Adult crafts recommended for spring

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!”

A person from the melodic hardcore boom generation who loves music, photography, and eating. I’ve been going to live houses for over 20 years. I’m at the age where summer festivals are starting to feel tough physically. I sometimes try shooting live photos and videos for MVs. I’m not great at English, so I often listen to straightforward Japanese rock that hits directly, but if someone recommends something, I’ll listen to anything—Western or Japanese—broadly and casually. I like cooking while listening to music; it’s a nice way to relieve stress.

kabuto decoration

Easy with just a few folds! Adult samurai-helmet decoration [Craft Activity] [Dollar Store DIY] [Spring Craft] #100YenShop #DAISO #DIY #Recreation #EasyCraft #DayService #Craft #Seniors #May

kabuto decoration

How about making a kabuto (samurai helmet) decoration for Children’s Day on May 5? First, use Japanese-pattern origami paper to make a triangle, imagining the shape of a kabuto.

Next, use gold origami to create parts that stick out like a rhinoceros beetle’s horns, and attach them to the triangular origami.

Cut white origami into small triangles as well and stick one in the center of the kabuto.

Then, take a square sheet of construction paper that has been folded into a triangle once and opened back up, and glue one wooden stir stick along each of the four edges.

Attach the kabuto you just made in the center.

Finally, add a bow-tied string as decoration and attach another string for hanging on the wall, and it’s complete!

Cut the origami into a strip, place it in the laminating film, and laminate it.

Next, use the hole punch to make a hole for the ribbon, thread your favorite ribbon through, and you’re done! It’s also fun to use a cherry blossom–shaped hole punch on the origami.
