Endless with a single sheet of paper
The mysterious endless card that you can open again and again makes a strong impression and is a great idea for bringing a smile to the recipient’s face.
It’s easy to make if you have patterned origami paper, stickers, ribbon, or beads, so it’s also recommended as a craft to do with children.
On a 20 cm square sheet of paper, score fold lines every 5 cm both vertically and horizontally.
Using a ruler to make firm lines is the key! Cut out the center section, then fold so it opens and flips back and forth—this completes the base.
Attach a photo divided into four parts, add a pocket for a card, and you’re done! Decorate with ribbons and stickers as you like.
An Album of Memories Transcribed by Ear
Here’s an idea for children graduating from kindergarten to say “thank you” to their beloved teacher: play the nostalgic song “Omoide no Album” by ear and convey their feelings through a musical performance.
The video shows a piano, but it’s also fun to try other instruments.
Even without sheet music, watching them do their best to play the notes they remembered by ear is incredibly endearing and shows how much they’ve grown.
If you compile photos and memories into an album set to the music, your gratitude naturally takes shape—highly recommended.
More important than playing perfectly is putting your heart into it.
The time spent taking on this challenge together as parent and child will also become a priceless graduation memory.
Lovely message cards you can make with 100-yen shop items!
A handmade message card for a teacher is best when it conveys that warm, handmade touch.
Still, if you’re not confident about crafting and are wondering what to do, here’s a recommended idea.
You can easily make a lovely card using supplies from a 100-yen shop.
Use adhesive tape glue to attach your favorite patterned paper to the base card.
Trim off any excess.
Then, arrange and stick on washi tape and flake stickers while checking the balance—and you’re done! Write your message with your child, putting your feelings into it.

Make it with patterned origami or construction paper! Let’s create a 3D message card! You’ll need colored construction paper, patterned origami or wrapping paper, double-sided tape, scissors, and so on.
In the video, a nice touch is shown: attaching a sticker printed with the child’s name to a tag and adding it to the ribbon design of the message card.
It would be exciting to stick them up at the venue and then have the teacher hand them to the children after the graduation ceremony.
Give it a try!
Papercut greeting card
@kiritelier How to make a papercut greeting card. This time it’s a bi-fold greeting card. By adding a papercut design to one side, it gives it a lace-like feel. Just insert paper in your favorite color and it’s easy to make. Simply changing the color of the inserted paper changes the mood, so you can switch it up to suit the occasion. Full details are available on YouTube! ▶︎ KRITELIER#LoveHandmadePaper Artist#papaercuttingEaster#bookmarkGreeting cardHow-to videoMaking-of video#artofpaperHow to make

Because it’s a once-in-a-lifetime occasion, you want to create a special feel! Here’s an idea recommended for teachers who think so.
On white drawing paper, start by sketching a lace-style design.
Once the sketch is done, cut out the motifs with a craft knife.
Finally, pair it with your favorite colored construction paper, and you’re done! The key is the attention to detail and warmth that you can’t get from ready-made products.
It’s best to start making it with enough time before the graduation ceremony.
Be sure to try it on this occasion.
