Items to make your sports day more fun! Ideas for eye-catching decorated tambourines (1–10)
Tambourine with corn cushion
Corn cushions are cushioning material used when wrapping gifts.
Lately, colorful heart-shaped ones are even sold at 100-yen shops and are super popular.
If you pack these corn cushions into a deco tambourine, it looks absolutely adorable! Among students, they’re practically a staple material for deco tambourines.
The cute shapes have a soft, fluffy texture and a whimsical look, so they might pair well with fur or lace around the tambourine.
You can also have fun by incorporating your name or your favorite character into the design.
Tambourine with party garland
If you just want to sparkle and stand out, we recommend party tinsel as a deco material.
Party tinsel is a classic party decoration, but if you cut it up, you can stick it onto various things and have fun with it! Of course, it pairs perfectly with a deco tambourine, too! It comes in lots of colors like red, blue, and green, so try decorating with your favorite color.
You could match with your friends, or choose colors inspired by your favorite character.
Tambourine with lace
If you want to make a dreamy-cute deco tambourine, lace is a highly recommended material.
The vibe changes dramatically depending on the type of lace: cotton lace gives a natural feel, while polyester creates a delicate look! You can find a variety of lace designs at 100-yen shops and craft stores, so try to find your favorite.
It’s also a good idea to choose lace that matches the main design you want for your deco tambourine.
Add some sparkling rhinestones or beads to boost the girly vibe even more.

Tambourine with an account inside
Introducing tambourines with account names that are sure to liven up any sports festival.
Print your name or account, stick it onto the drumhead, and decorate it cutely.
Using decorative stickers and lace ribbons will make it even cuter.
Add a chain or ribbon so you can wear it around your neck or wrist, and create your own original decorated tambourine.
To boost team unity, you could also stick printed photos of your teammates next to the account name.
Tambourine with feather rope
Let me introduce a visually striking tambourine with a feather rope.
Attach the feather rope around the rim of the tambourine.
On the back, write your team name and teammates’ names to unite your spirits.
It’s also recommended to create the feather rope in a gradient or in your team colors.
When you beat the tambourine, the feathers flutter softly, making for a fun and exciting sports festival.
Try adding a chain so you can wear it around your neck and cheer more easily.
Resin rabbit tambourine
Let me introduce a resin rabbit tambourine that’s perfect as a cheering item.
Decorate around the tambourine with sparkly deco stickers.
When applying the stickers, press them on firmly so they don’t peel off.
You can also enjoy changing up the look by using different colors.
Use a rabbit-shaped mold and make it with resin.
It’s also fun to try other animals like bears.
Adding color to the resin or including your team name for a stylish finish might help boost team spirit!
Costume image tambourine
We recommend this tambourine, inspired by a costume, for those who want to create something with a strong design flair.
By incorporating designs that reflect your sports festival outfits or class colors into the tambourine, your overall look will feel more cohesive and your team unity will grow.
If you decorate it with the same patterns or materials as your outfit, the tambourine itself will look like part of your fashion, doubling the cuteness! It’s an item that’s sure to become a memorable keepsake you’ll want to cherish even after the festival ends.
Use this as inspiration and pack in all your personal touches when you make yours!
