[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.
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.

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.

[Fabric Loop] Japanese-style Corsage

How about making a festive corsage perfect for a graduation ceremony using fabric loop cords? Cut fabric scraps into narrow strips, sew them right sides together into a tube with a sewing machine, turn them right side out, and insert a core inside to create fabric loop cords.

Then, stitch the cords together while shaping them into a flower, and finish by decorating the center with beads or similar embellishments.

Paper corsages also have a lovely handmade warmth, but if you use fabric, it will stay beautiful for longer and can be displayed at home.

Tulip corsages that shine at graduation ceremonies.

They’re brimming with a handmade feel, and of course, filled with love.

The key is to start by making the ribbon.

It involves delicate work, but it’s very rewarding.

Then fold the tulips as well.

The steps are simple, so it would be great to fold them together with the children.

[Tatami-beri] Rose Corsage

[Tatami-beri] Rose Corsage

For those who want to try an unusual material, I recommend tatami-beri.

Tatami-beri is the fabric edging attached to the borders of tatami mats.

In fact, it’s sold on its own at craft stores, and the lineup is quite extensive.

First, look for tatami-beri in colors and patterns you like.

Then, by wrapping and gluing it with a hot glue gun, you can make a corsage with a rose motif.

If you want to emphasize the rose image, choose tatami-beri with a red base.

By the way, tatami-beri is pronounced “tatami-beri.”

[Ribbon] Name Rosette

Spend a special day with accessories that have a lovely, noble flair.

For a corsage to wear at a kindergarten graduation ceremony, a name rosette is highly recommended.

A rosette is a rose-shaped chest decoration that originated in Europe.

It’s made by sewing or gluing together fabric and ribbons.

If you print the child’s name in the center, it can also be enjoyed as a keepsake.

For a more luxurious finish, try sewing on beads or sequins.
