Brighten up your kindergarten graduation album with handmade touches! A collection of fun-to-make and delightful-to-receive ideas (1–10)
Use felt letters
Motifs made with fabric are a great idea because they give a graduation album a warm, tactile feel.
You can buy washable felt at 100-yen shops, which is convenient because you can redo it if your child gets it dirty.
Also, choosing a thicker fabric will create clearer contrast and make it look more polished.
Felt that’s pre-cut into hiragana shapes is especially recommended—you can easily combine the pieces to create messages.
Colorful balloon
Perfect for decorating graduation albums! Here’s how to make an adorable hot air balloon with animals that gently sway.
Coloring with masking tape makes it extra fun, so be sure to try it with the kids.
You’ll need crayons, a hot air balloon template, string, animal pieces for the gondola, white drawing paper, and clear tape.
First, stick masking tape onto the drawing paper.
Color anywhere you like with crayons, then peel off the masking tape.
Cut the paper into a balloon shape using the template.
Attach the string and animal pieces to the back, and you’re done!
Backgrounds made with a stamp pad
You can create album backgrounds with an ink pad! Here are some ideas that are useful for making graduation albums.
The first idea is simple: press the ink pad directly onto the paper at random.
If you put masking tape around the border, you can stamp without worrying about going over the edges.
Once it’s dry, adding photos looks cute and is recommended.
The second idea is to use masking tape to cover the ink pad in a triangle shape.
Just by applying masking tape, you can make adorable triangle stamps.
For both methods, the key is not to layer stamps until the ink is dry.
If you want to stamp over the entire sheet, cover the paper’s border with masking tape.

Handmade albums and message cards created with the recipient in mind for special occasions like graduation ceremonies make for a truly moving time for both the sender and the recipient.
Print out text you’ve created on a computer and cut out the letters.
Choose photos that capture your memories with the recipient, and paste them to match the cut-out letters—then you’ll have a one-of-a-kind original message card.
Give it a try and make a photo message card that will be a cherished memory for a lifetime!
eraser stamp
Did you know you can transfer a design onto an eraser stamp using nail polish remover? Soak the surface of the eraser with nail polish remover, then place a photocopied design on top and dab more remover over it using a tissue.
Once the liquid dries, gently peel the paper off.
The image will be transferred.
If it doesn’t work, you can wipe everything off with remover and try again.
After carving the eraser with a craft knife, ink it on a stamp pad and give it a try.
It’s also fun to add more color to the stamped image afterward.
Decorate with masking tape
Masking tape comes in a variety of designs, and some people even enjoy collecting it as a hobby.
Because it’s made of a soft material, it’s easy to cut and stick, making it very user-friendly.
Let’s use masking tape to brighten up your preschool graduation album! You can place it around photos to create a picture frame-like design, or cut it into small pieces for a mosaic art effect—both are stylish options.
Finish your album with colorful masking tape to make it truly joyful and exciting!

How about doing some cut-and-paste with photos? You could physically cut and paste printed photos, or trim the image data and create it that way.
Once your photos are ready, decide on the layout and design, and finish up your album.
Be sure to check videos and social media for cut-and-paste ideas.
Photos capture all kinds of expressions from the kids, so as you make the album, a variety of feelings may rush through your heart.
Gather your cherished photos and create a wonderful album.
