[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 for 10 years as a kindergarten teacher and for 7 years as an after-school childcare instructor, then took a post as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I also engaged in activities that shared Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational play, working with many children. Afterwards, through freelance writing, planning, and editing work at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and conveying ideas. Leveraging the perspective cultivated in educational settings and my experience as an editor, I aim to deliver practical information—focusing on fields related to music and children—that values both input and output. Hobbies include instruments, singing, handcrafts, toys, drawing, traditional play, the outdoors, books, DIY, and crafts. Special skill: 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.

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

Make it with felt and a hot glue gun! Here’s a cute flower corsage perfect for preschool graduates.

First, make the flower.

Prepare two colors of felt and cut them in half.

Fold each piece in half and glue the open edge with a hot glue gun.

On the side without glue, make cuts about 1 cm wide.

Glue the two colors together, then apply glue and roll them up to form the flower.

Next, make the clip part.

Attach double-sided tape to a ribbon and wrap it around the clip.

Finally, hot glue a circle of felt and the clip to the back of the flower, and you’re done!

Make it with fabric scraps! Here’s a corsage full of cute ribbons.

First, fold the left, right, top, and bottom edges of the scrap toward the center.

Gather pleats in the middle to form a ribbon shape.

Wrap your favorite color of embroidery thread around it about three times, tie it tightly in the center, and trim any excess thread.

Neaten the shape, and the ribbon is done.

Make more in the same way using various fabrics.

Adjust the number of pieces according to the size of the corsage you want to create.

Next, cut cardboard (or similar) to match the finished corsage image, and use a glue gun to adhere fabric to it.

Cover the back with fabric as well.

Wrap fabric around the pin, and finally attach the pin and the corsage with the glue gun to finish!

Make it with origami! Here’s a cute corsage idea.

Lightly fold a sheet of origami paper in half and cut out a vase shape.

From the back, attach transparent origami paper with double-sided tape.

Apply glue around the edges, stick it onto cardstock, then cut it out in a circle.

You’ll get a glossy, shiny vase.

Shift it slightly to the right and punch a hole at the top of the vase.

Thread artificial flowers through the hole to match the children’s ideas.

Tape the back with vinyl tape, attach a safety pin, and then add another layer of tape over it.

Write a message on the vase part, and it’s done! It’s also cute to put your child’s favorite stickers or drawings inside the vase, so I recommend it.
