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.

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.

Pop-up card that only needs a single cut
@an_hoiku_seisaku It turns into a pop-up card with just one cut! 😍 Easy to make and delightful to receive ❤️ Definitely give it a try ☺️#Childcare Crafting#Production VideoGraduation crafts (for preschool/kindergarten)#GraduationGiftFromKindergarten#Spring crafts#Graduation from kindergartenPop-up card#Sakura Production

Pop-up cards often seem complicated, with lots of cuts to make.
But with this idea, you can create one just by cutting a circle and leaving about 1 centimeter on the left and right uncut! All you need are rectangular sheets of construction paper for the base and the pop-up mechanism, plus cherry blossom pieces for decoration.
First, fold both the base and mechanism papers in half.
Then draw a large circle in the center of the mechanism paper and cut it out, leaving a small section on the left and right uncut.
Attach this to the base, and your pop-up card is complete.
Decorate the inside and outside of the circle with cherry blossoms and add a message to finish.

You can make it using just construction paper! This is a handmade idea for a card with photos that pop out.
You’ll use construction paper for the card base, the popping mechanism’s axis, and an accordion-folded strip to attach the photos.
In this idea, by adding a cross-shaped crease at the center of the mechanism’s axis and cleverly attaching the axis to the accordion-folded paper, the photos can be neatly stored inside.
The process is simple and doesn’t take much time.
Use your favorite colors of construction paper and your memorable photos to create a special handmade card!
