Accompanist pianist × piano instructor × web writer. I began piano lessons at age four and, inspired by my piano teacher, decided to pursue music. I went on to specialized music programs in high school and university, where I discovered the appeal of accompanying instrumentalists and singers. Currently, alongside teaching piano, I work mainly in my home region of Aichi as an accompanist for flute, voice, choir, and more. Through lessons, my students often introduce me to trending songs, and my hobby is trying anything on the piano—Japanese and Western pop, commercial jingles, and beyond. Since 2021, I’ve also been active as a web writer, covering music and a variety of other genres.

How to Make a 3D Star Garland: Perfect for Halloween and Christmas Decorations!

By adding a three-dimensional effect, star-shaped ornaments instantly gain presence.

Start by cutting out a regular star shape using a template, draw fold lines from the center outward, and make mountain folds along those lines.

A ruler is handy, but you can substitute a backing board or something similar if you don’t have one.

Finally, punch holes and thread a string through.

The balance between the two holes is important.

Try making various shapes in a range of colors—not just gold and silver.

It’s very simple, so even children can make them easily!
