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!”

Clear, sparkly decoration

If you’re crafting with little kids, this is it ✨ Clear, sparkly decorations 🤍 #AtHomePlay #EasyCrafts #Handmade #shorts

Clear, sparkly decoration

A sparkling decoration with beautiful transparency.

For the clear decorations, use an unused clear file folder.

Shape the clear file into a circle and start decorating.

Stick on your favorite patterned masking tape or stickers, or draw illustrations with a pen.

Punch holes and connect them with ribbon or chenille stems to make a garland.

The cut edges of the clear file are soft, so people of a wide range of ages can make this.

These clear decorations that gently sway indoors are perfect for farewell parties.

Balloon garland

How to Make a Balloon Garland | Easy for Beginners Using 100-Yen Store Seria Items

Balloon garland

Having a balloon garland in a room creates a cute, charming vibe, doesn’t it? Still, some people might think, “Balloon garlands look tricky and hard to make.” If you make good use of 100-yen shop items that come as a set with balloons and balloon tape, you can put one together easily.

Inflate the balloons and tie off the ends to secure them.

Insert the tied end into the larger hole of the balloon tape, then slide it into the smaller hole to lock it in place.

Attach the balloons to the tape while balancing their sizes.

Seeing such an adorable balloon garland will surely lift the spirits of those being sent off.

Coloring flowers

[Simple ver.] I tried arranging the trending color-changing flower

Coloring flowers

It’s an idea where the ink dissolves in water and beautifully tints a white flower.

Cut kitchen paper into circles and draw a line with a water-based pen in the center.

Place each circular piece over the rim of a paper cup with the bottom cut out, and attach them as you layer them.

Make sure to layer them so that the lines drawn with the water-based pen align along the rim.

Once nothing is visible through the hole in the cup, you’re done! When you remove the kitchen paper from the cup, you’ll have a flower that looks like a rose.

There’s also a simple version where you draw lines on the kitchen paper first, then cut it, accordion-fold it, and open it up—be sure to check it out.

Perler beads are pipe-shaped beads that melt when heat is applied.

Using this property, you can also make pieces that hold their shape once fused.

Even without heat, you can make lovely decorations by putting beads into a shallow paper cup.

Attach stems and leaves made from construction paper to the cup.

Put your preferred Perler beads into the paper cup with glue inside.

Once it dries, it’s done.

It’s a simple method, but you can make cute flowers.

If you decorate an entire wall with Perler bead flowers, you can create a flower field indoors.

A farewell party with handmade flowers also conveys the warmth of the maker.

It’s a decoration that invites you to enjoy arranging how you display the finished pieces.

balloon topiary

Topiary is an art form where plants are trimmed into desired shapes.

Let’s try making an easy version using balloons! Put a ball of oil-based clay into a plastic bag, then place it inside a paper cup.

Attach two straws together and tape them to an inflated balloon to make a balloon stick.

Insert the straw end into the clay in the paper cup, then fill the cup with tissue paper flowers to cover the clay.

Drape tulle over the balloon, and near the inflation point attach a tissue-paper flower and a ribbon to finish! Make lots using different colors of tissue paper and ribbon, and decorate the venue with them.

Easy and cute! How to make flowers

Let’s make a cute flower-shaped wall decoration.

If you use a template, you can mass-produce them, and although they’re simple, the flowers turn out very cute.

First, prepare your template.

Create it so that its angle matches the angle you get when a circle is folded into thirds.

As long as the angle is correct, having a variety of sizes—both large and small—makes it even cuter.

On a round backing, attach petals cut symmetrically according to the template.

It’s simple, yet it has a hint of Scandinavian style and looks very charming.

Using a single color or multiple colors both work well.

Give it a try!

Reusable! Triangle Garland

A triangular garland that instantly brightens up a room when hung indoors.

Make it by cutting construction paper into triangles.

Punch two holes in each triangle and thread a string through them.

If threading is difficult, try wrapping tape around the end of the string to stiffen it—this makes it easier to pass through the holes.

Using colored construction paper or patterned paper like polka dots or stripes will make an adorable garland.

It’ll be perfect not only for graduation ceremonies but also for many other events.
