[Childcare] Collection of Daruma Craft Ideas: Fun Projects Using Everyday Materials

Let’s display the first-calligraphy daruma.

[Wall Decorations] 'Lucky Daruma' New Year Decoration – Crafting, Handmade, Origami Decoration, First Day of Spring Decoration, Preschool Craft, Elderly Care Recreation – How to Make a Japanese Daruma

Perfect for the New Year! Let’s try a craft idea for making a daruma.

In this idea, you’ll cut the body, the face base, and the whiskers from construction paper, then use a brush and ink to draw the eyebrows, eyes, nose, and mouth.

You might usually use crayons and not be very familiar with brushes, but think of it like your first calligraphy of the year and draw freely.

Once you’ve finished the expression, attach the whiskers on both sides and glue them to the body.

Then take a strip of gold origami paper, join the two ends to make a teardrop shape, stick it on the body as a decorative pattern, and you’re done!

Cute for New Year’s cards too! Daruma-chan

Here’s an idea for New Year’s decorations, and since daruma dolls are also a common motif for New Year’s cards, why not use this idea to make a daruma-themed New Year’s card? Make a daruma out of construction paper and attach it to gold design paper along with some flowers.

Simply sticking that onto the front of the card will give it a festive feel.

However, if you’re attaching it to a New Year’s card, be sure to make the daruma as a flat piece.

Create the face with any expression you like, using stickers or pens.

Daruma-chan art with a brush pen

The appeal of brush pens is, after all, that with a single pen you can create both thick and thin lines and end up with lettering full of character.

They’re tricky to handle until you get used to them, but once you can use them, they’re very handy tools that work in all sorts of situations.

In this idea, the “0” in the year is depicted as a daruma doll.

The daruma’s pattern is done with a colored brush pen, and a finer pen is used for the face.

It’s simple yet results in a highly designed illustration, so feel free to try copying it and drawing your own.

How to make cute Seven Lucky Gods daruma dolls!

[Wall Decoration] Origami Paper Craft: 'How to Make the Seven Lucky Gods Daruma' – Activities for Elderly Care and Preschool Crafts | How to Make a Japanese Daruma Doll

Perfect for wall decorations! Let’s make some cute Seven Lucky Daruma.

You’ll need construction paper cut to 6×15 cm and white paper for the face base.

First, create a glue tab along one of the short edges, then fold the construction paper in half to make a crease.

Next, align the crease with the glue tab fold and fold the paper again, then cut slits from the folded side with scissors.

The slit section becomes the body, and the remaining section is the head.

Glue the tab at the boundary between the body and head, draw a face on the white paper, cut it into an oval, and attach it.

Finally, fold in the corners of the construction paper to round them off, and you’re done! Make seven of them inspired by the Seven Lucky Gods and display them.

Make It with 100-Yen Shop Items! Daruma Otoshi

How about making the classic New Year’s game “Daruma-otoshi” using items from a 100-yen shop? It’s very easy to make, and you’ll end up with a toy you can enjoy over and over.

First, fill a dessert cup with small stones, put the lid on, and that will be the body of the Daruma.

Create the face base and patterns with tape, stick them on, then draw the eyes and mustache with a pen to finish.

For the mallet, stack and glue four plastic bottle caps together, then attach a wooden chopstick as the handle.

If the Daruma is too light, it won’t stack properly when it falls, so be sure to put plenty of stones inside.

Handmade Daruma craft

@hoikuai.niconico♬ Slow and pretty pop music(120463) – STUDIO COM

This is a fun craft idea where you stick pieces of origami paper.

The materials are construction paper for the base of the daruma’s body and face, and origami paper for the patterns.

If infants or toddlers are doing this, please cut out the parts from the construction paper in advance.

For children old enough to use scissors, let them cut out the parts themselves.

Once the parts are ready, just glue them together and draw the face with crayons.

Gold and silver origami look festive and are recommended.

If you stick it onto a backing, it can also become a wall decoration.

Have fun with transparent tape! Daruma doll toy

http://www.lemon8-app.com

Make a die by sticking strips of clear tape together, then draw a daruma inspired by the hugely popular children’s book series “Daruma-san” on it.

Believe it or not, that’s all it takes to finish the toy! Since it’s made of tape, even if a small child accidentally squashes it, it easily springs back to its original shape.

You can use it like building blocks, or even enjoy squashing it on purpose.

Try making different daruma with various expressions and colors.

They’re cute just to display, too.
