Handmade washi preschool graduation certificate

Handmade washi used for graduation certificates at Lalala Kodomoen in Kiryu, Gunma Prefecture

Making washi involves softening the fibers by boiling the bark of the source trees and pounding it with sticks, then whitening the color with bleach before breaking it down into pulp.

Next, a tool called a sugeta is used to form the mixture into flat sheets of paper.

It takes time and effort to produce even a single sheet of washi, which is precisely why it’s a perfect material for a commemorative preschool graduation certificate.

Once the washi is ready, decorate it with parts made from construction paper or similar materials to create a certificate that’s uniquely your own.

Every time you look at the graduation certificate, you’ll be reminded of the wonderful time everyone had making washi together.

Pop-up card

When you open the card, multiple hearts pop out.

Here’s how to make a card that’s sure to delight children who love heart shapes.

Draw a heart on construction paper, then draw several smaller hearts inside it.

Cut out the hearts with scissors, but there’s a key point: make your cuts so the heart shapes aren’t completely separated—don’t cut them all the way through.

Attach the heart-shaped construction paper to the card base.

Apply double-sided tape to the center and the tip of each heart slit.

This creates the pop-up mechanism.

Add a heartfelt message to finish.
