Creating a Name Plate and a Good Luck Toran from waste materials begins with gathering reusable items like cardboard, fabric scraps, and beads. For the name plate, the base is cut from cardboard, decorated with paint etc. The Good Luck Toran is crafted by stringing together fabric pieces, old jewelry, and colorful beads, arranging them into a decorative pattern. Both pieces are then assembled and finished with a strong backing or hooks, ready to be displayed as a decor.
