How about using a paper-cup light to create a lovely atmosphere for your school or cultural festival? With a bit of creativity, you can assemble a flower light that looks like a rose.

Cut two paper cups in half to make four pieces in total.

On each piece, trim one of the pointed corners and use a stick to curve the edges.

Layer the four pieces while imagining rose petals.

Make several roses the same way, and when you put them together, they become a lampshade.

The white color of the paper cups also works nicely, making this a great decoration idea even when you’re short on time.

Marquee Light

Marquee Light

These stylish letter lights are called “marquee lights,” a type of lighting inspired by electronic signboards.

Besides letters, there are many cute designs like hearts and stars.

For a school festival, placing them in eye-catching spots—such as to mark a class entrance, as signs for food stalls, or at event venues—makes things easy to find and adds a festive touch.

With a bit of creativity, you can even make them using supplies from a 100-yen shop.

They’re a recommended decoration to liven up your school festival.

photo garland

This is a decoration idea where you attach clips to a wire and tuck in your favorite photos to create a garland-like display.

The key point is which photos you choose—pay attention to the overall color balance when arranged, and display memorable photos that suit the situation.

Since the wire and clips are made of sturdy materials, it’s recommended to print the photos on thicker stock as well to create a cohesive look.

Alternatively, using a variety of clip types on purpose can add a colorful, lively feel.

candle

Using candles can create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

First, find a space that can be darkened.

Then think about how to arrange the candles.

For example, you could line up many simple candles, or you could arrange colorful ones.

The former will give a sacred impression, while the latter will create a lively feel.

By the way, if school rules or other regulations prohibit open flames, using LED candle lights is a good alternative.

stained glass

Let’s brighten up the school festival venue with vibrant stained-glass-style decorations to warmly welcome visitors.

Since making real stained glass would be difficult, I recommend designs inspired by stained glass—such as sticking transparent tape onto glass or drawing pictures with pens on large sheets of film.

Because this is venue decoration, most of the work will be done in advance, which also means you’ll be relatively free to move around on the day of the event—a big plus.

Balance the workload of preparation and decide thoughtfully how many pieces you’ll turn into stained-glass-style displays.
