The collaboration between the anime "Oshi no Ko" and the popular Alfort chocolate didn't just spark a collecting frenzy among fans; recently, a Japanese DIY guru took the packaging to the next level, transforming it into one-of-a-kind keychains! The creative hack has gone viral, with countless netizens hitting like and sharing, exclaiming, "This is absolutely perfect for Oshi fans!"
This brilliant idea comes from the YouTube channel "Yurutto Kousaku-chan," known for its easy-to-follow and super practical DIY tutorials for Oshi-related merch. The channel previously blew up for showing how to make collectible card keychains using 100-yen store materials. This time, they're using the individual "Oshi no Ko" collaboration chocolate wrappers to craft adorable and totally personalized charm accessories.
In the video, the creator gives a detailed, step-by-step breakdown: First, cut open the packaging and clean it thoroughly. Next, use double-sided tape to stick the wrapper onto a trimmed soft card case. Roll it into a cylinder, then use a hair straightener to heat-seal the ends. You can even add glitter or small beads inside for a fun visual and auditory effect! Finally, punch a hole, attach a rivet and a chain, and voilà—you've got a unique Oshi keychain!
The video was an instant hit, sparking a flurry of comments from fans: "This gives it such a unique vibe," "It's a god-tier transformation," "Now I can't bear to throw away the packaging!" and "I totally want to make one for my Oshi!" Others were amazed, praising, "It's incredible what kind of quality you can achieve with 100-yen store materials!"
Beyond YouTube, "Yurutto Kousaku-chan" actively shares more DIY Oshi merch videos on Instagram, attracting a huge following of anime enthusiasts and craft lovers. This wave of DIY creativity, blending collecting, upcycling, and personal flair, is quietly spreading like wildfire through fandoms.
