[Graduation from Kindergarten] Ideas for Handmade Gifts to Give to Someone Special at Farewell Time

Colorful Coaster

It’s lovely to make original coasters with photos and enjoy tea while reminiscing.

Let’s prepare transparent origami paper and nano tape.

Since nano tape is water-resistant, it’s perfect for making coasters.

After sticking the transparent origami paper onto the nano tape, cut it to the size of the frame parts.

Cut a clear file into the shape of a coaster, then attach the frame parts around it, combining colors as you like.

Once you insert the photo, your coaster is complete, with the frame sparkling like a gemstone.

It’s also super cute as a display piece.

Small accessory box made from a milk carton

A colorful trinket box you can make from a milk carton! Here’s a great craft idea for a preschool graduation gift.

Open the milk carton and cut it into the shape of a small container.

Put your favorite paint colors on construction paper and slide the milk carton through the paint to create patterns.

Once dry, attach the paper to the inside surface and punch holes in the four corners.

On the back, glue colored construction paper of your choice, then fold it so it takes the shape of a small container.

Be sure to crease the corners well.

Thread a ribbon through the corner holes and tie it, and you’re done! Finger stamping also looks cute, so give it a try.

Pen holder made from construction paper

@maho.mama♬ Katakoto – sloppy dim

A pen holder made from drawing paper that can be used even in elementary school would make a delightful gift.

First, cut six square pieces out of the drawing paper.

Fold each piece to create creases horizontally and diagonally, then secure it with tape or glue so it doesn’t open, forming a triangular tube.

Fold the remaining five sheets in the same way, and glue the six triangular tubes together to form the pen holder.

Cut a piece of sturdy cardstock to match the shape of the base, glue it on, and you’re done.

If you like, decorating it with pompoms or ribbons would make it extra cute.

Handmade rosette

Perfect for preschool graduation keepsakes and special occasion gifts! Handmade spring-colored rosettes/corsages [Crafting] [DIY]

A rosette is a flower-shaped decoration made of ribbon or fabric that you wear on your chest.

Why not try making one by hand? It would be lovely for everyone to wear them to the kindergarten graduation ceremony.

For the outer decoration, prepare strips of masking tape folded in half and stick them in a circle around the edge of the backing.

Doubling the layer makes it even nicer.

For the main body, cut a circle from cardboard, wrap it with colored paper, and place it on the backing with the masking tape.

You could also add an initial or a name.

Pendant made of clay

Craft gift for graduation and special people 🌸: Thank You & Congratulations Pendant

Recommended as a graduation gift from kindergarten! How about making a pendant out of stone powder clay to say “Congratulations” and “Thank you”? First, prepare a round-cut photo or portrait, laminate it, and cut it out leaving a small margin.

Get some decorations you like, such as beads.

Next, knead the stone powder clay until the surface becomes soft and shape it into a pendant.

Apply wood glue to the back of the laminated photo and embed it in the center of the clay.

Then embed your favorite materials around it, and insert a paper clip with the end bent at 90 degrees into the side so a pendant ribbon can pass through.

Let it dry for about four days, tie on the ribbon, and it’s done!
