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.

Ribbon wreath

Christmas ribbon wreath: a plump ribbon wreath, 26 cm in diameter, made with lots of ribbons.

Ribbon wreath

This is a voluminous wreath that uses plenty of ribbon.

Prepare about 50 ribbons, each 5 cm wide and approximately 30 cm long.

Bring both ends of a ribbon to the front and cross them, then align that center with the center of the ribbon loop and secure with wire.

Using a glue gun, attach each finished ribbon to the wreath base from the inside, working your way around.

Adjust the angles as you go to balance the design and create volume.

Once all gaps are filled, fluff and arrange the surface ribbons so they look plump, and you’re done!

Three-dimensional wreath made of drawing paper

[Childcare] Just cut and paste! 3D wreath [Christmas craft]

Three-dimensional wreath made of drawing paper

This is an easy Christmas wreath you can make by simply attaching cut construction paper to a paper plate.

First, cut out the center of the paper plate.

Since you’ll need to use a craft knife for this step, an adult should handle it.

Next, cut colored construction paper into long, thin strips.

Light green and green work well.

Apply glue to one half of each strip and attach them around the rim of the plate, sandwiching the edge as you go.

Once you’ve gone all the way around, trim the corners of the paper strips diagonally.

Glue small pom-poms all over for decoration, and add a ribbon with double-sided tape to make it pop.

Tie on some jute twine, and your cute Christmas wreath is complete!

Easy wreath made with artificial flowers

[100-Yen Store Wreath] Chic and cute poinsettia Christmas wreath | Mini tree | Autumn/Winter | Home decor accessories

Easy wreath made with artificial flowers

Even if you want to incorporate plants into decorations like wreaths, fresh flowers can be tricky to manage and to choose colors for.

In such cases, artificial flowers are recommended.

They last a long time and can feature vivid colors, which is another advantage.

If you decorate by weaving artificial flowers into a vine-crafted wreath base, you can achieve a natural-looking finish—that’s part of the appeal.

Even with artificial flowers, it’s important to choose ones that match the season; using poinsettias and holly, for example, conveys a Christmas feel.

It could also be fun to spray white onto red and green artificial flowers to create an arrangement that looks like freshly fallen snow.
