Gift-shaped card
Let’s try making a cute present box–shaped message card with a colorful ribbon.
It would be wonderful if the recipient is delighted to receive it.
Anyone can make it easily if you have colorful origami paper, so give it a try.
If you have two-tone paper with different colors on each side, it’s even easier—so first, prepare your favorite color paper.
We’ll fold it into a square present box shape here.
As you fold, write your message inside the box.
Once you’ve added your message, close up the box.
And you’re done—a charming message card with a bow that pops out like a ribbon!
Message cards made with stickers and masking tape
These days, 100-yen shops sell a wide variety of cute stickers and masking tapes.
Here’s an idea to make a message card using those stickers and washi tapes.
Small cards are cute, but if you use postcard size, it looks more festive and gives you plenty of space to write your message.
You can decorate it with flowers to suit a preschool graduation, or add names and messages with hiragana stickers.
It’s an idea that’s easy to customize in many ways.
A card with a heart-shaped flower that opens
When you open this card, you’ll see a row of colorful heart-shaped flowers.
The hearts aren’t just regular hearts—they each open up, and you can write a message inside.
It’s very easy to make: simply cut around the edge of folded construction paper in a rounded shape to create heart petals.
You can adjust the number of heart flowers based on the size of the card and the messages you want to include, making it easy to customize.
Try decorating the base with craft punches or masking tape as well.

Flip-book style pop-up card
When you pull the strip of paper attached to the cute bear’s face, the cards flip open one after another—here’s how to make this fun flip-card.
Prepare four sheets of cardstock in the shape of a face; draw the shape on just one sheet, stack the cardstock, secure it with masking tape, and cut them all at once so they don’t shift and the shapes match perfectly.
Crease a rectangular strip of paper, then layer the face-shaped cardstock pieces onto it.
The trick is to make firm, crisp folds on the rectangular pull tab.
Use a ruler to fold neatly and securely.
Try making it with children’s faces or favorite characters.
A message card that can stand up for display
Of course you can use it as a message card, but here’s an idea that lets you display it just like a photo frame as it is.
The card is filled with little gimmicks and messages inside, and you can insert a photo into the part that becomes the cover.
After enjoying the messages, fold it so the cover faces front and it will stand up for display.
If you put a memorable photo on the cover and display it, it might even give strength to the children as they set off from kindergarten to their new environments.
In conclusion
We introduced handmade farewell card ideas. Message cards with various motifs—like clovers, pandas, and cherry blossoms—make wonderful gifts for conveying your feelings to children. Try incorporating elements that spark excitement each time the card is opened, such as pop-up mechanisms or sliding gimmicks. For the special milestone of graduation from kindergarten, a card made with heartfelt care is sure to become a cherished treasure for the children.
