Bouquet and heart-shaped message card

There are two types of kindergarten graduation certificates: the rolled type that goes into a tube and the booklet type that opens flat.
If you’re making the booklet style, how about incorporating this pop-out bouquet idea? It’s easy to make—just fold a paper bouquet made from colored construction paper in half and glue it to the base.
When you open the certificate, it’ll feel like you’re receiving a bouquet too, creating a bright and joyful experience.
Add some heart-shaped message cards around it to give it an extra special touch!
Make it with sweets! Candy bag

A candy bag that kids would be thrilled to receive! Here, we’re introducing a shoulder bag.
Use individually wrapped or small candies and start by making the bottom and sides of the bag.
Then add a flap, and attach a shoulder strap made by putting candies into clear film—and it’s done! Aim for a size about the same as a yellow kindergarten bag.
For the bottom of the bag, it’s best to use sturdy items like boxed sweets.
Use clear tape for the adhesive.
Mini bouquet of tulips
Let’s make colorful tulips using origami.
First, fold the paper into a “zabuton” base, then fold it into a triangle twice.
Next, squash the pocketed part into a square, and shape it into a tulip by folding the left and right corners.
Once the tulip is formed, slightly cut the bottom corner, insert a rolled stem, and attach leaves to finish.
Wrap each tulip individually, then arrange them together on the wall as a bouquet.
If you make them easy to remove, you can give them to the children as gifts at the end of the graduation ceremony.
Handmade with 100-yen shop materials!

Here’s an idea for a handmade file that can store message cards and regular cards.
Get a 2-ring album from a 100-yen shop.
Attach design paper to the front and back covers, and decorate the inside with paper and ribbons as well.
Since adding paper can make the album harder to fold, the key is to crease it firmly to set the shape.
Work carefully and neatly to prevent tearing or lifting.
Make cards sized to fit the binder and punch two holes in them.
Add photos full of memories and messages, and you’ll have a lovely album completed.
Amulet message
https://www.tiktok.com/@hii_hoiku_seisaku/video/7473478774923742482Charms inspired by Disney characters, which are very popular with children, are likely to become lifelong treasures.
The method is simple! Fold a sheet of origami paper in half, then fold along the crease.
After folding it into thirds, tuck the origami into the pocket to secure it and form the shape.
Place a message card inside, punch a hole in the center, thread a string or pipe cleaner through, and it’s done.
Try making it with gratitude in mind while imagining your favorite Disney characters like Mickey, Donald Duck, or Daisy.
Clover message card

Love Letter – YOASOBI
A graduation card using a four-leaf clover that brings good luck is a perfect design for a new beginning.
When you open the graduation card, you can see a three-dimensional clover.
First, take green construction paper cut into a square and fold it into a triangle three times.
Cut it with scissors as if drawing a semicircle on the folded paper, then unfold it completely.
Crease it and fold it into a heart shape, write a message inside to someone important who has supported you, and it’s complete.
This is recommended when you want to make a group gift with multiple people.
thanks tag
Let’s make thank-you tags using clay.
First, mix two colors of clay to create a marbled pattern.
Once you roll it flat, use a cutter to cut out your favorite shapes.
Next, poke a hole at the top with a straw and press in a cookie stamp.
Then embed your favorite beads, thread a string through the hole, and you’re done! Thank-you tags are usually used as accents for gift wrapping, but they also make great keychains.
You can make them with air-dry clay from the 100-yen shop, so give it a try!
Cards drawn using only dot pens

♬ Really Like You – Gyubin
If you’re about to embark on a new chapter and want to draw an original illustrated message but aren’t confident in your drawing skills, a handwritten message card using a dot pen is a great option.
Its handmade warmth makes it perfect as a gift to express your gratitude.
Because the pen tip is rounded, lightly pressing the pen at the start and end of strokes gives your writing a pop, soft feel.
If you add random dots in various colors around the text, it might look like soap bubbles—cute and charming.
Message bouquet
https://www.tiktok.com/@hii_hoiku_seisaku/video/7470135662969195784A bouquet gift filled with gratitude will surely make a wonderful memory.
Prepare origami paper and fold it twice into a square and twice into a triangle.
Next, shape it by tucking the paper inward along the creases.
Sketch a heart shape with a pencil, then cut along the outline from the top.
Open it up, and you have a cute flower.
Roll green origami into a tube to make the stem, and attach it to the flower with a message written on the inside.
Wrap the flower with floral wrapping paper and construction paper, add a ribbon, and create a lovely bouquet filled with appreciation.
Pencil holder as a preschool graduation gift
A recommended gift for kindergarten graduates! It’s a pencil holder made using an empty candy box.
Cut the empty candy box to your preferred height, then cover the sides by pasting torn pieces of origami paper.
Glue decorative pom-poms around the rim of the box to make it cute.
Once they become first graders, they’ll have homework and use pencils at home every day, so a lovely pencil holder will lift their spirits.
Try designing it to match the image of the graduate.
When you give it as a present, attach a message card with a clip!
