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!”

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.

Glue stick keychain

@salt_kosodate
The trick to not failing is… heat control!! 1) The cleanest finish is with a hot water bath (but it takes time to melt!). 2) If you have an oven, check after about 2 minutes at 200°C and reheat if needed! ↑ I don’t have one, so I couldn’t test this 🙏 3) If you have a toaster oven, start checking after 1 minute on the lowest setting. Doing 2 sets of 1 minute at 170°C will almost completely melt it! If you heat it all at once, bubbles will form, so I recommend low and slow! It’s definitely better to make one test piece rather than jumping straight into the real thing 🙌🏻 Also, even if you pack it full, the glue volume will shrink a lot once it melts, so add clear glue partway through and aim to fill it so it’s just shy of overflowing the mold—then it turns out nicely 😊 Materials: • Glue sticks — having clear as well as colored is GOOD • Mold • Glitter • Screw eye pins (heaton) • Ball chain • Backing card When an adult’s help is needed: • Glue sticks are hard, so have an adult do the cutting • Right after heating it’s very hot, so adults should be careful too! • Attaching the screw eye pins is a bit tough, so it’s good for an adult to handle 😊 Other than that, let the child take the lead and just watch over the parts they can do—it’ll be fine! Hope you make a wonderful gift 🌟 Cost breakdown (about 300 yen): • Clear glue sticks: ~50 yen (half a pack) • Colored glue sticks: ~40 yen (less than half a pack) • Screw eye pins: ~10 yen • Chains: 200 yen (2 packs) ← This is the pricey part 😂#AtHomePlay Educational work #Graduation from kindergarten　Handmade Present

[Welcome Space] [Interior] [Gift] How to Make a Flower Box | MAKER Bridal Cafe Handmade Video #21

flower box

Why not give a handmade present to someone special as a way to express your everyday gratitude? Store-bought items are of course fine, but a handmade gift could be a lovely option too.

Flowers are a classic gift, and it would be wonderful to give something a little different from the usual bouquet, like a flower box.

To make one, simply prepare a stylish box and decorate it with artificial flowers of your choice, using your own sense of style.

You can glue them in place to secure them.

Add a message to the box, and consider giving it on a special day.

gift box

Let’s make a gift box out of an empty tissue box! ~Let’s make a gift box with a tissue box!~

gift box

With just a little extra effort, an empty tissue box can be transformed into an adorable gift box.

All you need are a tissue box, your favorite beads, and two kinds of construction paper.

Draw guide lines on the tissue box, cut along them with scissors, and make creases.

Then simply fold along the guide lines to create a box that opens and closes.

Attach your chosen construction paper and decorate with beads, and it’s ready in no time.

Since it can be made easily with everyday materials, it’s great for use in elderly care facilities as a fine motor skills activity.

organizer box

Glasses, remote controls, pens, notepads—leave them where you used them and your table turns into a mess… sound familiar? If tidying up is a hassle and you think, “I’ll need it again soon anyway,” here’s an organizer box for you.

All you need is a single tissue box.

It’s easy to make: draw a line at the halfway point of the box, cut along the line on every side except the back, then fold it and secure it with double-sided tape.

That’s it—you’ve got a simple organizer that will tidy up your tabletop.

If you decorate it with origami paper or stickers to your taste, you might grow even more attached to it.
