[Graduation Ceremony] Add Handmade Flair and Festivity! A Collection of Wall Decoration Ideas

10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.
20 years of experience as a nursery teacher / kindergarten teacherhiyoko sensei
I’m Hiyoko-sensei, a former nursery school teacher from Hyogo Prefecture. Ever since I was five, my dream was to become a childcare worker, and before I knew it, 20 years had passed since I achieved that dream. Through singing and playing with the children, I kept working with the spirit of someone in their twenties, even as I increasingly felt my physical limits year by year (haha). From here on, I’d like to share helpful information carefully and thoughtfully, drawing on my on-site experience.

Many teachers may be wondering what kind of wall decoration design to choose for the graduation ceremony.

Because it’s an important day to celebrate the children’s new beginning, you’ll want to create a bright and stylish atmosphere.

Here, we’ve gathered wall decoration ideas perfect for graduation ceremonies.

From decorations using giant paper flowers and balloons to spring motifs like cherry blossoms and tulips, each has a handmade warmth.

We’ve also included ideas for collaborative wall displays that you can make together with the children, so be sure to incorporate them to create memorable decorations for the big day.

Colorful flowers made with paper towels

🐶 @buchiko_hoiku ◂◂◂◂ Check out my other posts, too! 🌼 Thank you so much for all the likes! 🩷Graduation gift, Part 3 🌸 Trending overseas! Realistic flowers made with paper towels! 💐I also tried making a prototype with construction paper, but I felt the paper towel × dyed-paper combo looked more flower-like, so I went with that ✊🏻 ̖́-I’m using 205 ml paper cups! Finished sizes:- Pink flower → about 8.5 cm (20 sheets)- Orange flower → about 9 cm (12 sheets)- Rainbow flower → about 7.5 cm (15 sheets) 🤍If you line up the middle fold of each petal along the rim of the paper cup and layer them, you’ll get a nicely shaped flower! (The rainbow one wasn’t layered alternately very well, so it was a bit of a fail… 🥲)I can’t be the only one who thought, “Ugh, cutting out the bottom of the paper cup is such a pain!!” right? 😇 lolBy the way, I tried a prototype using the drinking rim side of the cup, but maybe because of the lip, it didn’t look like a flower and I wasn’t satisfied with the result 😶‍🌫️While making these, I imagined how cute and personal it would be if the graduates wore corsages they made themselves for the ceremony—and I was just daydreaming as I crafted 🤭🌸Please try making these yourself! 🌈 I’d love to hear if you made one—it really motivates me 🥹❤️‍🔥⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰Thanks for reading to the end 🐶I share ideas that are easy to copy, from intro to crafting ♬︎I’ll cry tears of joy if you like ♥, save 𖤘, and follow 𖤐 😂 lolComments are also very welcome 🤍🤍⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰Nursery teacher / Childcare worker Kindergarten Teacher #Spring crafts #Wall Creation Toddler Crafts Play that expands from picture books Graduation Gift Making

We’ll show you how to make colorful flowers using kitchen paper that you can find in any household.

Kitchen paper has a textured surface for absorbing oil, and that texture gives the flowers a unique, lovely finish.

To make them, first cut the kitchen paper into circles and fold each one into quarters.

Dip them into diluted rainbow-colored paints or poster colors.

Then let them dry thoroughly.

Once dry, layer and glue them—slightly offset—onto a paper cup with the bottom removed.

Gently remove the paper cup, and you’re done.

Rainbow-colored butterfly made with masking tape

Why not make a rainbow-colored butterfly using colorful washi tape? This project takes advantage of the tape’s translucency.

First, on a piece of cardstock, apply rainbow washi tape (you can find it at 100-yen shops) in overlapping strips, shifting each piece slightly.

Once you’ve covered the area in the shape of a butterfly, fold it in half, draw a cut line, and cut along the inside of that line with scissors.

Prepare a frame (also available at 100-yen shops), attach the butterfly so that parts extend beyond the frame for effect, add the body, and you’re done.

Let me share an idea for making a rainbow with accordion folds.

Cut red, yellow, green, and blue construction paper in half and connect the pieces to create length.

Then connect these four colors vertically to represent the rainbow colors.

Link several of these parts to make it longer, and accordion-fold them to complete a moving accordion art piece! Because the accordion fold lets you freely change the shape, you can create various rainbows—wave shapes, circles, arches, and more.

Make it to your preferred length and brighten up the graduation ceremony wall display.

Rainbow of handprint art

How about making a rainbow out of children’s handprints? They might feel excited if they can spot their own handprint—“Mine is right here!” First, prepare rainbow colors using poster paints, then let everyone press their handprints onto poster paper however they like.

Roughly cut each one out, and paste them by color onto a large sheet where you’ve sketched a rainbow shape in pencil.

Adding clouds made from tissue paper at both ends of the rainbow would be a lovely touch.

Give it a try!

Let’s make a rainbow cherry blossom wall decoration using construction paper like tape.

First, prepare seven colors of construction paper cut into tape-like strips.

Using a stapler, staple in two places to form one petal.

Make five petals in the same way.

When you put them together, one flower is complete.

Continue making flowers in different colors, arrange them in rainbow order, and display them on the wall to create a beautiful rainbow of cherry blossoms.

It’s a lovely wall decoration that expresses both the feeling of spring and the hopefulness of a rainbow.

You can make it with construction paper! Cute flowers

@hoiku_is
Made using only construction paper! Eye-catching wall decorations ✨ Perfect for graduation and entrance ceremonies, too 🌸😆Nursery teacher / Childcare worker #Hoikuis graduation ceremony (for kindergarten/preschool)Translation

Let’s make cute flowers using construction paper.

First, cut the paper into strips.

Form each strip into a teardrop shape by overlapping the two ends.

Make about 10 of these parts, arrange them in a circle, and glue them together.

Finish by attaching a round piece of construction paper for the flower center.

It’s a very simple idea, but you can create variations even with the same flower shape by changing the strip lengths, doubling the teardrop layers, or using different paper colors.

Make lots of them to create a flower garden on your wall.
