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.

Paper Plate Crown

Crown made from paper plates—perfect for birthday parties and school plays!

Paper Plate Crown

If you use a paper plate as the base for a crown, there’s no risk of messing up when shaping it into a circle! Of course, you can make it the same way with construction paper cut into a circle.

First, make cuts in the center of the paper plate as if slicing a cake into eight pieces, and paint the whole thing.

Finally, lift and fold up the cut sections, and glue felt balls to the tips of the triangles.

Your crown is complete—and it’ll make the birthday star stand out perfectly! Since all you need is a paper plate you’d use for the party, you can whip one up quickly even if you realize on the day, “I forgot to prep the crown!”
