[Handmade] Gift ideas (1–10) to give to someone important 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.
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!
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.
[Handmade] Gift ideas (11–20) for someone special who is retiring from their club activities
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.
ball mascot
If you’re in a ball-sport club, gifts with a ball motif are highly recommended! They’ll be a guaranteed keepsake that brings back memories even after retiring from the club.
It might take a little effort, but why not make one with care? Here, we’ll introduce a soccer ball! First, cut felt according to a downloadable template.
Sew the pieces together with thread to form half of a sphere.
Make two identical halves, then create a felt tag for a chain, place the tag between the halves, and sew them together.
Finally, stuff it with filling, shape it into a sphere, and stitch the opening closed to finish! You can also make volleyballs and basketballs, so give it a try.
keychain
How about giving a handmade keychain as a gift, filled with your feelings for that special person? A small keychain won’t take up much space when displayed, and if they attach it to an everyday item like a bag, it will keep the memories close at hand.
Choosing a motif related to their club activities ties directly to those memories, and if it’s handmade, it will also make them think of their junior.
Simple shapes are best—like layering felt over a small sphere with a chain to create a ball—because they’re easy to incorporate into daily life.
Highly recommended.
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!
