Butterfly
Graduation-from-preschool season is when you can really feel spring arriving, isn’t it? It’s the time when flowers bloom around town and plants start to sprout.
A butterfly-themed wall decoration is perfect for such a festive season! Since butterflies themselves have a simple shape, this wall decor is easy to try even for those who aren’t confident with crafts.
Fold a sheet of construction paper in half, cut along a butterfly outline, and open it up—the butterfly is complete.
If you’re good at crafts, making a three-dimensional decoration is also recommended.
With a little creativity, you can make something that looks quite professional, so give it a try!
Giant paper flower
Giant paper flowers with striking, oversized blooms are perfect as a graduation ceremony backdrop to celebrate a new beginning.
Let’s make them using five large and five medium petals, plus three small petals.
Prepare a base by cutting a large circle, then, working from the outside in, glue the petals in order—large, medium, then small—shaping the flower as you go while keeping the balance.
To finish, roll a strip of yellow paper with small slits cut into it to form the stamens, and glue it in the center.
For the petals, curling the tips with a pencil to create rounded edges adds elegance and a three-dimensional look—highly recommended!
Handmade letters
By adding original handmade lettering to the wall decorations, you can brighten up the graduation ceremony alongside other illustrations and objects.
Since you can make it simply by cutting out the necessary letters from origami paper, it could be fun for teachers and current students to create them together.
Printing letters from a computer and cutting them out is fine, but if possible, we recommend cutting out the teacher’s handwritten letters for a warmer touch.
Be mindful of creating lettering that catches the eye so it doesn’t blend in with the other wall decorations.
three-dimensional flowers
Let me show you how to make a cute, airy-looking flower.
First, cut construction paper into strips and prepare eight each in two different lengths.
Layer a short strip on top of a long strip, fold them in half without making a crease, then overlap the two ends and staple them together.
Make eight of these parts, gather them with the stapled sections meeting at the center, and secure them.
Finish by attaching a circular center piece made from construction paper.
If you change the paper colors, you’ll get a colorful flower, and if you make the strips longer, you can create a larger flower.
Skeleton Sakura
If you decorate the wall for a spring graduation ceremony, the translucent beauty of the cherry blossoms will make the new beginning feel even more festive.
Prepare clear files, origami paper, stickers, and masking tape.
Cut the clear files and origami together into the same cherry blossom shapes.
For the origami cut into cherry blossom shapes, cut out the centers and stick them onto the edges of the clear-file cherry blossom shapes from above.
Decorating the centers of the finished blossoms with stickers or masking tape will make them even more vibrant—highly recommended.
It’s also exciting to stick them on windows and enjoy how the light comes through while appreciating your cherry blossom wall display.
balloon flower
Balloons are eye-catching items that shine at parties and more.
These days there are many varieties, and even 100-yen shops carry cute, practical options.
How about making a flower balloon—one filled with flowers—using those balloons? It may seem difficult, but you can make it easily with mostly 100-yen shop supplies, and you can surprisingly stuff various items inside by using the cut-off mouth of a plastic bottle.
It’s lovely not only with flowers but also with things like glitter.
Depending on the flowers you put inside, you can create a celebratory mood perfect for occasions like preschool graduation.
paper pom-poms
Decorate the wall with cute, voluminous, flower-like paper pom-poms that are perfect for adding sparkle to a graduation ceremony.
Prepare four sheets of tissue paper, crease them, cut them in half, and stack the pieces.
With eight rectangular sheets stacked, accordion-fold them in 7–8 mm widths and tie the center with thread or fishing line.
Lift each layer firmly from the base, fanning them up one by one, and shape it into a hemisphere to finish.
The back is flat, making it easy to display in various places and allowing for flexible arrangements.
