[Graduation Ceremony] A Collection of Ideas for Handmade Bouquets and Floral Decorations to Brighten the Walls

10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.
20 years of experience as a nursery teacher / kindergarten teacherhiyoko sensei
I’m Hiyoko-sensei, a former nursery school teacher from Hyogo Prefecture. Ever since I was five, my dream was to become a childcare worker, and before I knew it, 20 years had passed since I achieved that dream. Through singing and playing with the children, I kept working with the spirit of someone in their twenties, even as I increasingly felt my physical limits year by year (haha). From here on, I’d like to share helpful information carefully and thoughtfully, drawing on my on-site experience.

Here are bouquet ideas to brighten the wall décor for your preschool graduation ceremony.

Using familiar materials like tissue paper, origami paper, and yarn, handmade bouquets can make the venue feel festive while conveying warm wishes to the graduating children.

When you carefully craft flowers one by one and tie them together, you’ll create a one-of-a-kind, special wall decoration.

We’ve gathered a variety of ideas—from projects that current students can work on together, to more dimensional decorations crafted by teachers.

Please use these as inspiration to create a memorable graduation ceremony!

Cosmos flowers made with tissue paper

Cosmos flower decorations are perfect for wall displays and venue decor at graduation ceremonies.

They’re fun to make together with the children, so please give it a try.

After folding tissue paper into a 16-panel accordion, clip it and cut through the center.

If you make small cuts in the petal area and the center with scissors, the cosmos petals will look more vibrant when opened.

Secure the center with floral wire or a stapler, then open the petals, shape them, and you’re done.

When opening the tissue paper, do it slowly while shaping it as you go to create delicate, beautiful cosmos petals.

Roses made with tissue paperNEW!

So realistic! Let’s make large roses that will make your wall stand out.

First, stack 7–8 sheets of tissue paper and fold them in thirds to create creases.

Next, use those creases to accordion-fold the stack.

Remove just one sheet of tissue paper, then tie the center of the remaining accordion-folded stack with a rubber band.

Round off the corners on both ends, and cut small slits along the fold ridges on both sides.

After that, open the tissue paper sheets one by one to form the rose shape.

For the rose’s center, cut the single sheet you set aside into thirds, then roll one piece from the edge to create the center.

Fluffy and cute! Let me show you how to make paper pom-poms.

That said, the steps are the same as regular paper pom-poms: accordion-fold, tie the center with a string, and open the tissue layers one by one.

The key points are to stack eight sheets of tissue paper cut in half and make fine accordion folds about 7–8 mm wide, and when lifting each layer, raise it firmly from the base.

Keeping these two tips in mind will give you dense, carnation-like pom-poms!
