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.

The method is simple: lay candies on aurora (iridescent) wrapping paper, fold it over and secure with tape, then tie each candy with a ribbon.

Shape it into a ring like a wreath and tape it in place to finish.

Try adding ribbons or stickers to boost the Christmas vibe.

It could also be fun to prepare a variety of candies and have everyone make one together at a Christmas party.

Let’s try making a pinecone tree!

Christmas is just around the corner! Let’s try making a pinecone tree.

Let's try making a pinecone tree!

Here are some DIY Christmas decoration ideas using pine cones and acorns you can pick up on a walk.

Be sure to sterilize the pine cones and acorns in boiling water before using them.

Paint the pine cones in any colors you like, decorate them with beads, pom-poms, pipe cleaners, and ribbon flowers, then glue them onto a coaster to serve as the base.

Next, color the acorns with markers to make Santa and a reindeer.

For the reindeer’s antlers, cut them out of origami paper with scissors.

Glue Santa and the reindeer onto the base, fill any gaps with cotton, and you’re done!

Make it with origami! Pinecone wreath

[Craft Idea] Christmas Wreath with Origami Pine Cones (December Winter Christmas) (Wall Decoration) (Activities for Seniors, Day Service, Occupational Therapy, Childcare) (Origami DIY)

Make it with origami! Pinecone wreath

It’s an idea for a wreath made not with real pinecones, but with pinecones crafted from origami.

First, crumple the origami paper once to add wrinkles and texture.

Then cut it in half, glue the pieces so they form a wide rectangle, and fold it in half so the top and bottom edges overlap.

Make fine slits along the looped edge, then roll it up tightly to complete the pinecone.

Make the leaves and red berries from origami as well.

Finally, attach the leaves to a wreath base made from thick cardstock, and decorate it with the pinecones and red berries to finish.

Let me introduce a Christmas wreath you can make with an egg carton—perfect for the holiday season.

We’ll use a paper egg carton for this craft.

Separate each cup, snip slits into the four corners, and shape them into flowers.

Paint them red and add petals in the center.

Make the wreath base by cutting out the middle of a paper plate, then decorate it with the flowers along with leaves and other ornaments made from construction paper.

Finish with a ribbon, and it’s done.

Hang it up and enjoy how this cheerful wreath instantly brightens your room and brings the spirit of Christmas to life.

Wreath made with a 100-yen shop base and floral materials

[How to Make a Christmas Wreath] A Beautiful Handmade Creation Even for Beginners [Definitive Guide] Christmas Wreath Decoration

Wreath made with a 100-yen shop base and floral materials

Here’s a great idea for anyone who wants to make a truly authentic Christmas wreath.

Even though it looks professional, you’ll be using materials you can get at a dollar store, so it’s perfect for beginners trying their hand at crafts.

Start by wrapping floral materials around a ready-made wreath base from the dollar store.

The key point is the balance of white elements.

White tends to stand out more than red, which is a signature Christmas color, so keep white-toned materials to a minimum.

For the lower part of the wreath, add volume as you would with a typical wreath, and make sure to conceal any areas where you added extra wraps.

[Tissue Paper] Cute Christmas Wreath

Work No. 033 / Making a wreath with 1-year-olds [Handmade toys by a nursery teacher]

[Tissue Paper] Cute Christmas Wreath

This is a cute Christmas wreath made with tissue paper.

Tear the tissue paper, roll it into little balls, and pack them into a clear umbrella bag.

Tie the bag at intervals to form spheres and shape it into a wreath as you go.

Finish by decorating with round stickers or star-shaped stickers.

Using children’s handprints to make Santas or adding ribbons would also make it look lovely.

The actions of tearing paper, stuffing it, and placing stickers help develop fine motor skills, so give it a try!

Torn-paper wreath

[Craft] 3 Ways to Make Christmas Wreaths [Nursery/Kindergarten]

Torn-paper wreath

This is a paper plate wreath that you can freely decorate using tissue paper, origami paper, and construction paper.

You’ll need a paper plate, construction paper, tissue paper, origami paper, stickers, yarn, glue, a hole punch, and scissors.

First, cut out a circle from the center of the paper plate.

An easy way is to fold the plate slightly in half, make a small slit, and then cut out the middle.

Then decorate! You can cut the construction paper, origami paper, and tissue paper with scissors or tear them by hand for a nice effect.

Attach the pieces you’ve cut or crumpled, along with round stickers in green and red, star-shaped stickers, and so on.

Thread yarn through the hole at the top, and you’re done!
