On Setsubun, it’s said to be good luck to eat an ehomaki while facing the year’s auspicious direction.

I’m sure many of you have tried it at least once.

Ehomaki traditionally has seven fillings, in reference to the Seven Lucky Gods, but in this wall display idea, the filling part is made into an oni (demon).

It’s a bit surprising, but the design is striking, and it might be a two-birds-with-one-stone idea that expresses both the ehomaki and the oni together.

All you have to do is cut out the parts from construction paper and paste them together, so feel free to give it a try!

Felt Setsubun decoration

I tried making some decorations for Setsubun. 👹

Lunar New Year Setsubun decorations made with felt—without using needles—are warm and easy to create.

Prepare a milk carton, gold washi paper, wooden chopsticks, and glue, and let’s get started.

Use the chopsticks to build a frame, glue it to a milk carton cut to the base shape, then cover it with gold washi paper to form the frame.

Sketch the ogre (oni) and Okame to fit the frame size on a file, and cut the parts.

Trace the parts onto felt, cut them out, and glue them together to complete the oni and Okame.

The key is to assemble while checking the overall balance.

Once finished, display it indoors and enjoy!

Origami Setsubun Wreath

A Setsubun wreath that lets you feel Japan’s traditional customs is a great way to enjoy the seasonal event while also exercising your fingers.

Let’s prepare and make it with Setsubun motifs like a bean container, Otafuku, and red and blue oni.

For the wreath base, using a greenish color inspired by holly leaves—befitting Setsubun—may make the oni and Otafuku stand out more crisply.

When making each part, be mindful of colors associated with Setsubun and attach the pieces in a well-balanced way.

Changing the expressions of each piece will give your work a stronger sense of originality, which is highly recommended.

Hanging decorations for Setsubun

Make Setsubun hanging decorations with origami! Introducing how to fold oni (demons) and Otafuku masks! Why not try making them for a February event? [Tsukuru-mon]

This is a hanging decoration made like a curtain by arranging various Setsubun-themed origami parts at equal intervals along a string.

We’ll make six types of parts: plum blossoms, Otafuku, two kinds of ogres (oni), a metal club (kanabō), a kusudama, and tassels.

Basically, you just fold along the creases, but the kusudama is the only one made by assembling multiple units.

It may take a bit of time, so let’s proceed step by step.

Try using different origami patterns and colors to create a vibrant decoration.

Setsubun decoration: holly and sardine (hiiragi-iwashi)

[Origami] Setsubun Decorations with Origami | How to Make Oni (Demons), Holly-Iwashi (Holly and Sardine), and Plum Blossoms

Hiiragi iwashi, displayed during Setsubun, has a distinctive look: a sardine head pierced onto a sprig of holly.

It’s said to ward off evil because demons dislike the smell and the prickly leaves.

Using this idea, you’ll make a sardine head, two holly leaves, and a stick.

For the sardine, fold an origami square into a triangle to make a crease, open it, then fold the two left edges to the center crease.

Use the opposing corners of the folded section to form the mouth, and shape the rest into the head.

For the leaves, take small origami squares, fold the diagonal corners to create a leaf shape, then accordion-fold to finish.

For the stick, cut a narrow strip of origami paper and fold it gatefold (both long edges in to meet at the center).

Setsubun! Oni head

[Craft Idea] Setsubun! Ogre’s Head (February wall decoration) (elderly recreation, day service, occupational therapy, childcare, tissue paper, ogre pants, holly and sardine talisman, plum blossoms, DIY) (poster-size)

Let’s decorate the February bulletin board using various parts.

In addition to ogre hair made from tissue paper and origami ogre pants, we’ll also make holly-and-sardine talismans, ofuda charms, and plum blossoms.

Crumple paper to add wrinkles for texture, open thin tissue paper sheet by sheet—these are easy crafts that also exercise fine motor skills.

Arrange the layout with the ogre hair as the main feature and decorate around it with the other parts.

Make the ogre hair in a variety of colors, and write “Oni wa soto” (Demons out) and “Fuku wa uchi” (Fortune in) on the ofuda.

String Art of Oni for Setsubun

Oni for Setsubun × String Art

String art is an art form where you create pictures and patterns using nails hammered into a wooden board and thread.

First, decide on a design and sketch it on paper to determine where to place the nails.

Then align the sketch with the wooden board, hammer in the nails, and wrap the thread to create an oni (ogre/demon) motif.

String art can also depict letters, so it might be nice to make the word “Setsubun” to go with it.

Display the finished piece in your room to enhance the Setsubun atmosphere.

Because it uses fine motor skills and encourages focused work, string art is perfect for indoor activities during the cold season.
