Lots of candles

Beginner-friendly: A birthday message with lots of candles

Here’s a simple and cute idea for drawing lots of candles.

Prepare pens in your favorite colors, and following the video, draw vertical lines.

Then use red or orange pens to draw the flames.

Adding patterns to the vertical lines with a white pen will make the candles even cuter.

Finish by writing your message, and you’re done.

It’s amazing how adorable it turns out just by lining up the candles! As shown in the video, using colorful candles will make it look even more festive!

A handmade group message in the shape of a present

[Handmade Message Board] How to Make a Cute Group Message Gift!

Here’s an idea for making a birthday message board using a message card shaped like a present box.

All you need are colored construction paper, thick cardstock, and ribbon—all available at 100-yen shops! Use the colored construction paper and cardstock to make the base.

Attach a ribbon to a small piece of cardstock.

The key is to attach the ribbon a little loosely so there’s a small gap between the ribbon and the cardstock where you can slide in a message card.

Stick your favorite patterned origami paper onto the card that goes in between, write your message, and insert it into the base—and you’re done.

Gift boxes are such an exciting motif, aren’t they? If you use various origami patterns, it turns out super cute.

Give it a try!

Acrostic-style (using the Japanese syllabary order)

@aymkmama

#Great-great-grandmotherBirthdayPresentHokkaidofromHiroshimaGlad to hear it arrived! Happy 91st birthday!!!!AlbumShikishiHandmade

Original Song – Ayamiko – Ayamikojin

As a birthday message board idea, how about writing an acrostic-style message using the Japanese syllabary? On the board shown in the video, there’s a big “Arigatou” (Thank you), with a message that matches each character.

Besides “Arigatou,” words like “Omedetou” (Congratulations) or “Daisuki” (I love you), or even the recipient’s name, would be wonderful too! Once you’ve written the messages, use color pens to draw vibrant illustrations.

Try making it with heartfelt gratitude that you don’t usually get to express!

Message boards filled with notes from everyone really carry heartfelt feelings and are wonderful, aren’t they? For the recipient, they’re sure to become a cherished memory.

Let’s make a group message board using small message cards you can buy at a 100-yen shop! Many already have flower illustrations and the like, so the easy preparation is part of the appeal.

Of course, you can also cut drawing paper into any shape you like and use that.

Just like in the video, writing big celebratory messages or the recipient’s name, and adding photos are great ideas too! Please use this as an idea for celebrating an older adult’s birthday.

A pop-up cake birthday card

Classic ✩ Easy ✩ How to make a pop-up cake birthday card

Here’s a project idea that’s perfect for folded message boards or birthday cards.

When you think of birthdays, a delicious-looking birthday cake comes to mind, right? This idea features a birthday cake that pops up when you open a card or a piece of colored paper folded in half.

Cut construction paper into the shape of a cake, and make the cream sandwiched between layers and the fruit toppings out of construction paper as well.

Attach a backing sheet to the colored paper or card, then glue on the cake.

When the card is opened and a lavish birthday cake appears, even seniors are sure to be pleasantly surprised and have their hearts lifted.

Use this as inspiration to create a lovely message board.
