Let’s handcraft decorations for the farewell party! A collection of heartfelt ideas (1–10)
tulle pom-pom
These fluffy pom-poms make decorations that give any room a festive look.
They’re made with tulle, a lightweight fabric with a sheer feel and a fine hexagonal mesh.
Shaping the fabric into a round form can seem tricky, but using a pom-pom maker—available even at 100-yen shops—makes it easy.
You wind the tulle around the pom-pom maker, and the key is to wrap it loosely.
Unlike yarn pom-poms, where you pack the strands tightly, tulle looks better when wrapped softly, creating an airy finish.
Once they’re done, attach a string to hang them, or stick them onto a message board to create decorations perfect for a farewell party.

Bitter Vacation – Mrs. GREEN APPLE
If you could freely shape it, it seems like your ideas for decorating a room would really expand, right? Here’s a decoration that could make that wish come true, using an accordion-fold.
Prepare about four colors of construction paper—red, yellow, blue, and so on.
Cut each sheet into strips and glue them together end to end.
Then fold the glued strip in an accordion style to create a long, freely movable rainbow.
You can attach it over an entrance in the shape of a rainbow or make a circle and stick it on the wall—your creativity will broaden how you can express it.
A rainbow design is also perfect for celebrating people who are about to embark on a new chapter in their lives.
Heart ornament
Cute decorations you can make with a single sheet of origami! Here are some ideas for heart-shaped ornaments.
This is a great idea for anyone who wants to decorate for a farewell party but finds it hard to gather materials.
All you need is origami paper, a stapler, and scissors—no special supplies required.
It’s perfect for making the venue look bright and adorable! How about expressing your gratitude with heart decorations? Give it a try!
Balloon ceiling decoration
Want to float balloons and decorate the ceiling in vibrant colors? In that case, all you need is balloons and masking tape to easily create a fun space like that.
Inflate your favorite balloons, then stick a loop of masking tape to the very top of the balloon, opposite the opening.
After that, just attach it to the ceiling! While being careful about lights and other fixtures on the ceiling, try sticking up lots of balloons.
If you stick masking tape to the sides of the balloons, you can cover the walls with balloons too!
Pom-pom flower ball
Fluffy flower balls made from origami are perfect for decorating festive occasions! Fold small sheets of origami paper, snip them to create slender petal shapes, then cut at the base and curl each petal one by one.
After that, simply attach each curled piece in order onto a single base piece.
It might be tricky at first to keep the balance as you go, but once you get the hang of it, shaping it into a sphere becomes so much fun! You can use the flat side to stick it on a wall, or join two flat sides together to form a ball and hang it—it looks lovely either way.
