Ideas for Instagram-worthy moments at a high school culture festival: crowd-pleasing photo spots (51–60)

Colorful and cute! Here are some ideas for paper balls.

Paper balls are decorations made by cutting and pasting paper.

They’re great for decorating classrooms and hallways! The mood changes depending on the color combinations, so you can get creative with arrangements.

You’ll need twenty 5 cm-diameter circles cut from origami paper and some tape.

It’s best to use double-sided colored origami.

If you want to hang them from the ceiling or walls, thread a string or yarn through them.

Mysterious Mirror

Get lost in an unreal world! Here’s an idea for a mysterious mirror.

Normally, with a mirror, light reflects off the surface so you can see your own reflection.

But this mysterious mirror not only prevents you from seeing yourself—it also has a trick that shows someone else on the other side of the mirror.

Visitors are sure to have a blast taking photos with friends and family! When creating the decorations, it’s a good idea to mark where the person being photographed should stand.

Cardboard art

Cardboard, which is indispensable for logistics, is also a versatile material used for crafts.

Let’s use cardboard to create decorations for the school festival! There are many kinds of art made from cardboard these days, so why not pick an idea you like and give it a try? You could make small decorations and coordinate them with other items, or create a large, eye-catching sculpture.

Who knows—your decoration itself might even become a popular photo spot!

Dragon Ball

How about setting up a photo spot that recreates the world of Dragon Ball, one of Japan’s most iconic manga and anime? The key is which scene you choose to capture—using moments that convey power and dynamism will be easy for visitors to grasp.

Let people step into the world through photos of scenes like unleashing a powerful technique or freely flying through the sky, so they can experience what the characters feel.

Memorable scenes often come with memorable lines, so including the dialogue alongside the artwork could further enhance the sense of the series’ world.

When you think of a bouquet, you usually think of flowers, but here’s a fun, two-birds-with-one-stone idea: make one out of sweets so it looks delightful and fills your tummy! Using longer treats adds dimension.

If you want to showcase smaller items, use bamboo skewers or similar to arrange them so they stand out.

It’s perfect for Instagram and would make a great prize for a school festival booth that kids and adults alike will love.

Be sure to choose candies with colorful packaging!

As the name suggests, a waffle with a stick like an ice cream bar is a “waffle bar.” It’s an award-worthy idea of a sweet that lets you eat a waffle without getting your hands dirty.

One of the appeals of these waffle bars is that you can enjoy all sorts of decorations—chocolate sauce, whipped cream, almond chips, and more.

Line up a few with colorful looks, and you’ve got an Instagrammable scene! You can almost picture buyers raising their phones to snap a shot.

The more color variations, the better.
