CanvaAI

Let’s try creating designs using an app! Here are some ideas for Canva’s AI.
In recent years, AI technology has been a hot topic.
It seems that AI can generate not only text but also illustrations and designs.
This time, let’s make use of the Canva app.
One of the app’s features is a service that can generate graphics.
Just enter a clear description of the image you want to create and choose an illustration style, and you can finish it easily! Among the styles, there are a variety such as hand-drawn and stamp-like looks.
Be sure to give it a try.
Rubik’s Cube Art
@rua06100 My eldest son made an exhibit for the school festival 🤣Rubik's CubeI meant to make 100, but it ended up being 90.AmazingPokemon Rubik's Cube Art#ChallengeCharmanderOnTuesday#Mappy-styleTranslationEldest son

How about using a lot of Rubik’s Cubes to create and exhibit Rubik’s Cube art? The bigger it is, the more impressive it looks, but using about 100 cubes in a 10-by-10 layout turns out nicely.
After color-coding the picture you want to make on graph paper, rearrange the cubes to match those colors.
This part can be tricky for people who aren’t used to it.
If you have experienced members, it could be fun to display both a finished piece and a work in progress.
Dried Flower Art

How about an exhibit that stylishly decorates the interior with dried flowers? That said, buying all the materials for dried flowers can get quite expensive.
In that case, why not try drying plants like pampas grass growing along the riverbank, or actively use dried versions of flowers and plants from your garden? Using spray paint to unify the colors is also a good idea.
You could also try using them as interior decor for a café or other venues at a school festival.
Kitpas

♪ Original song – Kitpas – Kitpas
At school festivals, you often picture lively decorations on walls, entrances, and even ceilings, right? Today, we’re introducing “Kitpas,” perfect for that kind of decorating.
Kitpas are crayon-like sticks you can draw with on windows and mirrors, and the marks wipe away easily with water—like magic paint.
With these, you can brighten up windows and mirrors in vivid colors! Draw pictures, create a stained-glass look—use your ideas to make the space cheerful and glamorous.
Marquee Light

Let’s create and display atmospheric decorations.
Here are some marquee light ideas.
Marquee lights originally referred to illuminated signs or bulb-decorated signs used at hotels, theaters, and bars in the United States.
These days, some people even use them as home decor.
How about making a stylish marquee light to change the mood of your classroom? You’ll need items like thick paper, a utility knife, a ruler, string lights, spray paint, and a hot glue gun.
Give it a try!
Tissue paper board
https://www.tiktok.com/@hnhnhm_425/video/6944381744871230722At school festivals, people often make signs to show where events and activities are held.
This time, we’re introducing an eye-catching, highly effective promotional idea: a colorful tissue-paper flower board.
All you need are a pencil, Styrofoam, and tissue paper in your favorite colors.
Cut the Styrofoam into any pattern or letters you like, then use glue to attach the tissue paper by wrapping it around a pencil as you stick it on.
Twirling the paper with a pencil takes time, but you’ll be amazed at the finished quality.
It’s perfect for anyone who wants to create a sign with real impact.
Paper Cup Flower Light
https://www.tiktok.com/@goodskeeper/video/7099481854474046762How about using paper cup lights to create a charming atmosphere for your school or cultural festival? With a bit of creativity in assembly, you can make flower lights that look like roses.
Cut two paper cups in half to make four pieces in total.
For each piece, trim one of the pointed ends and use a stick to curl it into a rounded shape.
Layer the four pieces while imagining rose petals.
Make several roses the same way and assemble them to form a lampshade-like design.
It’s a stylish decoration idea that also makes good use of the paper cups’ white color.
