Original preschool graduation certificate holder
A preschool graduation certificate is proof of your hard work, so you’ll want to display it at home.
Let’s make an original certificate holder! Prepare a frame that fits the size of the certificate, and press clay firmly along the front border.
Before the clay dries, embed your favorite pieces like beads or buttons.
To keep the pieces from falling off when the clay dries, use glue to secure the decorations as well.
Some children may feel anxious about leaving a familiar place, but with this custom certificate holder, they might look forward to the graduation ceremony a little more.
A surprise letter where you can attach photos!
Having a photo on the graduation certificate makes it even more memorable, doesn’t it? But simply sticking on a photo would be a waste! Create interactive elements for an album or gift to add a special touch.
All you need are construction paper and origami paper.
Cut the construction paper into strips, accordion-fold it, and attach a cover using your favorite origami paper to complete the album.
For the gift, fold a strip of construction paper in half and glue it, then attach origami paper to one side.
Make three of these, combine them so they slide vertically, and you’ll create a three-tier gift box effect.

A bouquet gift filled with gratitude will surely make a wonderful memory.
Prepare origami paper and fold it twice into a square and twice into a triangle.
Next, shape it by tucking the paper inward along the creases.
Sketch a heart shape with a pencil, then cut along the outline from the top.
Open it up, and you have a cute flower.
Roll green origami into a tube to make the stem, and attach it to the flower with a message written on the inside.
Wrap the flower with floral wrapping paper and construction paper, add a ribbon, and create a lovely bouquet filled with appreciation.
Pencil holder as a preschool graduation giftNEW!
A recommended gift for kindergarten graduates! It’s a pencil holder made using an empty candy box.
Cut the empty candy box to your preferred height, then cover the sides by pasting torn pieces of origami paper.
Glue decorative pom-poms around the rim of the box to make it cute.
Once they become first graders, they’ll have homework and use pencils at home every day, so a lovely pencil holder will lift their spirits.
Try designing it to match the image of the graduate.
When you give it as a present, attach a message card with a clip!
A card for group messagesNEW!
@peacefulheart.yun A message card that can stand up for display and is also great for group messages (yosegaki) 😊#HandmadeCardGroup message card / Joint message (Yosegaki)Message CardGift

Untie the ribbon and open the card, and you’ll find lots of balloons connected to a basket.
You can write a message on each balloon, so it works perfectly as a group message card.
Plus, this card can also be displayed like a photo frame! If you hand them out in advance, children can write messages to each other at the graduation ceremony and it encourages interaction with friends, and it will also make everyone want to take lots of photos.
The finished message card will surely become a treasure filled with memories.
We’d love to help make that happen through this craft!
Making gifts for kindergarten graduatesNEW!
At graduation ceremonies, many people will likely take lots of memorable photos.
How about making a photo frame that’s as simple as cutting and gluing cardboard? Just cut cardboard to the size of the frame, layer another piece with the inside cut out so the photo shows, and glue them together—done! Painting the cardboard or adding decorative parts like beads and stickers will make it even cuter.
Rather than giving just the frame, it will be appreciated even more if you include a memorable photo in it when you present it.
A card with potted flowers that pop outNEW!
Deliver your feelings in words! Let’s handmake a message card.
This idea uses only construction paper and features a pop-up potted flower.
The flowerpot is given a three-dimensional effect by adding straight and curved cuts along the fold of a sheet of construction paper folded in half.
For the flower, cut a circle from construction paper, fold it in half twice, then make mountain folds outward on the side opposite the creases.
Next, round off the corners to form the flower shape.
Attach the flower above the pot, and it’s complete.
