[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!

Garland made with paper strips

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.

Giant paper flower

Giant Paper Flowers – Easy DIY! [Paper Flower] How to Make Giant Paper Flowers

Giant paper flower

Giant paper flowers with striking, oversized blooms are perfect as a graduation ceremony backdrop to celebrate a new beginning.

Let’s make them using five large and five medium petals, plus three small petals.

Prepare a base by cutting a large circle, then, working from the outside in, glue the petals in order—large, medium, then small—shaping the flower as you go while keeping the balance.

To finish, roll a strip of yellow paper with small slits cut into it to form the stamens, and glue it in the center.

For the petals, curling the tips with a pencil to create rounded edges adds elegance and a three-dimensional look—highly recommended!

Origami [Cherry Blossom Petal Wreath]

Cherry blossom petal wreath

Make it with origami! Here’s an idea for a cherry blossom petal wreath.

All you need are eight quarter-size sheets of origami paper and glue.

The cherry blossom petals made from origami look adorably connected! Using just one shade of pink is nice, but it’s also lovely to mix in petals made from light pink or white origami paper.

Using traditional Japanese-patterned paper can change the vibe even more, so it’s highly recommended.

It’s a perfect idea to decorate your room wall or entryway!

[Spring Wall Decorations] How to Make Cherry Blossoms

cherry blossoms

Cherry blossoms are perfect for graduation season and can be easily made with origami, so teachers and children can create them together.

The bright, room-decorating cherry blossoms will help the children feel the moment of their departure.

They also make an ideal motif to highlight the main wall display, so we recommend making them alongside other decorations.

Simply changing the colors or sizes will result in a visually vibrant wall decoration.

Let’s make lots together and brighten up the graduation ceremony.

Three-dimensional flowers made from colored construction paper

Three-dimensional flowers made from your favorite color construction paper have a soft, vibrant charm and are truly captivating.

Cut circles out of the colored paper you like and layer and glue them to form the petals.

For the center of the flower, use tissue paper, buttons, or beads to add dimension.

You can also curl the tips of the petals with a pencil to give the flowers a more sumptuous look.

It’s also recommended to make lots of flowers to create a flower-field effect or turn them into ceiling decorations to brighten up the venue for the preschool graduation ceremony.
