school to ‘sweeten’ their start. These are usually filled with candy and stationery. Mason’s Schultüte also included socks and T-shirts. The Schultüte is undoubtedly a big hit with children!
Did you know about this charming tradition from countries like Austria and Germany? It is really a smart idea, easily turning kawaii stationery supplies and some other useful school items like clothes or bento boxes into a great present! You just need to add a few small gifts or sweets inside, and a gorgeous wrapping on the outside. This is easily done, too: you may use some poster paper or light cardboard glued into a cone shape, then decorate the outside with fabric as Sandra did, and further wrap the inside bundle with colored tissue paper.
Have you ever made a Schultüte? Let us know!
Mason looks very happy with his Schultüte!

We love welcoming new kawaii San-X characters, so here comes our presentation and tribute post for the brand new San-X panda bear, Hamipa! As soon as we saw Hamipa’s design, we realized he was a somewhat peculiar panda bear. Below, you will find some descriptive images by San-X that tell us how Hamipa developed, check them out!
It all started with a normal panda bear, and we know pandas are relaxed, right? Well, it seems Hamipa is especially easy-going, relaxed and lazy, even for a panda! So, after too much relaxing, and taking things too easy, the big black patch on his fur slid down his belly until it became something like loose short pants… that are just too big for him, and keep sliding down!
Hamipa is not bothered by this, he really does not care, and would rather be free of pants of any kind. In addition, he often takes advantage of such loose garment, carrying things tucked into his pants, such as an apple… or even his good friend, the owl Pichihiko! Pichihiko usually pulls up Hamipa’s pants when the bear is fast asleep, but as soon as he leaves, Hamipa turns around and they slip down again!
In our kawaii shop we already have a lot of cute Japanese stationery featuring Hamipa, so we invite you to come and see them. In the meantime, take a look at the images below, we hope you like them!
Hamipa is a very funny panda!
Here he is with his friend Pichihiko
He’s a lazy panda indeed!

Those of you who follow us closely will have noticed that there is a new San-X character roving around the Japanese stationery section of our kawaii shop: a cute light brown raccoon named Kokoro Araiguma (where Araiguma means raccoon in Japanese). And it was about time we introduced her to you!
Kokoro Araiguma is a very special raccoon, because she has a super power! And a really beautiful and inspiring one it is: she can heal hearts when they are sad or broken! In addition, her power has a potency or effectiveness of 120%, so heart healing is guaranteed 🙂 The funniest thing of all is that Kokoro Araiguma manages to heal broken hearts by washing them! Thus, her basin, soap bubbles and clothesline are common elements of the illustrations where this cute character appears. Check them all out in this San-X video!
Of course, Sensei Heart-chan appears in this story, too! He is a sensitive and kind heart that benefits like no other from the super healing power of Kokoro Araiguma, and there is also a somewhat grumpy Japanese raccoon, named Ashi Araiguma. Possibly due to his bad temper, Ashi Araiguma only has 30% healing power … and sometimes ends up being equally washed and hung out to dry, perhaps in an attempt by Kokoro to improve his mood.
We love the idea of this super healing power! The aching heart changes color and gets covered in a hard layer that’s easily cracked… until the special washing power of Kokoro Araiguma restores it to his usual looks and character! We welcome all these characters to our kawaii world!
We love Kokoro already!
Isn’t she kawaii?
Kokoro, Ashi and Sensei Heart-Chan out together!
What a sweet picture!

There are just soooo many beautiful things to enjoy if you like kawaii stationary, that choosing is a bit difficult sometimes! Choice is made much easier when you have a clear use intended for the new stationary items you want to purchase, like a specific crafting project, or when you are buying stationary for collection purposes. Taylor Anne has made a pretty and informative video for her Youtube channel, where she delightedly shows some cute stationary products recently acquired from our kawaii shop. We now send a big thank you her way 🙂
What we most like about her video is that it gives valuable information in a natural and agile way, and really practical tips to inspire other craft-loving viewers. She makes close-ups of every item, minutely goes through the kawaii animal letter set, gives a clear view of cute sticker sets (adorable photos and sushi-themed), and manipulates each deco washi tape so that you get a good grasp of how they feel like in your hands!
Her video makes clear her delight (“cuuute” can be heard a few times), and that she had a crafting project in mind for these items. After carefully showing off our Japanese stationery, she flips through her partly decorated journal, so that you can see how the new items look in their place. We think this is a great way to inspire other crafters and stationary lovers! Do you have a decorated journal? Would you like to craft one? Check the pictures we have added below to boost your inspiration!

Today we bring to our blog the lovely minute paper artwork of the talented stationary lover, Caroline! As you can see on her Instagram page, she uses lots of different scrapbooking supplies and other stationary items to create decorated pages for her journals, in a super cute style. She recently added to her Instagram some pictures of our kawaii stickers and cute stamps, showing a close-up of how she is using them to create unique pages that look really adorable.
We are pretty sure that many of you will want to start making your own journal when you see the huge possibilities of this type of craft! It combines old artistic techniques like collage, lettering and drawing to create an illustrated narrative, greatly focused on the visual and aesthetic result. It is a delightful hobby that, as most crafts, has very positive effects on mood and general well-being!
Take a look at the images below, where you will also find some other especially tiny stationary products, available on our kawaii shop, that would suit such crafty projects. There are endless possibilities, as you can choose zillions of different materials and elements: stickers, stamps, photos, decorative tapes, etc. Add your own drawings and letters, made with your favorite pencils or pens, and mix everything in any way you can think of: it’s a lot of fun!! You will have to keep trying in order to find your own personal style, but that is just fine!
What a gorgeous display!
We love the creativity involved!
