[Handmade] Gift ideas (1–10) to give to someone important who is retiring from their club activities
Acrylic block
Acrylic blocks are very popular as items for supporting your favorites, and you can actually find them at 100-yen shops too.
In this idea, you create an original acrylic block by sandwiching a printed photo between two acrylic blocks.
It’s easy—just secure the sides with removable masking tape—and you can peel it off anytime to swap out the photo effortlessly.
Using two acrylic blocks adds thickness, making it more stable and able to stand on its own, which is a nice bonus.
Be sure to try making one with a memorable photo.
Surprise Letter
If you want to deliver a surprise message to someone special who’s retiring from their club activities, a surprise letter is highly recommended! Unlike a regular letter, it’s packed with clever tricks that will really wow them.
Make it by hand and move that special person with your thoughtfulness.
For example, how about using heartfelt heart motifs? Even just combining a few simple mechanisms can create a gorgeous finish! You can tuck messages inside or cut treasured photos into heart shapes and arrange them—both are lovely ideas.
balloon bouquet
When you hear the word “bouquet,” most people probably think of flowers, but this one is a bouquet made with balloons.
If you go to a 100-yen shop, you’ll find balloons in all kinds of shapes and designs.
Combine them like a floral arrangement and finish by wrapping them in your favorite wrapping paper.
It’s also cute to mix in artificial flowers or incorporate small figurines.
For the stems, balloon sticks are recommended.
Since you can get all the materials at a 100-yen shop, the low cost is another big plus.
[Handmade] Gift ideas (11–20) for someone special who is retiring from their club activities
snack bag
Snacks make perfect little gifts.
But if you’re going to give them, why not get creative? That’s where a candy bag comes in! Gather your favorite treats and use OPP tape to connect them into a tote bag or a shoulder bag.
You can use larger snack packs, but linking several smaller ones makes the bag’s design livelier—highly recommended.
For the strap, use individually wrapped candies, like hard candy wrappers.
It’s best to avoid snacks that are easily crushed.
Album
Why not give an album that captures all the memories from the club activities you’ve worked so hard at? Create pages that match the vibe of each club and send a warm message to someone special.
For example, if it’s the volleyball club, you could lay out meaningful items like the uniform, ball, and net.
You could also add pockets to tuck in messages, or stylishly finish it with a collage of game scenes and group photos.
Popup card
Let’s make a stylish pop-up card.
Take a rectangular sheet of cardstock, cut it to size, accordion-fold it, and punch two holes in the center.
After attaching photos and writing your message, layer another accordion-folded, hole-punched sheet behind it, thread a ribbon through the holes, and tie it.
Next, prepare the card base, decorate the cover, and adhere the photo sheet inside.
When gluing, apply glue only to the top and bottom accordion sections.
When opened, a staircase-like album pops out—it looks wonderful!
flower balloon
An idea for presenting flowers in a glamorous way: the flower balloon.
Simply put, it’s the idea of placing flowers inside a balloon and giving them as a gift.
It’s easy to make, yet it really delights the recipient.
First, inflate the balloon once to stretch it out.
Attach the balloon to the mouth of a plastic bottle with the top cut off, and insert the flowers.
Remove the balloon, inflate it, tie the opening, and thread it onto a straw.
Connect additional straws to make a handle, and finish by wrapping it in a gift bag.
Done!
