Skeleton uchiwa (transparent handheld fan)
A fan with a message written on it is a great item for expressing your support directly, isn’t it? Let’s try making a DIY fan—well-known as a must-have for “oshi” activities—as a cheering accessory.
Use a fan frame you can even find at a 100-yen shop, then add stickers and other parts to create your own design.
It’s also important that the base is skeleton-like with film or lace; this light-transmitting structure helps make the photos, messages, and other decorations you add stand out even more.
In addition to decorating the fan surface itself, adding ribbons and other embellishments around the edges is also recommended.
Handprint fan
Let’s turn them into characters! Here are some ideas for handprint fans.
This is a unique idea where you make handprints look like characters.
In the post, the handprints are made to look like Pokémon characters, with eyes and expressions added.
In the same way, creating your favorite characters or motifs with handprints can be really fun! The impression can change depending on the paint colors and how open the hand is.
Let’s liven up Sports Day together with your favorite characters and motifs!

When it comes to classic decor items for school sports days and field days, there are all sorts of cute options like name boards, megaphones, and hand fans.
But actually carrying them around can be a hassle, and some students may not be allowed to make them due to school rules.
That’s why we recommend deco towels! You need a towel to wipe sweat anyway, and if you decorate it, it becomes a great photo-ready item when you spread it out.
The design is up to you, so have fun showing off your personality or matching with your friends.
Deco Gun Megaphone
While it can’t be used to project your voice over a distance, if you just want to make an adorable-looking megaphone, why not try making a deco-gun megaphone? Take a bubble gun sold at 100-yen shops and wrap it with a clear file cut into a megaphone shape, then secure it in place.
After that, decorate it with things like party garlands and logo stickers, and you’re done! It’s easier to make than it looks, so find a bubble gun you like and give it a try.
If you adhere the clear file firmly, it’ll be secure when you carry it around.
Glowing Colorful Megaphone
@ao_0927_san I made a cute new-visual megaphone. I drew the materials. If there’s demand for how to make it, I might post it.#amptakTranslation#IWantToBeOnTheRecommendations#IWantToGoViral#AMPTAK
♪ Original song – Aosaki – Aosaki
The role of a megaphone is to carry your voice over a distance, but if you want it to stand out even more as a cheering item, why not make a light-up megaphone? You can buy megaphones, but they’re also easy to make yourself using items like clear file folders.
With this idea, you can cut a clear file, shape it into a megaphone, and glue it around a penlight.
If you add some tasteful decoration to the clear file, it’ll look cute even when it’s not lit up, making it a fun accessory to carry around.

Cute decorated cheer sticks really boost the spirit for a sports day, don’t they? If you make them in colors close to your team’s, they’ll brighten up the event and help everyone cheer in unity.
Try decorating with chenille stems and beads to add flair.
Waving them to the fight song will surely liven things up.
They’ll also make for wonderful, memorable group photos.
Make your own decorated cheer sticks to lift the mood and enjoy a fun sports day!

Deco Handy Fan
https://www.tiktok.com/@hchan_912/video/7385429274972474642Introducing the perfect deco handheld fan for a sports festival where everyone’s spirits become one.
Gather sparkly rhinestone stickers, beads, tweezers, and glue, and let’s make a decorated handheld fan.
Tweezers are especially handy for placing tiny stickers and help the process go smoothly.
The way you arrange the stickers will change the overall look of the fan.
We recommend mixing and matching your favorite colors as you stick them on.
Decorating it with your favorite idol or character in an original style makes it even more fun.
If everyone carries matching fans, it’s sure to boost the excitement!
