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!”

flower wreath

A flower wreath you can hang on the wall and admire anytime.

It’s perfect as a handmade Mother’s Day gift, too! If you’re giving it for Mother’s Day, I recommend a carnation wreath.

You can make it using artificial carnations from the dollar store: bend the stems with scissors or nippers and secure each piece with cable ties.

Any round, voluminous flowers will work, not just carnations.

You can also customize it by mixing in greenery or adding a ribbon.

Resin bookmark

Introducing a resin bookmark with a fresh, crystal-clear look.

Prepare resin liquid, a mold for pouring the resin, flower chips and sparkly beads, and a ribbon if you like.

Pour the resin into the mold.

When choosing the mold, it helps to imagine the bookmark’s shape and the size you want to make.

Add flower chips and the like to the poured resin and let it cure.

Pressed flowers or beads you love would also look adorable.

Once the resin bookmark has hardened, make a hole and thread a ribbon through it if you like—that’s it! It also makes a great gift for someone special.

[2-year-old class] Crinkle-Crinkle Bouquet

How about making a bouquet using tissue paper, which is thinner and softer than origami paper? Create a base with a circle of thick paper and a slightly smaller patterned paper in a matching color.

Put double-sided tape on it, then stick on crumpled tissue paper pieces.

Attach a green chenille stem for the stalk, fold both sides of the base inward, and you’ve got a lovely bouquet! One of the charms of tissue paper is that it unintentionally forms flowers in all sorts of shapes.

For Mother’s Day, give a one-of-a-kind bouquet.
