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!”

[Tissue Paper Craft] Easy with Flower Paper! How to Make a Bouquet [Ashitaba Channel]

bouquet

Flowers are a handy item that instantly brighten up any setting! That said, fresh flowers can be hard on the budget, and artificial flowers can be a hassle to store afterward.

In times like these, why not quickly make a bouquet out of paper? For the flower part, simply accordion-fold tissue paper, secure the center, and fan it open.

Fix the flower to a straw or wire and wrap it like a bouquet, and you’ve got a handmade decoration that will make your table look luxurious! Another perk of paper bouquets is that, unlike fresh flowers, you don’t have to worry about timing the delivery or maintaining them.

congratulatory flower wreath

Let's make a mini wreath! Perfect for celebrations! Using materials from Daiso (the 100-yen shop), it's easy to decorate and highly recommended.

congratulatory flower wreath

Wreaths adorned with congratulatory messages are a glamorous decoration that also evokes the image of a grand opening celebration.

How about recreating such a wreath in a smaller size to add festivity to your celebration? For the floral base, attach a piece of foam to a round-cut cardboard disc, thread wire through it so it can be assembled later, and then cover it with flowers.

Create the message by using cardboard as a base and decorating it with ribbon, then attach this and the flower piece to a stand to complete it.

Choose the colors of the stand and the message to match the flowers, and experiment with combinations that look the most vibrant.

[100-Yen DIY] Making Stained Glass with Glass Paint ✨ [Yukkuri]

stained glass style

You can make this with 100-yen glass paint! Here’s a stained-glass-style decoration that’s perfect for farewell party decor.

First, take apart a wooden frame and sketch your design on the back of a sheet of paper.

Fix the included clear sheet over the sketch with masking tape.

Using glass paint pens, start by drawing the outlines with the white pen.

If any paint goes over the lines, remove it with a toothpick or cotton swab.

Then fill in the areas with pastel colors, following the sketch.

Next, prep the photo frame by painting it with acrylic paint.

Finally, add a layer of clear resin—and you’re done! It’s a great project to make together with everyone as you prepare for the farewell party.

balloon arch

How to make a cute balloon arch♪

balloon arch

How about making a balloon arch for the guest of honor to walk through at the farewell party? If you line up the bases of the inflated balloons and shape them into an arch, you can create an arch even without supports.

That said, tying balloons together can be pretty nerve‑racking.

If making it with just balloons is tricky, prepare separate supports and attach the balloons one by one—that way, you can make it more easily without the fear of popping.

To keep the entrance from standing out awkwardly, it’s also a good idea to decorate other areas of the venue with balloon art to give the whole space a cohesive look!

[How to Make Simple Ribbons] Basics and 5 Arrangements [Handmade] [How to make ribbons.]

ribbon

Ribbons are a recommended motif that can brighten up a farewell party venue! With a simple method—cutting a long ribbon, looping it into a ring, and gathering the center—you can easily make them without using a needle and thread.

Ribbon decorations are also great because they pair well with other items: match them with table flowers, adorn a wreath, or tie them to a microphone.

There are many patterns for both how to make them and their shapes, so why not start by trying an easy one first?
