The bouquet-like design is adorable! Here’s an idea for a message card that looks festive even when flat.
At graduation ceremonies, you tend to have lots to carry, like diplomas and keepsakes.
How about making a slim, bouquet-shaped message card that’s easy to take in and out at times like that? You’ll need white construction paper or colored paper, scissors, glue, and flower templates.
There’s plenty of space to write your message, so you can also add photos or draw illustrations!

Let’s decorate message cards with colorful, warm brush lettering! This idea can be used for designing card covers and more.
You’ll need items like colored brush pens, dot pens, and ballpoint pens.
It can be hard to come up with illustrations from scratch, but by adapting this idea, you can create message cards with a bright and cute impression! Try incorporating it into message cards to celebrate children’s new beginnings.
Blooming! Cute message card
@saya_3kidsmama If you want to reinforce the stick, use chopsticks or a piece of thick paper/cardboard on the back! → If you use chopsticks, please be careful so that small children don’t get hurt ⚠️Message CardThank youLife with children#Production VideoNursery teacher / Childcare workerdrawing paperchildrenVoice Library

Turn a single flower into a message card! This is a recommended idea for teachers who want to make flower-themed message cards using colored construction paper.
Roll a strip of colored paper thinly to create the stem, then attach it to a cut-out flower-shaped message card.
Write your message and it’s complete! It’s simple yet has a fun twist, so kids are sure to love it.
Another nice touch is that you can display it by placing it in a flower vase.
Be sure to give these to the children!
A pop-up card with cherry blossoms jumping out
Let’s send the children off with a spring flower motif! This is a cute and festive message card made with baby pink construction paper or origami.
When you open the card, there’s an adorable decoration in the center that looks like a cluster of cherry blossoms, and adding cherry blossom petals to the corners will keep the decoration from looking plain and make it even more vibrant.
It would be nice to paste photos and write messages about the memories of the days you spent together.
Your feelings are sure to reach the children!
Diploma tube and kindergarten graduation certificate
Here’s an idea for a certificate tube and a preschool graduation certificate made from construction paper and similar materials.
This one shows how to make a flat certificate tube.
The surface of the tube features a gimmick that opens like turning a page, and you can place the graduation certificate inside.
Since the certificate will be inserted folded in thirds, please keep the fold lines in mind and plan accordingly as you make it.
Once it’s finished, we recommend mounting it on a cute backing sheet and handing it over as is.
It’s easy to hold, and when displayed, it creates a bright, festive impression.

Popup card
If you make the graduation certificate as a pop-up card, it will surely amaze them when you hand it over.
To begin with, a pop-up card is a card that reveals a mechanical element when opened.
They’re often given for birthdays and Christmas, right? Try creating it with that vibe.
Of course, the design is up to you, but you could, for example, have a background with the school drawn on the base and the graduation certificate popping out from there, or make it look like someone is holding the pop-up certificate.
Let’s start by researching how to build the mechanism.
Tri-fold with ribbon
A simple and cute trifold graduation certificate with a ribbon.
First, prepare a 15 cm × 12 cm sheet of paper.
Turn it sideways, draw lines to divide it into three equal sections, and make the creases.
Next, prepare a 14 cm × 11 cm piece of drawing paper and attach it to the sheet you just creased.
That completes the base of the graduation certificate.
After that, design the content, fold it into thirds again, tie a ribbon around it, and it’s done.
It has a simple structure, but the ribbon adds a festive touch and makes opening it exciting.
