I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

Frankenstein

Frankenstein

When it comes to classic Halloween monsters, it’s got to be Frankenstein! The stitches on his forehead and the bolts sticking out of his body are his trademarks.

In this paper-cutting idea, we’ll use green origami paper to make Frankenstein’s face.

First, fold the origami paper in half and sketch Frankenstein’s face.

It’s easier to cut if you draw the parts on the larger side.

Try to draw features that enhance the eerie vibe, like droopy, sunken-looking eyes and a big nose.

A big spider

Here’s a simple paper-cutting idea for making a spider.

Fold a sheet of origami paper into a triangle three times, then draw six small triangles and one semicircle—prep done.

After that, just cut along the lines with scissors and you’ll end up with a big spider! You might wonder, “How do you get a spider without drawing one?” But the spider shape will clearly emerge within a diamond-shaped frame.

Spiders are a classic Halloween decoration, so try linking a few together to make a garland or use them as accents for wall decor.

Have fun putting them to use in different ways!

Ghost wreath

We’ll show you how to make a cute wreath of ghosts holding hands in a circle.

Fold a sheet of origami paper into a triangle, and repeat this step four times.

For the first three folds, fold the entire piece; on the fourth fold, only fold part of the paper toward the center.

Sketch a ghost design, then cut along the lines.

A tip: use a hole punch to cut out the eyes.

When you unfold the paper, your wreath will open up into a ring of ghosts.

The shadows it casts enhance the spooky vibe, making it a perfect item for Halloween.
