Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked for 10 years as a kindergarten teacher and for 7 years as an after-school childcare instructor, then took a post as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I also engaged in activities that shared Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational play, working with many children. Afterwards, through freelance writing, planning, and editing work at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and conveying ideas. Leveraging the perspective cultivated in educational settings and my experience as an editor, I aim to deliver practical information—focusing on fields related to music and children—that values both input and output. Hobbies include instruments, singing, handcrafts, toys, drawing, traditional play, the outdoors, books, DIY, and crafts. Special skill: spinning-top tricks.

I’m at the age where summer festivals are starting to feel tough physically. I sometimes try shooting live photos and videos for MVs. I’m not great at English, so I often listen to straightforward Japanese rock that hits directly, but if someone recommends something, I’ll listen to anything—Western or Japanese—broadly and casually. I like cooking while listening to music; it’s a nice way to relieve stress.

Make clothes out of Disney bags

Disney bags have such cute designs, don’t they? A lot of people probably can’t bring themselves to throw them away after using them.

Here’s an idea for turning those bags into clothing.

By combining the bags with fabric, lace, and other materials, you can create an outfit that’s much more polished than you might imagine.

A fluffy, Minnie-like, adorable costume will make anyone—from kids to adult women—want to wear it to Disney.

Try making one with your favorite bag design!

Mickey balloon art hat

[Mickey & Minnie Hats] Balloon Art

Mickey balloon art hat

You can make a Mickey hat with balloon art.

First, inflate two black balloons into round shapes.

Next, make a long balloon and wrap it around the round balloons.

Once you create the part that attaches to the head, it’s complete.

For Minnie, add a bow to it.

When handling balloons, techniques like kneading them to soften are necessary, so check a video to learn those techniques and avoid popping them.

Since few people make wearable items with balloon art, you might attract some attention.

Mickey costume from Club Mouse Beat

@ruri171630
I made a Mickey costume from Club Mouse Beat for D-Hallo. Posting this late. I also made a Donald costume from Club Mouse Beat, and when my two daughters went to meet Mickey and Donald, both of them noticed! I’m so happy ❤︎#dHaroCostume2023 #HalloweenCostume Club Mouse Beat #Club Mouse Beat Mickey #ClubMouseBeatDonald #HandmadeCostume
♬ Club Mouse Beat – Single Version – Tokyo Disneyland

It’s the costume Mickey wore in Tokyo Disneyland’s entertainment program “Club Mouse Beat.” The stylish suit is predominantly white, accented with sleek black and purple lines that really stand out.

The inside of the suit appears to be sequins or a similarly sparkly material that would reflect the lights.

Add a white hat, and you could completely become Mickey.

This person seems to have made everything by hand, but if you buy a white suit and customize it, you could probably finish it easily.

Handmade headband from a 100-yen shop

@lovecraft.jp
I made Minnie Mouse-style headband ears! ✨ You only need five materials (a headband, a corsage, a ribbon, a scrunchie, and fabric), and you can get them all at a 100-yen shop!Translation All from the 100-yen shop #100-yen-shop Handmade #disney #tiktok classroom #Tokyo Disneyland #Tokyo DisneySea #Minnie
♪ Mickey Mouse March – from 'The Mickey Mouse Club' – Yuko Mifune (piano)

If you wear a pair of uniquely original Mickey ear headbands, you’re sure to turn heads at the theme park and make lasting memories.

This idea is inspired by Minnie, but you can easily adapt it into a Mickey version by sticking to chic, subdued colors.

The best part is that there’s no sewing at all—just gluing everything together.

Use a simple store-bought headband for the base, and lightweight cork coasters for the ears.

Once the base is assembled, decorate it with lace, rhinestones, scrunchies, and more.

Mickey ear headband with a Christmas design

https://www.tiktok.com/@mmhiromi7/video/7439221767165562119

Let’s customize a store-bought headband to make Mickey ears.

This one features a Christmas design, embellished with a party hat, faux fur, and rhinestones for a festive finish.

The design is up to you—try using classic Christmas colors, a blue palette that evokes snow, and play around with the placement of decorations to create a cute headband that reflects your style.

To keep the look cohesive, we recommend wrapping the base headband with fabric.

Cost-effective Disney costume

https://www.tiktok.com/@_sorabox_/video/7310095582192864530

It’s the outfit worn by the dancer in “Jamboree Mickey! Let’s Dance!” The key features are a skirt with blue stripes and a red T-shirt with a white vest.

Everything except the T-shirt is handmade, but you could probably find similar items ready-made.

If you go with store-bought pieces, adding the distinctive red, white, and black stripes and attaching a Mickey patch to the chest of the vest should make it look authentic.

If you wear a three-quarter sleeve or long-sleeve inner layer, it should be wearable in all but the depths of winter.

Handmade Mickey cap

If you want an easy way to add a touch of Mickey, a hat is a great choice.

Here’s an idea: attach Mickey ears to a store-bought hat and use a paint marker like Posca to write a name or logo.

Washing might be tricky, but because the hat itself is simple, your customizations can really show your personality.

Hats are also useful on hot days for shade and heatstroke prevention, so they can be a fun and safe item that fits the theme park vibe.

Add a ribbon and you can turn it into Minnie, too.

Mickey costume from Steamboat Willie

Speaking of Mickey from Steamboat Willie, he wears white shorts, a black T-shirt, and a black, white, and gray striped scarf.

It looks like the T-shirt and scarf can be prepared as ready-made items, so here we’re only making the white shorts by hand.

You just sew the body pieces together, so anyone who can use a sewing machine should be able to make them easily.

Once you’ve got the outfit on, put on a headband with Mickey ears to transform into Mickey! If you have time, you could also handmake the scarf.

Handmade Mickey Halloween hat

Handmade Mickey Halloween hat

When it comes to easy-to-wear costumes, a hat might be the best choice.

This is a Mickey Halloween hat made using a clear file folder and construction paper.

Cut the clear file to create the base of the hat, then make Mickey’s ears and decorations from orange and black construction paper and attach them.

Once you’ve finished decorating, roll it into a cone and adjust it to fit your head size.

As a cone-shaped hat, it looks festive, and since it uses a clear file, it’s reasonably durable too.
