Cherry blossom decorations are essential for graduation scenes.

There are many ways to make them, but here’s an easy idea using construction paper.

First, cut out circular pieces from the paper.

Fold each circle in half, then fold it into thirds.

Draw a petal shape on the fan-shaped piece, cut it out with scissors, and when you unfold it, you’ll have a cherry blossom.

However, as it is, it will have six petals, so make a slit between two petals and overlap them to remove one petal.

Doing this also gives the blossom a three-dimensional look.

These are items you can enjoy in many ways: display them as-is on a table, turn them into lights by adding a bulb, or hang them from the ceiling or wall like a garland.

Inflate a small balloon about the size of a water balloon, then wrap your favorite color of embroidery thread or yarn—coated with glue—around it over and over.

Once the glue dries, pierce the balloon through the gaps in the thread with a needle, pop it, and remove it to finish.

If you want to make it a light, place a light inside; if you want to hang it as a decoration, just thread a string through it.

Balloon ceiling decoration

Boost the party vibe: How to make things float without helium

Ceiling decorations made of balloons captivate viewers and add a festive touch to the venue.

However, you usually need helium gas to make balloons float, which can make many people uneasy—especially at events where children are present.

So here’s an idea for creating balloon decorations without using helium.

Inflate the balloons with air, then attach a loop of masking tape with the sticky side facing outward to the tip of each balloon.

Press this onto the ceiling to secure the balloons and create your decoration.

It’s like strawberries are growing right on the wall! This is a strawberry decoration made with balloons.

Use round, polka-dot balloons to represent the strawberry fruit, and combine them with a calyx and a flower to complete each piece.

For the calyx, twist a long balloon inflated to about 60 cm and attach it to the mouth of the strawberry balloon.

For the flower, make the petals with white balloons and the center with a yellow balloon.

The result looks so appetizing you’d never guess it’s made of balloons—kids will surely feel like eating strawberries!

A big ribbon you can make with just one balloon!

A big ribbon you can make with just one balloon!

Here’s an idea for making a bow with a single long balloon.

First, inflate the balloon, fold it in half, and twist it at the center.

About 4 cm from the twist, make one small twist bubble, then twist that bubble together with the central twist.

Make another bubble the same way to complete the bow’s knot.

Next, fold and twist the balloon sections left and right of the bubbles to shape the bow loops.

Bows convey images of connection and bonds, making them perfect for preschool graduation ceremonies.

They could also be adorable as decorative pieces on a balloon arch.

An arch adorned with flowers is perfect as a decoration to wholeheartedly celebrate those attending the appreciation party! First, prepare the base arch on which the flowers will be arranged.

Wrap it with a foundation for inserting flowers and with wrapping paper.

Once that’s done, start decorating with flowers! Fresh flowers are fine, but if you want to make it easy for anyone to try, artificial flowers are also OK.

You can decorate with colorful blooms or use white flowers for a more refined vibe—finish it in the style you prefer.

After enjoying it as a decoration, you can eat this candy cake to fill your belly! Prepare three round bowl-shaped lunch cups (small, medium, and large), which are also sold at 100-yen shops.

Place them upside down and stack them from largest to smallest to form a cake shape.

Then, decorate by attaching candies around the outside with tape.

Individually wrapped small chocolates, cookies, and similar treats are recommended.

Once you’ve covered the sides of the lunch cups with sweets, add artificial flowers or decorative picks (like those used for cakes) as you like for extra flair—and you’re done! If you make it with a variety of treats, anyone can easily help themselves.
