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.

During my student years at Kyoto College of Science and Technology, I studied a wide range of fields including sound, lighting, and video technology, building a foundation in comprehensive stage production and creative expression. After graduation, I joined a music production company, where I still work, consistently building experience in production and engaging in a variety of music-centered tasks. 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!

uChiwa (fan) with ID printed

For those who want to capture their sports day memories on social media, a fan featuring your ID is a great idea.

Write your ID in large letters and finish it off by adding a selfie or a two-shot with a friend to create a design that balances personality and presence.

Place your favorite photo as the background or use neon-style pens to make the text pop, and it becomes a fun, fashion-like cheering item.

It also makes it easier for viewers to find you on social media, helping spark post-event memory sharing.

Adding your fave’s name or a favorite phrase is recommended, too.

If you make them together with friends, it will widen your circle of connections and become a memorable keepsake.

Deco uchiwa are items that combine the fun of fan merchandise with an easy way to spark interaction.

Using colorful paper, rhinestones, stickers, and more to freely decorate phrases like “I’m a fan of ○○-chan” or “moe-kyun” creates a setup where customers can join in themselves.

Laying out the materials on a table turns it into a make-it-here corner, perfect for passing the time while waiting.

The finished uchiwa can be used as photo props and taken home as souvenirs.

When maids give direct advice, natural conversation flows and the range of customer service expands.

With a bit of decorative creativity, each person’s individuality shines, making it a fun idea for friends to enjoy together.

Try printing your favorite designs and decorating with them! Here are some ideas for using “neppuri,” short for “net print.” Use a service that lets you print design data created on your smartphone or computer at convenience stores to make a cover illustration.

In the video, they draw cute, handwritten lettering and stick on stickers printed via net print around it.

It’s a great idea for those who want to combine hand-drawn elements with digital data.
