[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.
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.

[Graduation Ceremony] A Collection of Handmade Corsage Ideas You Can Make with Kids (41–50)

Paper Cord Corsage

How to make a corsage from paper cord: easy to do #handmade #DIY #paperCord #corsage #remake

Paper Cord Corsage

Let’s make a corsage using paper cord, which is often handy in crafts.

How do we use the paper cord? For the petals.

Unravel the twisted paper cord and make use of its wrinkles as you work.

First, create the flower center by wrapping yarn around a piece of thick paper, just like when making a pom-pom.

Using two colors of yarn makes it look more vibrant and is highly recommended.

Once the center is done, glue the paper-cord petals around it, balancing their placement.

After it dries, spread them out and shape them into a flower.

Finally, attach a brooch finding, and you’re done!

Pencil holder as a preschool graduation gift

Many preschools likely prepare gifts from current students to those who are graduating.

How about incorporating a pencil holder craft that makes a perfect graduation present? Use cylindrical paper tubes, empty snack containers, or paper cups, and decorate the surface with torn-paper collage to create a colorful pencil holder.

By using various types of paper—construction paper, origami paper, wrapping paper, or tissue paper—children can enjoy the different textures of tearing.

Finish it off by edging with felt balls and adding a message card.

[Fabric and Beads] Chic Corsage

Easy corsage making for entrance and graduation ceremonies

[Fabric and Beads] Chic Corsage

This is a corsage with a sophisticated feel that you can make using two pieces of fabric and some beads.

First, fold each piece of fabric in half and sew along the bottom edge; when you finish sewing, pull the thread to gather it for a crinkled effect.

Next, stitch the two pieces together while shaping them like a flower, and sew on the beads.

Finally, glue the corsage base in place to finish.

Since the steps involve only stitching and gluing, once you get the hang of it, you’ll be able to make many smoothly.

Combining a glossy fabric like satin with lace creates contrast and results in a stylish, atmospheric finish.
