Let's celebrate turning 100 with handmade gifts! Introducing colored paper boards and message cards.

Paper flower shikishi decoration

@tomecomono.craftnngt

I tried decorating a message board with paper flowers. I’d be happy if it gives you some ideas for arranging message boards ☺️✨ This clip is at 5x speed, so please check out the slightly slower 3x version on YouTube♪Shikishipaper flower#Paper Flower ArtTranslationHand-drawn

If you have paper flowers on hand, this is a shikishi board I’d love for you to make.

By attaching paper flowers as decorations, you can create a lovely shikishi.

Depending on the style of the paper flowers, the board can look cute or take on a more chic impression.

You might sometimes give a bouquet for a birthday, and flowers are essential for celebratory occasions.

Adding flowers to the shikishi as well is likely to delight older adults even more.

If you use paper flowers that match the birthday season, they can also help seniors feel the change of seasons.

Round sticker and masking tape design

@chataro_art

Today I tried making a softly colorful birthday card using 100-yen shop round stickers and washi tape 🎉 Balloons and cakes can be finished just by sticking on the stickers—so easy! You might think, “That looks hard…,” but it’s actually super simple 😊 Add it to a birthday or baby gift, or give it as a little surprise for a friend, and it’ll convey your feelings even more and make them happy 💌 Ready-made cards are lovely, but the warmth of something handmade is truly special ✨ Just by changing the color combinations, you can make it pop or chic, so you can enjoy that original touch too 🎨 If you’re thinking, “I want to try making this!” save this and give it a go ♪ I’m also posting lots of other ideas you can make with 100-yen stickers, so take a look if you like ♪ Let’s have fun together 🎂🎈Circle sticker artSticker craft#HandmadeCardBirthday cardBirthday presentHandmade giftSimple craftBirthday card100-yen shop stickersmasking tapeWith childrenCrafting with parents and childrenSimple craft#StayHomeTime#Handmade IdeasDrawing with stickers#BabyGiftGift

You’ll find all kinds of items in the sticker section and the masking tape aisle.

With simple colored round stickers and your favorite masking tape, you can make a very cute style of message board.

If you stick a few round stickers as they are, you can make balloons, and with a bit of creative cutting, you can make candles too.

Masking tape can also be cut into triangles and stuck on the paper to make a garland.

Add a heartfelt birthday message, and it’s complete.

It’s a fun way to craft, so it’s also recommended as a recreational activity for older adults.

portrait (caricature)

A colored paper board with a caricature of yourself would likely delight seniors.

You could ask a shop to draw the caricature, or if someone is good at drawing, why not have them give it a try? A hand-drawn caricature would make for a one-of-a-kind, original shikishi.

With a board featuring a portrait that looks just like you, seniors would probably feel the warmth of something handmade.

The birthday party would also likely become livelier, with more conversation sparked by the caricature shikishi.

♪ Humming – Lila Ikuta

Here’s an idea for a birthday message board for seniors that uses a lovely headshot.

Prepare a photo featuring the senior, and cut it so it can be pasted onto the board.

Decorate around the photo with origami flowers, stickers, and other embellishments.

It’s also nice to add several short messages, like a group note.

A heartfelt, handmade birthday message board like this is sure to delight the senior.

A birthday party with a handmade board like this is bound to be filled with smiles.

A flower shikishi design with a cute three-dimensional feel

Flake stickers are die-cut one by one along their designs.

They’re sold at variety shops and 100-yen stores, and are popular because you can stick them in planners or on letters.

By using these flake stickers, you can make decorative cards with three-dimensional designs.

When attaching the flake stickers to the card, use felt.

Cut the felt into small squares and use wood glue to stick it to the back of the flake stickers.

Then glue the felt-backed stickers onto the card with wood glue to create a raised, textured design.

If you decorate by adding craft beads or rhinestones alongside the stickers, you’ll end up with an even more charming card.

It might also be nice to use stickers that match the season of the older person’s birthday.

Let’s make a pop-up message board that surprises seniors when they open it.

Pop-up boards may look complicated, so some people might think, “That seems hard to make.” It depends on the design, but there are easy ones too.

For example, make a spiral shape out of thick paper or construction paper and put double-sided tape on both ends.

With a folding message board, sandwich the spiral while attaching the double-sided tape.

Press the folded board firmly to secure it.

When you open the board, the spiral paper will pop out.

Attach photos or cards with written messages.

It’s also nice to make and stick on seasonal flowers like cherry blossoms or sunflowers out of construction paper.

Message board design with bouquet illustration

Shikishi Design | I tried making a group message shikishi with a bouquet illustration

Let’s celebrate an older adult’s birthday with a colored paper card featuring an illustration of a large bouquet.

Using simple tips for drawing a bouquet on the card makes it easy.

If you’re thinking, “Making a group-message card sounds hard,” please give it a try.

Place your open hand on the card.

In the gaps between your spread fingers, draw key flowers and leaves.

Then lift your hand off the card and draw the frames for the group messages.

Color what you’ve drawn with pens, and the illustration and frames on the card are complete.

A card with a lovely illustration and warm congratulatory messages—older adults are sure to be delighted.
