Moon-viewing Rabbit

[UV Resin] How to Make an Otsukimi Rabbit: Moon Festival Bunny Necklace [DIY]

When it comes to moon-viewing, rabbits are indispensable.

So, let’s make a moon-viewing bunny using UV resin! For this project, you’ll need resin liquid, a UV light, tweezers, and a mold to cure the resin into a circular shape.

Many 100-yen shops carry these items, so give it a look if you like.

The workflow is to brush a thin layer of resin into the mold and cure it, then create the rabbit parts.

The fine work may be tricky at first, but take it step by step.

Once the parts are finished, assemble them with resin.

Add color at the end, and you’ll have an adorable moon-viewing bunny.

Even if it’s difficult to display real Tsukimi dango, a wall decoration lets you enjoy the moon-viewing scene without taking up space! Cut out Tsukimi dango and the sanpō (the tray that holds the dango) from construction paper and stick them on the wall.

If you want a slightly three-dimensional look, you could use cotton or crumpled tissue paper for the dango.

Around the dango, try adding a lively touch by sticking on a moon, pampas grass, and rabbits cut from construction paper as well.

Moon-Viewing Wall Hanging Decoration

[Moon-Viewing Craft] Super Easy! How to Make a Moon-Viewing Wall Hanging with a Paper Plate [Ashitaba Channel]

This is a wall-hanging decoration that captures the moon-viewing scene—an essential event on long autumn nights.

It’s a simple craft made by using a paper plate with the center cut out as the base and adding decorations.

First, paint the paper plate black, then create a night sky by attaching sequins and a moon cut from yellow origami paper.

Next, place dango and rabbits—both staples of moon viewing—and attach a string for hanging to complete it.

It could be fun to think about how to color the night sky with the rising moon and what to include to convey the joy of moon viewing in your own way.

Cosmos Plate Artwork Made with Tissue-Paper Collage

Kimie Gangi’s tissue paper collage “Cosmos Paper-Cut Decorative Plate.”

How about making cosmos flowers out of tissue paper and decorating a paper plate to create a cosmos picture plate? Fold the tissue paper into thirds, then fold a corner into a triangle to make a square.

Fold that up and cut out petal shapes—this lets you make three cosmos flowers at once.

Use your preferred colors of tissue paper, such as red, pink, or white.

Brush a layer of glue thinned with water onto the paper plate, then arrange the cosmos on top.

Brush more glue over the flowers to set them in place.

If you also decorate the rim of the paper plate with tissue paper in colors you like, let it dry thoroughly and you’re done.

[Autumn Origami] Easy☆How to Fold a Dragonfly [Origami] Simple Insect Origami

As if to celebrate the harvest, all kinds of insects appear in autumn, don’t they? Let’s make a dragonfly—one of the insects strongly associated with autumn—out of origami.

You can aim for a realistic dragonfly, or go for a cute, stylized version.

We’ll create parts like the body and wings and then assemble them; by changing the colors, you can end up with a vibrant dragonfly.

If you keep a rounded feel for the body parts and a thin, delicate look for the wings, you’ll achieve a more realistic effect.

Moon-viewing rabbit made of clay

Moon-Viewing Rabbits Made with Clay [PADICO]

Here’s a simple rabbit craft idea using clay.

Wondering what kind of rabbit? Think of a snow rabbit.

You’ll need 25 g of white clay.

First, divide the clay into two parts.

Use the first part for the rabbit’s body; the second part is for the ears and tail, so a small amount is fine.

Roll the first portion into an egg shape.

To keep it from rolling, flatten the bottom slightly.

Divide the second portion into three pieces to make the ears and tail, then attach them to the body with glue.

Finally, add the eyes, and you’re done.

For an even nicer finish, make the ears with Japanese-patterned chiyogami and decorate them, and create a background by accordion-folding paper.
