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!”

Next, arrange your favorite fruits on top, pour in juice mixed with dissolved gelatin, and refrigerate until set.

It looks stylish and will make you excited to dig in!

A magic card that changes its illustration when pulled from a pocket.

First, fold a sheet of white construction paper and secure it with tape.

The key here is to create two pockets.

Next, cut the card that will go into the pocket and a piece from a clear file folder, then attach them together.

Then draw your desired illustration on the card, and use a black pen to draw lines on the clear file as well.

Insert the card in the back and the clear file in the front, and you’re ready to go.

[Finished in 20 Minutes] How to Make a Gauze Handkerchief — No Ruler Needed!

gauze handkerchief

Let me introduce a perfect handkerchief for Mother’s Day.

Cut a sheet of copy paper into a square to make a pattern for the handkerchief.

Place the pattern on the fabric with the right sides facing inward, and trace the shape with a pencil.

Pin it in place, then sew with a sewing machine, leaving an opening for turning.

Trim around the edges with scissors, leaving the pencil-marked seam allowance, and turn the fabric right side out through the opening.

Fold the seam allowance at the opening to the inside to hold it in place.

Press the fabric with an iron to smooth it out, then topstitch around the edge about 2 mm from the seam to finish!

corsage

Super simple corsage, a Mother's Day present no. 304

corsage

How about handcrafting a glamorous corsage that instantly lifts your spirits? Some people might think corsages sound difficult to make, but this one uses store-bought faux flowers, so you can enjoy creating it in your favorite colors and design.

First, remove just the flower heads from faux flowers sold at 100-yen shops, and dye the petals with acrylic paint or tea.

Next, thread a safety pin through a piece of stiff fabric to prepare the base.

Then simply use a hot glue gun to layer and stick the petals onto the base, and you’re done.

Adding lace, tulle, or beads will make it even more stylish.

Try making one while imagining colors that would suit your mom.
