I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

[Origami] Luxurious Star-Shaped Christmas Ornament

How to fold and make a sparkling, luxurious star-shaped Christmas ornament from a single sheet of origami paper – DIY Paper Star Ornament for Christmas Decor / Tutorial

[Origami] Luxurious Star-Shaped Christmas Ornament

When it comes to Christmas decorations like trees, star-shaped ornaments are a classic.

Let’s make a three-dimensional star-inspired ornament that really captures that Christmas mood using origami.

The key is the creases made vertically, horizontally, and diagonally; you’ll cut the sheet in half, connect the pieces, and form the shape from there.

By using the creases to create evenly spaced steps, you’ll connect them into a ring, snip it with scissors, then glue and shape it.

Since you’ll use a single sheet of origami paper, choose a festive, eye-catching pattern to create a luxurious-looking ornament.

[Felt] Poinsettia

[No-Sew] Easy Felt Poinsettia Tutorial / Christmas Ornament / DIY Felt Poinsettia

[Felt] Poinsettia

When it comes to Christmas decorations, poinsettias are a classic—a plant with vibrant Christmas colors.

Let’s make a soft-looking ornament by crafting a poinsettia out of felt.

Start by cutting a felt circle and making five evenly spaced slits, then cut those sections into petal shapes.

Next, use glue to pinch and shape the center.

Layer these petals with slightly larger petals and leaves underneath, and you’re done.

For a more dimensional finish, attach the petals and leaves so they lift up slightly.

Christmas tree candle

Christmas tree candle

A candle shaped like a Christmas tree—the flame at the top can even look like a shining star.

The process is simple: insert a candle wick into a tree-shaped mold and pour in the wax.

Use a trick like fixing the wick to a pair of chopsticks to keep it straight, and choose colors for the wax to make the tree look festive.

If you leave it at that, the tree will be a single color, so it’s also a great idea to add tree-like decorations using white-tinted wax or a candle decorating pen.

[100-yen Shop DIY] Fluffy Fur Christmas Wreath

[100-Yen DIY] How to Make a Fluffy Fur Christmas Wreath / Flower Material Cost: 1,400 yen

[100-yen Shop DIY] Fluffy Fur Christmas Wreath

This Christmas wreath uses fur to create a soft, fluffy look that feels both festive and warm.

The process is simple: wrap a fur tape around a grapevine base, and once you’ve covered about half, decorate the rest with artificial flowers and other accents.

The fur alone adds plenty of volume, so it’s best to layer additional decorations generously to achieve a dimensional finish.

Keep the overall color balance in mind and add embellishments that highlight the cozy warmth of the fur.

Advent calendar

[Easy] How to Make an Advent Calendar | Super Easy to Copy! A 2024 Advent Calendar to Enjoy Every Day Until Christmas | Handmade | DIY

Advent calendar

This is a tree-decorating style advent calendar that builds excitement as you wait for Christmas.

The countdown numbers are printed on house-shaped pouches, and each pouch is filled with a little treat, like candy.

You can hang them on a large tree, but it’s also great to make a simple tree by cutting cardboard into a tree shape and attaching yarn—then the countdown becomes the main feature on display.

The only fixed rule is that you get something in sync with the countdown, so the freedom to create it however you like is part of the charm.
