[Non-food] Cultural festival attractions: from classroom exhibits to stage events

Photo spot

A great attraction you can set up anywhere on campus is a photo spot.

Create a place that makes people want to take pictures in front of dazzling decorations or eye-catching objects.

It’s also a good idea to use themes of friendship and romance to help classmates and couples grow closer.

By encouraging people to post their vibrant photos on social media, you’ll make the school festival even more exciting.

Prepare colorful lighting and illustrations to create a popular photo spot! Why not try an attraction that every student in the school can enjoy?

Cardboard art

[Cardboard Sculpture] Beginner ② Crocodile — Sculptor Taki Tamada teaches you all her sculpting methods

Cardboard, commonly used for delivering packages, is also excellent as a crafting material thanks to its sturdy structure.

Depending on your approach, it’s possible to create fairly large objects.

You can enjoy a variety of techniques: leveraging its original linear form to bond pieces together or slot them with cuts, or first crushing it to soften it and then assembling it to create curves.

A display featuring multiple large cardboard objects would likely make quite a strong impression.

Another appeal is how photogenic they are—you’ll want to post them on social media.
