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.

Four-fold wreath

For Christmas and New Year’s decorations: How to make a four-fold wreath.

Four-fold wreath

The four-fold wreath is a Christmas wreath idea that works well for occasions like Christmas and New Year’s.

A great feature of this wreath is that you can make it in various sizes by changing the length and width of the cord.

Adding decorative parts will also give it a more polished, authentic look.

As a size guide, the smallest version uses a wreath cord width of 130 cm with 36 rows of braiding, while the largest uses a cord width of about 520 cm with 54 rows of braiding.

Decide in advance what size you want to make and prepare a wreath that matches it!

Craft band wreath

[Craft Band New Year Wreath] “How to Easily Make a New Year’s Wreath” (Eco-craft—A rehabilitation therapist teaches craft-band basket bags, baskets, paper band, TetsuCraft)

Craft band wreath

If you enjoy handmade crafts, you may already know that you can make a variety of items using craft bands.

Craft bands are paper cords that were once used to tie the tops of rice bags, and lately more people have been using them to handmake bags, storage cases, and various decorations.

Craft band projects are created by weaving, and for wreaths, the “scale weave” method is recommended.

Once the wreath is finished, just add your favorite decorations and it’s complete.

Use red and green for Christmas, or red and white for New Year’s to make the perfect seasonal piece.

It’s also fun to make them in different color schemes to match each season.

Let’s make a poinsettia wreath using a paper plate.

Cut out a circle from the center and use the outer ring as the wreath.

Then, attach poinsettias made from origami paper to create a Christmas wreath.

If you make leaves in various sizes and arrange them so they spread out from the base, it will look more realistic.

Don’t forget the yellow center, either.

You can also make wreaths for different seasons by attaching seasonal flowers, not just for Christmas.

On a chilly day at home, enjoy this craft with your child for some cozy parent–child time.
