[Sports Festival] Cute Deco Gun Ideas (11–20)

A striking finish! Here are some ideas for decorating toy guns.

Toy guns come in a wide variety of sizes, from ones that fit in the palm of your hand to larger ones that even adults need both hands to hold.

This time, let’s paint a toy gun white and decorate it in a cute style.

By adjusting the color, it should pair nicely with rhinestones, lace, and ribbons.

Adding a chain so you can sling it over your shoulder also makes it easy to carry.

Leopard-print decorated gun

Recommended for those who love bold designs! Here are some ideas for a leopard-print decorated toy gun.

The annual sports festival is a special event—don’t you want to go all out? This time, let’s make an impact with leopard print.

Looking at the posted photos, members of the Yellow Team are decorating a larger-sized toy gun with rhinestones and leopard-print materials.

It’s an idea that’s sure to draw attention with its daring design.

Definitely give it a try!

oshi-decorated gun

Make it in your oshi’s member color! Here are some ideas for decorating a gun.

Many of us have an oshi—an idol, artist, or a character from anime or games, right? This time, let’s try making a gun decorated in member colors.

Not only the gun’s main color, but also the colors of the parts you use can be finished in your oshi’s member color or in colors that symbolize them, which gives the whole piece a cohesive look.

Adding text or lettering could even make it useful for your fan activities.

Name-engraved decorated gun

It’s a classic idea, but how about making a deco gun with your own name on it? Classic, yes—but it ends up being the most original deco gun of all! To give it a matching vibe, choose the same spot for everyone’s name; it creates a unified look and looks cute when you line them up.

Everyone can decorate theirs with rhinestones in their favorite colors.

If balancing the letters is tricky, you can easily use rhinestone alphabet stickers!

Decorated gun with a message

When it comes to decoration, rhinestones are a must! But how about adding a message to part of it? Since it’s for a sports festival, including a team or class cheer like “Only [Team/Class Name] wins!” would really stand out if everyone joined in.

It would boost team spirit, too! You can handwrite the message with a permanent marker, but using sticker paper that you can print on to mass-produce stickers with your favorite phrases and have everyone stick them on sounds great as well.

oshi-decorated gun

For those who want to fully showcase their favorite idol even at the sports festival, there’s a straightforward idea: decorate your gear with them! Try decking out a toy gun or water gun with acrylic stands or plushies of your fave.

If it feels wasteful to stick your actual merch onto a gun, how about making something acrylic-stand-like to decorate instead? Print out images of your fave, laminate them, and stick them on—or make your own stickers.

That’s also highly recommended.

Deco Gun Megaphone

While it can’t be used to project your voice over a distance, if you just want to make an adorable-looking megaphone, why not try making a deco-gun megaphone? Take a bubble gun sold at 100-yen shops and wrap it with a clear file cut into a megaphone shape, then secure it in place.

After that, decorate it with things like party garlands and logo stickers, and you’re done! It’s easier to make than it looks, so find a bubble gun you like and give it a try.

If you adhere the clear file firmly, it’ll be secure when you carry it around.
