Recently I've been making otedama bags. It's like happy sacks, a small bag filled with beans. It can be used for juggling or to play a game which is similar to jacks. Otedama is a Japanese children's game, which uses 5 bags.

This is very easy to make and you can find any items around the house. Fill your bottle up with the things you like!
For me, I had the bottle and pills for decoration. I had hard strings in my craft box. So I thought it'll make a good birds nest.

I have to sit myself down and start something...
