[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.

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!

Bouquet made with paper plates and tissue paper

Here’s an idea for making a bouquet using a paper plate and tissue paper flowers.

You’ll need double-sided tape, glue, colored construction paper, lace paper doilies, a paper plate, and tissue paper.

First, fold the left and right sides of the lace doily to create a bouquet shape.

Next, attach the lace doily to the paper plate and add leaves made from construction paper.

Finally, glue crumpled balls of tissue paper to the top section of the lace doily, and you’re done! Adding a ribbon will make it look even more like a real bouquet.

Garland made with paper stripsNEW!

Let’s celebrate the children’s new beginnings with a cherry blossom garland! You’ll need construction paper strips measuring 30 cm × 2 cm and 20 cm × 2 cm.

First, accordion-fold both strips with a width of 5 cm per fold.

Then, change the mountain folds to valley folds and tuck them inward by about 0.5 cm.

Next, use a stapler to connect the ends of the two pieces: staple both ends 1 cm up from the bottom.

Make sure the sections you just folded into valleys gather toward the center when you join them.

Staple the remaining three mountain-fold sections at the same position, and also staple just below the creases at the five points where the mountain folds gather in the center.

Finally, flip the paper over to reverse the front and back, and your cherry blossom is complete! Make several and string them on a cord to finish the garland.

Wall displays made with childrenNEW!

Here’s an idea for a graduation project to make with the children.

Above an elementary school building, children holding balloons are flying.

The powerful phrase “Fly toward your dreams!” is also included.

How about having the children draw life-sized pictures of themselves and displaying them together with a paper-crafted elementary school? The balloons can be made from their favorite origami and added on later.

It’s a bright piece that will make everyone smile, evoking the image of children who have graduated and are thriving in their new places.

Cut a piece of cardboard into a square and carve out a stencil on the inside that shows only the tree trunk.

Then attach adhesive tape and place real cherry blossom petals on the sticky surface to create a cherry tree.

It will look like you’ve captured a spring landscape in a picture frame, making it perfect for decorating the wall at a kindergarten graduation ceremony.

If there’s a chance to take a walk with the children before graduation, why not pick up the petals that have fallen on the ground together and make it? It will surely become a wonderful memory.

Flowers made with paper tapeNEW!

Quick to make and adorable! Here’s an idea for flowers made with paper tape.

First, cut your favorite color of paper tape into short pieces.

Next, overlap and stick the two ends of each cut piece together to form a petal.

Use five of these parts to create a flower shape, then finish by attaching a rolled-up piece of yellow tissue paper in the center for the pistil.

You can switch up the petal and center colors, or use two colors for the petals—your arrangements can create all kinds of flower designs.

They’re easy to mass-produce in a short time, so this is also great if you want to make a flower field or a bouquet!
