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!”

Hair accessory with tsumami-zaiku made from ribbon

[Let’s Make] ~Wagokoro~ Ribbon Tsumami-Zaiku Hair Ornament

Hair accessory with tsumami-zaiku made from ribbon

When it comes to tsumami-zaiku, people often think of chirimen crepe fabric, but this idea uses ribbon.

Make petal pieces by folding the ribbon into ken-tsumami points, cut them in half, then adhere them to a fabric-covered foam ball to form a flower.

Prepare additional parts like bundled ribbons, mizuhiki tied into a bow, and gold picks, and finish by attaching everything to a comb with the flower as the centerpiece for a balanced look.

Try varying the colors and components to create your own original hair accessory.

About how to make the hair accessories that I got a lot of questions about last year and the year before. You can try it easily for about 300 yen, so please give it a go! This time it’s just the leaves, but I hope the method alone can be helpful. 🪐💭Coming-of-Age Ceremony #ComingOfAgeCeremonyHair #ComingOfAgeCeremonyHairstyle

Gold accents are luxurious and glamorous, aren’t they? Many people may be thinking of incorporating them into their Coming-of-Age Day accessories.

So this time, we’re introducing a floral hair ornament made in a gold color.

All you need are artificial flowers (available at 100-yen shops), U-pins, and lacquer spray.

First, detach the flower heads from the artificial flowers and insert the U-pins.

Stick them upright into cardboard or something similar, and spray to dye the entire piece gold.

It’s easy to make, so be sure to add it as a stylish accent to your hair accessories.

Some people wear antique-style furisode kimonos for their Coming-of-Age Ceremony, right? In that case, wouldn’t you want your hair accessory to look antique as well? Here we introduce a hair accessory that incorporates lace and pearls.

Attach wire to a ribbon to create the base, then stick on your choice of flowers, lace, and pearls.

Start by attaching a large flower as the main focal point, then fill in the gaps with smaller flowers.

Once the decorative design is complete, attach a clip fitting to the back to finish.

Hair accessory made with net tulle

[Easy] Making hair accessories with net tulle – Hair accessories for Coming-of-Age ceremonies and graduation ceremonies

Hair accessory made with net tulle

Let’s make a simple hair accessory using net tulle.

You can choose any size you like, but this idea introduces two sizes: 10 cm × 14 cm and 14 cm × 18 cm.

First, place the tulle horizontally and accordion-fold the left and right sides, then fold it into thirds.

While keeping that shape, fold up the bottom edge and fold it in half to form a V shape.

From there, accordion-fold the left and right sides again and tie the base with wire.

Adjust the shape, and your accessory is complete!

Beaded ball hairpin

I tried making a floral beaded ball hairpin (kanzashi).

Beaded ball hairpin

We don’t often use hairpins in everyday life, but they’re something you want to wear with traditional Japanese attire, aren’t they? So why not try making your own original hairpin using beads? With this idea, you can create a ball-shaped piece called “flower weave.” First, thread five tiny beads and tie them to form a flower shape.

Then, thread larger beads and stitch them around the flower.

The process is repetitive, so as long as you follow the steps carefully, even beginners to beadwork can give it a try.

Design yours to match the color of your kimono.
