Flowers made with pipe cleaners that even small children can make!
https://www.tiktok.com/@niconico_mama/video/7470476105456143636Let’s make flowers using heart-shaped packing peanuts and chenille stems (pipe cleaners).
It’s easy enough for kids: simply skewer three peanuts onto the pipe cleaner and roll them up.
After adding the peanuts, curl them into a circle to form petals, then use the pipe cleaner to create the stamens and stem.
Once finished, wrap the flowers with tissue paper or lace paper to make a bouquet.
Heart-shaped packing peanuts come in many colors, so you can make flowers in your favorite shades.
Put your gratitude into each one and craft them with care.
Sparkling Origami Crown
https://www.tiktok.com/@hoikushi_worker/video/7199469848622009602Prepare a sheet of shiny origami paper cut to one-quarter size and let’s make a crown.
Fold the left and right sides toward the center, then fold up the bottom as well.
Inflate the paper slightly as you fold to complete one part.
Make six parts using the same method and connect them together.
Adjust the origami size to fit your child’s head.
Cut the shiny origami into 16 thin strips, fold them into star shapes, and attach them as decorations to the crown.
Give this crown a try—it’s perfect for special occasions.

You’ll take lots of photos with teachers and friends at the graduation ceremony, right? So how about giving the graduates a photo frame as a gift? Prepare a paper plate with a festive pattern and make cuts on the inside to create the image of a double-opening window.
Attach a handle made from construction paper to the window, and stick on parts around the edge that say “Congratulations.” Finally, add a ribbon made of yarn and a string so it can be hung on the wall, and it’s complete.
It would be lovely if they display their cherished memories from the graduation ceremony in it.

A handmade paper-clay keychain is a great way to add a personal, cozy touch.
Prepare paper clay, paint, yarn, a clip, and beads to get started.
Knead your chosen paint color into the paper clay.
Shape it as you like, then decorate it with beads, glitter, and ribbons to make it pop.
Before the clay dries, set the keychain clip by embedding it into the clay, then let everything dry to finish.
Applying a final coat of varnish will give it a glossy, more vibrant look.
For the keychain cord, use yarn or ribbon as you prefer.
A glamorous flower corsage
https://www.tiktok.com/@hii_hoiku_seisaku/video/7472349639417564434Layer construction paper to make it! Here’s an idea for a corsage made by cutting colored construction paper.
What you’ll need: construction paper in your favorite colors, scissors, origami paper, round stickers, double-sided tape or glue stick, liquid glue, a paper cup, and lace paper doilies.
Place the petals—cut from the colored construction paper—one by one around the rim of the paper cup.
After applying glue, continue layering the petal pieces in the same way.
Once the paper cup is no longer visible, attach the folded, cut lace doilies and add a ribbon to finish.
Kids will be excited to work on this project.
Decorated pen holder made from a clear cup
https://www.tiktok.com/@hii_hoiku_seisaku/video/7473091518295772424A decorated pen holder that lets you look back on memories is perfect as a gift for kindergarten graduates.
Prepare a clear plastic cup, masking tape, memorable photos, tissue paper, double-sided tape, and scissors, then let’s get started.
Fold the tissue paper three times and cut it into any shapes you like.
When you unfold the tissue paper, you’ll be surprised by the accidental shapes that appear.
Arrange and stick the tissue paper and photos onto the clear cup in a balanced way.
If you like, you can draw illustrations or add stickers such as flowers.
Place another clear cup over the top and secure the rim with masking tape to finish.
Try making it while reminiscing about the fun memories.

It’s an idea where you pack candies into clear bags and attach them to the balloon sticks to make a bouquet.
What you need are balloons, balloon sticks, clear bags, wrapping paper, and individually wrapped candies.
You can get most of the materials at a 100-yen shop, and buying family packs of individually wrapped candies will help keep costs down.
It’s very easy to make, so it’s a great idea when you want to prepare one for every graduating child.
Even with a small amount of candy, the balloons add volume, making it a gift that looks impressive.
