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.

Twig wreath

[Handmade with Kids] Easy! Christmas Wreath with Twigs 🎄 [December Craft]

Twig wreath

This twig wreath is a great handmade project to do with kids.

On a sunny winter day, you can collect twigs and enjoy making it together! First, arrange the twigs into a pentagon and secure the overlapping parts with chenille stems (pipe cleaners).

Next, decorate it with your favorite yarn or sparkly pipe cleaners to give it a Christmas feel.

Adding a ribbon or a pine cone at the top looks lovely, too! Finish by tying on a piece of fishing line for hanging, and it’s done.

It’s the perfect idea to make the most of children’s free and creative thinking!

Star-shaped wreath

This is a cute star-shaped wreath made by combining pieces of thick paper.

What you’ll need: thick paper, decorations, paint, glue, scissors, and so on.

First, prepare five long, narrow strips of thick paper and paint them your favorite colors.

Then assemble them into a star shape.

Using a one-stroke star as a reference can help build problem-solving skills, too! After that, add your favorite decorations like pom-poms and stickers to create your own original star.

It’s also fun to attach handmade origami!

Wreath made with straws

Mini Christmas wreath made with straws

Wreath made with straws

This is a small Christmas wreath made by combining three colors of straws.

The classic choice is to use three colors: green straws to represent foliage, and red and yellow straws—essential colors for Christmas decorations.

Use the red and yellow straws for embellishments: cut them into small pieces to create ribbons, flowers, and rings.

For the green straws, make small slits and then tie them together, shaping them into a ring.

Since you form the ring with a single straw, it’s important to focus on your handiwork.

A wreath made from toilet paper rolls

Christmas wreath with toilet paper rolls · Wreath (2) · Second edition!! · Transparent paper ❤︎ Paper roll craft/Christmas wreath ❤︎ #789

A wreath made from toilet paper rolls

A Christmas wreath made from an everyday material—the cardboard tube from a roll of toilet paper—has such a striking, festive look that you might forget what it’s made from.

Flatten the tube, cut it into even rings, paint them, and arrange them in a circle to form the base; it’s simple enough to enjoy as a craft project with children.

The way you flatten the tube dramatically changes the final shape, so you can create a variety of wreaths using the same method.

With different paint colors and decorations, it can shine beyond the Christmas season too—this is a wreath you’ll definitely want to try making.

Wreath made from fabric scraps

[With mask fabric scraps and dollar-store materials] Christmas wreath | DIY fabric Xmas wreath

Wreath made from fabric scraps

How about making a Christmas wreath using scraps from masks and wire or colored cord you can find at a 100-yen shop? First, use the wire to make a ring about 18 cm in diameter.

Next, wrap the colored cord around the wire again and again.

Tie the beginning and end together, then make another small loop and tie it to form a handle.

After that, tie on your favorite fabric scraps or ribbons over the cord.

Finally, round off the ends with scissors or adjust the length of the scraps.

Adding wire-made ribbons and other decorations will make the wreath even more festive.
