Cute deco uchiwa ideas for school culture festivals

10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
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 as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.

Currently, I mainly handle articles for children, drawing on what I’ve learned about parenting and what I feel and discover through daily interactions with my kids. I hope my work can be of help to you, even in a small way!

Create borders around your illustrations to make your design stand out! Here are some paper-cutting ideas for crafting decorative fans (uchiwa).

This is a great idea for anyone who, after sticking on a hand-drawn or printed character, feels like “something’s missing” or wants to make it pop more.

Try using black construction paper to emphasize the outline of your illustration or character.

Cutting it out with a craft knife should give you a clean finish.

When attaching it, work slowly and carefully so the thin borders don’t tear.

With crisp, defined edges, you’ll end up with a fan that really makes an impact.

Let’s make a cool uchiwa fan by deliberately keeping it simple and painting with a brush! Here are some ideas for single-character kanji.

Adding intricate details to the fan is nice, but a one-kanji design has impact, is simple, and tends to be memorable.

You could use a character related to your name or one that symbolizes your group.

In the video, they write kanji on the fan with a calligraphy brush, which gives the characters a powerful, cool look.

Give it a try!

I saw a fellow Stray Kids fan making a spinning-face uchiwa (fan) and copied the idea! I don’t have any plans to go to a show… ᐠ( ᐛ )ᐟ#NaniwaDanshi Kento Nagao The Excited-san of the Johnny’s fan world

Cute or cool fan designs are great, but if you just want to show off your personality and get some laughs, this is the idea for you.

This fan features a unique mechanism where the face photo attached to the fan spins around and around.

It seems to be made using eyelets and rivets commonly used in leathercraft.

The spinning face photo is sure to make people laugh!

It’s also nice that you can repurpose a fan you already have by cutting off the ribs.

Feathered fan

If you want a uchiwa fan that’s a little different from the rest, how about adding wings to it? This idea features three-dimensional angel wings attached to the fan.

In fact, balloons like that are actually sold.

When you attach them to a fan, it feels like you’ve transformed into a magical girl! It’s an idea that will really appeal to anyone who loves cute things.

You’re free to make the wings however you like, so you could DIY them with wire and faux fur.

If you stick them on your back, you might look like an angel yourself!
