A handmade pop-up Miffy card
A whimsical card where Miffy pops out of a bouquet is a lovely idea that brings a smile to whoever receives it.
Although it looks tricky, the mechanism is actually very simple, so give it a try! Make two slits in a white sheet of cardstock to serve as the base, creating a mechanism that lets a piece of clear plastic rotate.
Attach the Miffy you traced onto white paper and the yellow strip to the mechanism you just made.
Create a bouquet to hide the mechanism and glue it onto the base.
Be careful not to glue down the yellow strip, as it forms the pop-up action.
Finish the bouquet with punched-out flowers and a ribbon! Share a warm, handmade touch on a special day.
Cute when hung! A hot air balloon made of paper
How about creating a festive graduation ceremony atmosphere with a hot air balloon wall decoration made from colored construction paper? First, cut a toilet paper roll to a length of about 3 cm, and cut cardboard to match the circle size of the roll.
Make a tube by attaching a 4 cm wide by 14 cm tall piece of colored paper around the toilet paper roll, then glue the circular cardboard piece to the bottom to form the basket of the hot air balloon.
Next, draw a circle with a radius of 4 cm to make a template for the balloon, cut colored construction paper to that size, and create the balloon by gluing together a set of two red pieces and one yellow piece.
Attach strings to the bottom of each, thread them like twisted paper cords through holes made in the basket part, and glue them in place to finish.
You can also decorate with lace or ribbons for an extra touch!
Ideas for Handmade Congratulatory Telegrams to Give at Nursery and Kindergarten Graduation Ceremonies (31–40)
A school pops out! Message card
Once the kindergarten graduation ceremony is over, they’ll be first graders from spring.
So how about incorporating school-themed motifs into the graduation certificate to envision a bright future? This idea uses a pop-up, making it perfect for a spread-style graduation certificate.
To ease any anxiety about the new school environment, adorn the area around the school with festive cherry blossoms, and finish it with a bright, gentle feel.
The pop-up mechanism is simple—just add a few folds to construction paper.
Handmade washi preschool graduation certificate
Making washi involves softening the fibers by boiling the bark of the source trees and pounding it with sticks, then whitening the color with bleach before breaking it down into pulp.
Next, a tool called a sugeta is used to form the mixture into flat sheets of paper.
It takes time and effort to produce even a single sheet of washi, which is precisely why it’s a perfect material for a commemorative preschool graduation certificate.
Once the washi is ready, decorate it with parts made from construction paper or similar materials to create a certificate that’s uniquely your own.
Every time you look at the graduation certificate, you’ll be reminded of the wonderful time everyone had making washi together.
Easy! Cherry Blossom Pop-up Card
100-yen shops have become indispensable in our daily lives.
Here’s a pop-up card you can make using materials you can easily get at these familiar stores! The cherry blossoms, a symbol of spring, are perfect for celebrating graduation from kindergarten.
Make a base with white construction paper and cut slits for the pop-up mechanism.
By changing the length of the slits, you can create different depths, so adjust as you like.
Once you attach cherry blossom message cards to the slits, the pop-up feature is complete.
Decorate with your preferred design, then attach the base to a cover to finish.
It’s very simple, yet it delivers surprise and delight when opened.
Give it a try!
Origami celebration card
Made with cardstock and origami! Here’s a cute message card idea featuring children and cherry blossom motifs.
It’s perfect for teachers who are good at origami or for classes where origami is popular among the kids.
Using both pink and light pink for the flowers adds a touch of elegance.
Plus, by customizing the hat colors, you can match the hats your class uses.
It’s sure to become a lovely, handmade message card that feels warm and personal!
