Recent reviews of Make a Christmas Tree Using Japanese Techniques

  • 5/5 from Jody Clooney, attended Oct 2022: Such a cute class. Took some time to create but the instructions were clear and the result was rewarding.
  • 5/5 from Deirdre Riordan, attended Oct 2021: Probably the most comprehensive instructions I’ve ever followed. I loved that this tiny tree takes time and patience to produce and is therefore a very special gift or addition to your own festive season decorations. I’m sure my second attempt will be neater but no less fun to make. Thank you Nozomi Sakurai for for your gentle incursion into my life. Your calm voice and astonishing skills made this venture highly enjoyable. Just working on tree decorations now.
  • 5/5 from Jamie Camamile, attended Sep 2021: Decided to give this a try one afternoon and it was great. The video instructions are really easy to follow and you can pause throughout to make sure you are not rushed when doing it for the first time. I am so happy with my little Christmas tree and plan to make more of them for family this year.
