Let’s handcraft decorations for the farewell party! A collection of heartfelt ideas (21–30)
Heart chain decoration
Just looking at heart shapes can lift your spirits, right? Try decorating the farewell party with heart-shaped ornaments.
Use origami and cut out heart shapes.
Make several with a thin outline left, then snip small cuts into the outlines to connect the hearts together.
A chain of linked hearts adds extra charm and festivity.
With these connected heart decorations, the person setting off into a new world is sure to feel bright and positive.
8 tear-and-make flower decorations
By tearing colored construction paper into various shapes, you can create a very lovely venue decoration.
Since you tear it by hand, the irregular look doesn’t seem like a mistake and actually comes across as artistic, which is really interesting.
By rolling it, stapling it, wrapping it around a straw, or pressing it against the back end of a felt-tip pen to crumple it, you can make several kinds of beautiful flowers.
Because colored construction paper feels somewhat thick, many people might never think to tear it—but that very quality creates a delightful texture.
Cute cherry blossoms made in 3D
In spring, cherry blossoms are unquestionably the best.
Let’s make a three-dimensional cherry blossom tree wall decoration using tissue paper.
Fold the tissue paper in an offset accordion, then twist it at the center where it’s folded.
On a backing sheet, draw the cherry tree trunk and branches with crayons, and place double-sided tape in the gaps between the branches.
Stick lots of the folded tissue paper onto the double-sided tape.
You can use a single color of tissue paper, but using two or more colors will add even more depth.
Give it a try and make your wall look beautifully festive.
A flower floating in midair
@lauren.lieser19 Easy diy floating flower photo backdrop💐I used a round backdrop stand with a fitted white cover, then cut faux flowers into individual stems and safety pinned each one to the fabric to make them look like they were floating. This project turned out even prettier than I had pictured! #photobackdrop#floatingflower#floralbackdrop#partydecor#graduationparty#partysetup#diyproject#creatorsearchinsights

You know the base frame with fabric stretched over it that’s used for embroidery? This idea uses an enlarged version of that, and you decorate it with flowers.
Because the base is big, it makes the flowers look like they’re floating in midair—so pretty! It works as a wall decoration on its own and would also be great as a photo spot.
You can use fresh flowers or handmade paper flowers.
If you design it to highlight the fabric on the base, it gives an elegant impression, and if you decorate it with an abundance of flowers, it creates a glamorous look.

Let’s decorate the farewell party with three-dimensional leaves to create an inviting atmosphere.
Decorations with green leaves feel fresh and are perfect for a celebratory occasion, don’t you think? Make lots of them and hang them on the wall—they’ll look lovely.
To make them, fold a sheet of construction paper in half and open it, then score lines at 1-centimeter intervals.
Fold it in half again and cut it into a leaf shape.
Open the paper and, starting from the center crease, accordion-fold toward the edge.
When you finish one side, accordion-fold the other side from the center in the opposite direction to complete it.
You can also make 3D flowers and display them together.
Easy garland you can make in 5 minutes
Elaborate decorations are lovely, but some of you might be thinking, “That looks hard.” Indoor decorations that you can make quickly feel more approachable, right? So let’s set the scene for a wonderful farewell party with a simple garland made by folding origami and attaching the pieces to a string.
Fold a sheet of origami paper in half to make a rectangle, then fold it in half again.
Open it up, and fold the tip toward the center crease.
Make many of these folded pieces by folding them in half again, and attach them to a string to complete the garland.
The method is simple, so even small children can join in.
You’ll be able to hold a farewell party decorated with items everyone made together.
Phalaenopsis orchids made with tsumami-zaiku (traditional folded-fabric craft)
Phalaenopsis orchids, which look like butterflies fluttering, are perfect flowers for celebratory occasions.
Decorations featuring phalaenopsis motifs can bring both poise and elegance to an interior.
Let’s express the orchid’s beautiful petals through tsumami-zaiku, which takes advantage of the soft texture of chirimen crepe fabric.
Tsumami-zaiku pieces, made by folding small squares of chirimen, possess a delicate quality.
That delicacy also conveys the feelings of the maker.
Displaying them on walls or message boards creates a festive, radiant atmosphere.
