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!”

Shaka-Shaka Pen Stand

Transforming a plastic bottle! 🥰 #shorts #handmade #DIY #crafts

Shaka-Shaka Pen Stand

This is a pen stand with cute shaking beads and a rustling sound.

Prepare an empty plastic bottle with a smooth surface and no bumps.

Cut the plastic bottle and a kitchen paper roll to about the same length.

Apply double-sided tape to both ends of the kitchen paper roll and attach origami paper in your preferred colors or patterns.

Attach the kitchen paper roll to the plastic bottle, then pour beads into the gap between them.

For beads, we recommend using the contents of balloon fillers with foam beads, which are also sold at 100-yen shops.

To keep the beads from coming out of the gap, stick on small craft pom-poms, and you’re done.

When you shake the stand, the colorful beads sway and look beautiful.

Flower Handprint Art

One of a kind in the world… / Flower Handprint Art *The main text is in the comments #AtHomePlay #AtHomeTime #DIYCrafts #Handmade

Flower Handprint Art

This piece uses handprints as guides, adding decorations to their shapes so you can also get a sense of each hand’s size.

First, cut out the paper with the handprint, attach that handprint to the back of the item you want to decorate, and use it as a guide to embellish the front.

Your sense of style is tested by how you choose to express the handprint—such as decorating only the inside or outside, or focusing mainly on lines.

If you use transparent materials as the main element, you can make use of what shows through from behind and create a fresh, airy feel, which is also highly recommended.

Charm pouch

Perfect as a Mother’s Day gift too ☺️🎁🌸 #shorts #MothersDay #MothersDayPresent #MothersDayGift #Handmade #Homemade

Charm pouch

A charm pouch you can use to add a little customization to your everyday bag.

It’s easy to make even with an empty milk carton, so let’s give it a try.

After cutting the milk carton, peel off only the printed surface.

Once both sides are plain white board, pre-fold it into a bag shape.

Apply double-sided fabric tape to the milk carton and cut your fabric.

Punch holes in the flap that will be used for the snap, staple both ends to secure it, and attach the fabric using double-sided fabric tape for cloth.

Add lace to the edge of the flap and attach the snap to finish the bag.

Add a chain and clip it to your bag for a practical and stylish accessory.

Straw bead decoration

@user7787282157810
You can make it with straws! Mother’s Day gift craft The iron beads that kids love can be easily made with straws!! Display pieces are nice, but… when Mom uses something a child worked hard to make, it makes the child happy, and for Mom it becomes the best treasure. Materials • About 2 straws (wide diameter: about 1.2 cm) *Thick straws for tapioca/boba and smoothies are easier to use • Parchment paper • Construction paper (quarter of an 8-cut sheet) • Double-sided tape • Pen • Iron • Ironing board or quilted fabric (to protect the table from scorching) Optional… • Jute twine • Ribbon • Name tag made with a label maker Details • Set the iron to high heat. • Since it’s hard to fit the last straw piece in, lightly flatten the straw to insert it. • The video irons only the front, but ironing the back too makes it sturdier. • If you edge the perimeter with jute twine or chunky yarn, the straws are less likely to tip over. (Remove it before ironing.) *Try all sorts of shapes like circles, squares, stars, etc. Caution • Pieces can fly when cutting straws—be careful not to get them in your eyes. • Always use the iron together with an adult, or have an adult do it. If you tried making it, please let me know by DM. Show me everyone’s creations! Feel free to ask questions or leave a comment!!

You can also make Perler bead-style crafts, where you arrange small beads to fit a shape, using drinking straws.

Draw a heart or any shape you like on paper, then place double-sided tape over the drawing.

Cut straws into pieces about one centimeter long, and stick them onto the taped drawing.

The key is to attach the straws from the outside edge inward.

When you reach the center, flatten a piece and insert it.

Once everything is stuck down, cover it with parchment paper and iron it so the straw pieces fuse together.

With the heat, the straw beads will form a shape similar to what you drew on the paper.

Add a ribbon, and it makes a perfect little room decoration.

Simply attaching glass tiles to a 100-yen shop piggy bank set completely changes its look.

Beyond its usefulness as a piggy bank, it also serves as interior decor, making it something you’ll want to keep close for a long time.

It’s a Mother’s Day gift idea that delivers your feelings along with shared memories.

Let’s make a magical pop-up card for Mother’s Day with a clever mechanism.

Prepare your favorite Mother’s Day drawings or illustrations.

It’s great if you color the illustration yourself, too.

We’ll add a mechanism using a construction paper card case and a clear file.

Prepare a version of the illustration card with only part of it uncolored, and set it on the front of the card.

When you pull that card from the top of the case, a fully colored card will appear.

Your mom will be amazed by this mysterious card.

Add a message expressing your daily gratitude and present it to her.

Many people probably give carnations for Mother’s Day.

You can make lovely carnations using something as handy as toilet paper.

Stack several cut pieces of toilet paper to create the flower.

Use pink blush or eyeshadow to color the tips of the paper petals with a brush.

Make a backing with cardboard or thick paper, arrange the carnations, and add a string light or LED tape light to create a glowing bouquet.

With a few simple touches, you can craft a beautiful, light-up carnation bouquet—give it a try!
