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.

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.

Torn-paper wreath

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

A wreath made from sweet potato vines

[Wreath Base] Let's Make a Wreath Using Sweet Potato Vines — Easy Handmade

A wreath made from sweet potato vines

Why not try making a natural-looking Christmas wreath using sweet potato vines? Even if you don’t have sweet potato vines, any climbing plant will work just as well.

First, form the vines into a ring to create the wreath base.

The key is to shape them before they dry out and to wrap the ring at least three layers thick.

Tuck the end between the vines and let it dry thoroughly to finish.

To enhance the Christmas vibe, consider decorating it with pinecones and acorns the kids collected.

By changing the decorations, you can also repurpose the wreath for a variety of occasions—not just Christmas, but Halloween, New Year’s, and more.
