Recommended Decorations for Graduation Ceremonies! A Collection of DIY Wall and Decoration Ideas (1–10)
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.
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.
Easy! Giant Flower
When it comes to graduation ceremony wall decorations, flowers are a must.
Here’s how to make giant flowers that look luxurious with minimal materials.
The main material is B4 construction paper cut into long strips 5 cm wide; paper from a 100-yen shop is perfectly fine.
You’ll also need double-sided tape, thick paper/cardboard, string, a hole punch, and scissors.
Connect three of the narrow paper strips end to end, then use double-sided tape to form the strip into an infinity (∞) shape.
Make four of these and stack them together.
Finally, attach them to a piece of thick paper with a hole punched in it for hanging on the wall, and you’re done.

Let’s create a rainbow collage and use it as a wall decoration.
First, tear seven colors of origami paper into fairly large pieces.
Once you’ve torn them, paste them onto a backing sheet, one color at a time.
Finally, attach cotton at both ends to resemble clouds, and you’re done.
It’s easier if you lightly sketch a curved guide line with a pencil first to help you form a smooth arc.
Give it a try!
Flower wall made with colored construction paper
https://www.tiktok.com/@hoikushisatomi/video/7337999958697594130This is a wall decoration made simply by stapling long, narrow strips of colored construction paper.
The simple shape is beautiful in its own way.
First, prepare longer and shorter strips of colored paper.
Stack a long strip and a short strip together and staple them.
Make eight of these, then staple the neighboring petals to each other.
Finally, glue a circle of colored paper in the center to finish.
Using different colors for the long and short strips looks very pretty, and using light and dark shades also looks great.
Give it a try!
Cherry blossom display
Let’s make a big cherry blossom tree at the graduation ceremony venue to celebrate the graduating children! Use construction paper or origami to create cherry blossom petals, and brown construction paper to make the tree trunk.
Then, simply arrange and attach them creatively in the most eye-catching spot at the venue, and the cherry blossom tree is complete! You could also turn it into a collaborative project by having current students or the graduates’ parents make the petals, so everyone can work together to celebrate the graduating children.
Let’s enjoy the cherry blossoms indoors or outdoors and help the graduates spend their special day feeling refreshed and uplifted!
paper fan
A paper fan made by accordion-folding construction paper and gluing it into a circle.
It’s a classic item for birthday parties, but with a bit of creativity, it can be used for all kinds of events, which is why it’s so popular.
Try making them in different sizes and colors of paper to create a festive decoration.
Since graduation ceremonies are in spring, you could use pink paper to make cherry blossom shapes, or add congratulatory letters on top.
Be sure to use paper fans to create beautiful decorations!
