[Graduation Ceremony] A collection of handmade corsage ideas you can make with your child

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.

Graduation ceremonies are special days to celebrate children’s growth.

How about handcrafting a corsage to brighten their chest? There are plenty of ideas you can make with familiar materials like tissue paper, felt, and origami.

Choose the children’s favorite colors and customize with beads and ribbons to create a one-of-a-kind corsage tailored to each child.

For preschool and kindergarten teachers, it can also be a warm time that brings back memories with the children as you make them together.

Here, we’ll introduce handmade corsage ideas perfect for graduation ceremonies.

[Felt] Small Corsage

How to make a small corsage (felt) corsage

[Felt] Small Corsage

Felt is so cute! Here’s a recommended craft for making corsages for kindergarten graduates.

You will need: a strip of cardstock measuring 0.6 × 3 cm with marks every 3 mm, a piece of felt measuring 3.7 × 3 cm, a strip of cardstock measuring 0.6 × 15 cm, a piece of felt measuring 4 × 15 cm, a hot glue gun, a brooch pin, and so on.

First, fold the smaller felt piece in half and attach the cardstock.

Make cuts up to just before the marks on the cardstock.

Roll it up while applying hot glue.

Make the larger felt piece the same way.

Offset the felt layers and attach them, then start from the end of the roll you made first and glue so that the bottom becomes flat.

Glue felt to the bottom and trim it to match.

Apply glue to a piece of felt cut to the same size as the bottom and attach a brooch pin, then stick it to the bottom to finish!

Flat ribbons transform into three-dimensional roses! This corsage idea is great because it comes together with simple steps.

You’ll need 3 cm-wide ribbon, a thick sewing needle, a lighter, scissors, and an awl.

The process is straightforward, but be careful to use the tools correctly.

If you’re a teacher planning to make these with children, it’s best to work one-on-one with each child.

The roses alone are lovely, but try arranging them with lace or pearls for an extra touch!

Gerbera corsage

A charming corsage that links the language of flowers with heartfelt feelings.

Gerberas carry many positive meanings such as “hope,” “optimism,” and “always moving forward.” They’re the perfect flowers for a kindergarten graduation, as children take flight into the future with hope.

Each color also has its own meaning, so try creating yours while reflecting the children’s personalities and the message you want to convey.

Artificial flowers alone are adorable, but combining them with tulle or ribbon makes them even more glamorous!

Handmade corsage—perfect for matching with your kids!

https://www.tiktok.com/@ashumama_kosodate/video/7477505459533008145

It would be lovely for parents and children to wear matching ones! Here’s an idea for a beautiful corsage that combines organza ribbon and artificial flowers.

You will need two pieces of felt cut into 4 cm circles, one circular piece of thick paper, a safety pin, scissors, double-sided tape, wired ribbon, artificial flowers, decorative parts, and glue.

When working with the wired ribbon and safety pin, make it together with your child while taking care to avoid pricking fingers.

Choosing and attaching the decorative parts sounds fun too!
