A card for group messages
https://www.tiktok.com/@peacefulheart.yun/video/7066401694292217090Untie the ribbon and open the card, and you’ll find lots of balloons connected to a basket.
You can write a message on each balloon, so it works perfectly as a group message card.
Plus, this card can also be displayed like a photo frame! If you hand them out in advance, children can write messages to each other at the graduation ceremony and it encourages interaction with friends, and it will also make everyone want to take lots of photos.
The finished message card will surely become a treasure filled with memories.
We’d love to help make that happen through this craft!
Making gifts for kindergarten graduates
At graduation ceremonies, many people will likely take lots of memorable photos.
How about making a photo frame that’s as simple as cutting and gluing cardboard? Just cut cardboard to the size of the frame, layer another piece with the inside cut out so the photo shows, and glue them together—done! Painting the cardboard or adding decorative parts like beads and stickers will make it even cuter.
Rather than giving just the frame, it will be appreciated even more if you include a memorable photo in it when you present it.

small accessory case
A small organizer made from a familiar material—a milk carton—is practical as a graduation keepsake and perfect for everyday use.
Cut the milk carton vertically in half, make slits at the corners, and remove the unnecessary parts.
Be careful not to cut off the wrong sections.
Glue fabric to the outside of the finished base.
For the inside of the organizer, cover it with paper backed with fabric.
Secure everything with clothespins, and once it’s firmly set, your small organizer is complete.
Origami bouquet
An origami bouquet is a perfect graduation gift that can be displayed as a lasting, unfading memory.
First, fold each flower one by one, making crisp creases as you go.
Be careful not to cut the wrong parts with your scissors.
It might also be fun to vary the sizes of the origami paper, change the colors, and add your own creative touches.
Glue many flowers together to make a single bouquet, and try adding a warm message to go along with your gift.
Flower-Filled Pop-Up Card
Use a craft punch to save time! Here’s an idea for a floral pop-up card.
Fold a sheet of construction paper in half and make vertical cuts from the folded edge.
Use each cut as the base and crease an inverted triangle to complete the pop-up mechanism.
Open the sheet with the mechanism and glue it onto a base, then cover the triangles with flowers made using a craft punch—and you’re done! If you’re incorporating it into a preschool graduation certificate, writing a graduation message on the triangular sections would be lovely.
Packed with surprises! Congratulations card
When you open the card, various pop-up elements appear.
The first page features colorful balloons that can be used for group messages.
Open it further and you’ll find motifs of a pencil, an eraser, an album, a blackboard, a bouquet, and a graduation certificate.
For children about to graduate from kindergarten, it’s a piece that helps them imagine the elementary school they’ll soon attend.
Each section allows you to attach photos or write messages, so why not add one to accompany the graduation certificate? You can make everything with colored construction paper.
A pop-up card with a bouquet that sprouts up
When you lift the ribbon on the bouquet, a character pops out from among the flowers! The glamorous bouquet and delightful mechanism will further heighten the excitement of children celebrating their graduation from kindergarten.
Cut a vertical slit in the center of the bouquet’s base, then set a character with a tab attached to its back.
Thread the tab through the slit so it appears on the surface, and glue on the ribbon to complete the mechanism! For the flowers, it’s best to punch out identical shapes using a craft punch.
Choose the flower colors to match the character that appears, creating a unified look.
