[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.

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.

When you need lots of cherry blossom parts, why not try making them with kirie (paper cutting)? Even with the same shape, simply changing the origami colors or patterns and mixing the petals will create a striking wall decoration.

First, fold the origami paper into a triangle twice, then unfold it once.

Fold the top corner down to meet the bottom edge to make a crease, then unfold it.

Using that crease as a guide, fold down only the front layer of the top corner.

Align the left edge of the paper with the left corner of the small triangle you just folded down, and fold; then roll-fold it once more.

On the right side, fold it over to overlap the left side, align the shape, then fold back and fold the tip downward.

Draw a petal shape on top, cut along the lines with scissors, and when you open it up, you’ll have a cherry blossom.

Here’s a stamp art project featuring cherry blossoms using decorative balls.

You can use any kind of decorative ball for the stamp.

Clip it with a clothespin so your hands don’t get dirty.

Once your stamp is ready, draw the tree trunk on construction paper with a pen.

Then, using pink, red, and yellow paint, stamp the cherry blossom petals on top.

This alone makes a lovely piece of art, but if you want to make it even cuter, try adding flower-shaped rhinestones.

Cute! Animal balloons

Here’s a handmade balloon idea that lets you enjoy both a sense of dimension and playfulness.

Prepare two yellow strips cut from construction paper and fold them alternately to create a spring shape—this gives the legs a lively, bouncy look.

Secure the first and last folds firmly with double-sided tape, trim any excess, then cut them into leg shapes.

Combine the finished springs with the legs, and draw an animal face on an inflated balloon to instantly boost its charm.

Finally, attach the legs with double-sided tape to complete it.

It’s an idea that warms up the atmosphere just by being displayed.

Cherry blossoms made with handmade stamps

https://www.tiktok.com/@chooobo2/video/7475676764904246545

Here’s an idea for creating a vibrant cherry blossom tree using handmade stamps.

The stamps are easy to make, so try them with the children in your class! Paste a tree trunk onto white construction paper, then use a rolled-up flyer dipped in paint to stamp the shape of the cherry blossoms.

You can make the stamps by combining sponge sheets from a 100-yen shop with six plastic bottle caps.

Cut the sponge sheets into petal shapes beforehand.

To make the petals stand out, the key is to stamp with darker paint! A cherry blossom wall display that brightens up the graduation ceremony backdrop can be made enjoyably with handmade stamps—why not give it a try?

A cherry tree drawn with water-based pens

@niconico_mama
Replying to @🌈Latte🍒 I can make things like this too, so feel free to use it as a reference💕 I’d be happy if you shared it🥰 Water-based markers transformed😍✨ This time, we’re using the water-based markers you probably have at home to make a cherry tree in full bloom🌸 It’s easy✨ Scribble on aluminum foil with water-based markers. (Use lots of colors🌈) Spritz water onto your drawing👍 Place construction paper on top, press lightly with your hand, then peel it off and let it dry🥰👍 Once the paper is dry, cut it into any shapes you like✂︎ It’s cute as is, but you can add a tree trunk with brown construction paper, or stick on lots of origami cherry blossoms from the previous post😊 Try different cutting styles, decorate with sparkly stickers, add ribbons… Use all kinds of materials you have at home💕 It would look great on the wall, and you could write a message on it too🥰🫶 Try making it in different colors😊💕 It could be a nice gift🎁 for a teacher who helped you or for friends♥️ —————————— What I used: • Water-based markers • Aluminum foil • Construction paper • Spray bottle with water • Scissors Decorations: origami paper, tissue paper flowers, sparkly stickers —————————— ☆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━☆ Thank you so much for all the comments and likes😊 Some people even tell me they made it, which makes me super happy☺️♥️ I’m looking forward to seeing what everyone played and made😆✨✨ ☆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━☆Parenting #LifeWithKids #Kindergarten #Nursery school #Craft Admission Enrollment #Graduation from kindergarten #Flower #asmr #asmrsounds #papercraft

Draw pictures or patterns with a water-based marker on aluminum foil, then mist it with water.

Place a sheet of white drawing paper on top to transfer the foil’s patterns onto the paper.

Cut the paper to resemble the blossoms of a cherry tree, and attach it to a separate sheet where you’ve made the trunk.

Finally, stick paper-cut cherry blossom pieces onto the blossom area and add rhinestones for extra sparkle—and you’re done! Since most of the drawings or patterns made with the water-based marker will blur, it’s fine to draw freely.

However, because it’s a cherry blossom theme, be sure to use plenty of pink.

Here’s a craft idea for making cherry blossoms: glue crumpled tissue paper onto a base made from pink construction paper.

The tissue paper sections become three-dimensional, so they pop off the wall and look adorable.

Make the trunk and petals from construction paper, and display them together with the tissue paper blossoms.

You can crumple the tissue paper tightly, but if you want a softer, fluffier look, loosely crumple it.

Using several shades of pink also enhances the overall vibrancy.

Decorate with these springlike cherry blossoms to beautifully celebrate the preschool graduation that marks the children’s new beginning.

Cute flowers made with balloons

@little_kidsparty
Repost for clarity 🌸 A flower made with balloons 🌸graduation ceremony (for kindergarten/preschool)Entrance Ceremony Farewell Ceremony Birthday party Decoration #FlowersWithBalloons #BalloonFlower #FlowerBalloon Balloon balloon balloon #balloon
♬ Y (Please Tell Me Why ) – freestyle

Here’s a cute idea for making a flower out of heart-shaped balloons.

Inflate five heart balloons, gather them at the necks, and arrange them into a flower shape.

Add a round balloon in the center as the pistil to create a three-dimensional flower.

Make the pistil by connecting two round balloons together, and attach them so the flower looks complete from both the front and back.

When connecting, gather and tie the necks or pull and wrap them around tightly so you can assemble it without glue.

Use balloons in various colors to create a bright, festive decoration.
