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!”

Mini Christmas tree

[100-Yen Store DIY] Easy Handmade Mini Christmas Tree Tutorial [Decoration DIY] Handmade

Mini Christmas tree

Enhance your indoor festivity with a small Christmas tree.

You’ll create the tree by decorating a triangular base known as a “tree base.” Prepare green chenille stems (pipe cleaners) to evoke the tree’s foliage and attach them so that they cover the base, forming the foundation.

Then shape the pipe cleaners and decorate with ribbons and ornaments to complete your mini tree.

It’s fun that you can show your individuality through how you arrange the pipe cleaners and the decorations you add.

lampshade

Perfect for Christmas! Here’s a super easy way to make a lampshade.

You’ll need black A4 cardstock, tissue paper, a needle, glue, and an LED light.

First, fold the cardstock into an isosceles triangle.

While it’s still folded, cut out patterns—circles, straight lines—have fun and see what it looks like when you unfold it.

Use a needle to poke holes, then open it up, attach tissue paper, and form a square pyramid.

Finally, place an LED light inside, and your lovely lampshade is complete.

Try different colors to create a magical, dreamlike atmosphere.

Pinecone Tree

[DIY] A Christmas Tree Made with Pine Cones Using Only DAISO Items ♡ / Pinecone Christmas Tree

Pinecone Tree

This is a Christmas tree made by combining pine cones.

You can adjust the size to suit where you’ll display it, and it creates a different kind of three-dimensional look compared to a fir tree.

First, stack and secure the pine cones; once the large triangle is complete, decorate it as the base of the tree.

Since pine cones are brown and give the impression of the tree’s trunk/wood, it’s recommended to use green decorations to represent leaves and red ones to represent berries.

Pine cones have distinctive gaps, so another advantage is that you can tuck decorations into those spaces.

Snowman made of towels

How to make a towel snowman ⛄️ snowman

Snowman made of towels

This is a soft and cute snowman mascot made using a white towel as the base.

First, roll the towel into a tube and tie a ribbon around the middle like a scarf to create a two-tiered snowman base.

After that, just attach parts like the hat and facial features.

For the hat, it’s easy to cut a sock and add a pom-pom.

Show your originality by choosing the hat color and selecting decorations to create the expression.

Since the tube serves as the base, the snowman can stand on its own; for extra stability, it’s also recommended to attach a round piece of cut cardboard to the bottom.

Advent calendar

All the materials are from the 100-yen shop! Easy advent calendar DIY — Let’s make an advent calendar

Advent calendar

An advent calendar is used to count down the days to Christmas one by one.

Because you get treats like sweets or small toys every day, you can enjoy the passage of time while also building excitement for Christmas.

As long as you have dates written out and boxes or bags to hold the goodies, you can make one yourself.

Just stick the date labels onto paper bags, put the treats inside, and then line them up—that’s all it takes.

How you arrange the dates and how you decorate the surroundings may be important elements for heightening the festive mood as Christmas approaches.

Christmas garland

[How to Make a Christmas Garland] Let’s create a garland with cute Santa illustration materials!

Christmas garland

Garlands that connect various motifs with string are especially appealing because they combine festivity with ease.

By choosing the motifs creatively, they can be used as decorations in any season.

For Christmas, there are clear symbols like Santa Claus and Christmas trees, so simply linking those illustrations with string creates a vibrant decoration.

You can also play with the string itself—use red and green Christmas colors, or wrap holly leaves around it—to make the details more fun.

From simple versions to richly embellished ones, there are countless ways to arrange and enjoy this type of decoration.

Christmas boots

[100-Yen Christmas DIY] Christmas Boots Made from a Paper Carton

Christmas boots

Speaking of Christmas, it’s the day when you eagerly look forward to presents from Santa, isn’t it? Besides stockings, boots are also a classic item for holding those gifts.

How about making small boots that can be used as candy holders to bring out the Christmas atmosphere? They’re easy to make by simply combining two juice cartons.

Open the cartons, attach felt or other materials to add color, then return them to their original shape and join them in an L-shape to form the boot.

The key points are how you create the rounded toe and add the finer decorations.
