Cute and eye-catching! Ideas for making wrist decorations for sports day

Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked for 10 years as a kindergarten teacher and for 7 years as an after-school childcare instructor, then took a post as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I also engaged in activities that shared Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational play, working with many children. Afterwards, through freelance writing, planning, and editing work at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and conveying ideas. Leveraging the perspective cultivated in educational settings and my experience as an editor, I aim to deliver practical information—focusing on fields related to music and children—that values both input and output. Hobbies include instruments, singing, handcrafts, toys, drawing, traditional play, the outdoors, books, DIY, and crafts. Special skill: spinning-top tricks.

Paracord is a nylon cord, officially called “parachute cord.” It was originally used for parachutes, but nowadays it’s used for a variety of purposes such as fashion and crafts.

Here, we’re introducing an idea for making a flower bracelet using paracord.

The finished piece may look intricate, but the braiding itself is simple, and because it’s repetitive, it’s friendly even for first-time makers.

Paracord comes in a wide range of colors, so pick your favorites and give it a try.

It’s cute enough to wear as an accessory even after the sports day is over!

Wristband made with tissue paper

[Preschool Teacher] You can also make wristbands for a parachute! How to make tissue paper flowers 🌸

Wristband made with tissue paper

These are wrist accessories made with tissue-paper flowers, a familiar sight in school sports day decorations.

They’re a classic item perfect for dance events at sports festivals.

First, cut thick paper (cardstock) to fit your child’s wrist.

Next, accordion-fold the tissue paper, tie the center with a pipe cleaner or similar, then fluff out the folds to make a flower.

You can attach several tissue-paper flowers to the cardstock, or just one large flower—feel free to get creative! Secure rubber bands to both ends of the cardstock and you’re done.

It would also look great to use different tissue-paper colors for each class or team.
