Accompanist / Piano Instructoryuri
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.

[Nursery & Kindergarten] 5 Paper Plate Christmas Wreath Crafts [From 100-Yen Shops]

Bill of exchange lease

This is a wreath made by attaching construction paper with handprint stamps to a paper plate and shaping it like leaves.

It’s important to layer the handprints and decorations thoroughly so that you can hardly tell they’re handprints unless you look closely.

Be intentional with the colors of the decorations to create a fun Christmas atmosphere.

A classic color scheme that conveys a leafy feel is green handprints on green construction paper, but it could be interesting to change up the color combinations to give the wreath a different look.

[Demo!] Super Easy! How to Make a Full, Fresh Green Wreath

raw lease

Do you think making a fresh wreath seems like a hassle and too difficult? In fact, anyone can make one easily and enjoyably—it’s cost-effective and, above all, stylish! You can even get a wreath base at a 100-yen shop, which makes it super convenient.

Prepare fresh cedar or cypress foliage, and use jute twine soaked in water to secure the fresh leaves to the wreath base.

If you only use the tips of the plants, the wreath can lose depth, so the trick is to also use the base of the foliage to add movement.

Finish with a few pinecones, and you’ll have a natural, full-looking wreath!
