[For Seniors] Handmade Ideas for Hanging Hina Dolls: Simple and Cute Hanging Ornaments (11–20)
Tsurushi-bina made with materials from a 100-yen shop
The Doll Festival (Peach Festival) stems from parents’ wishes for their children to grow up healthy.
The hanging hina decorations we’re introducing here can be made easily, since you can get all the materials at a 100-yen shop.
Did you know that each part of a hanging hina has its own meaning? The peach symbolizes longevity, the strawberry wards off misfortune, the rabbit protects against evil, and the dumpling signifies never lacking food—each with an important origin.
Made with stick-on crepe-style fabric paper, the decoration has a charming, traditional feel.
Since it’s the type that hangs from the ceiling, it’s nice that you don’t have to worry about where to place it.
Cute hanging decoration made from 100-yen-shop materials: ball ornaments
Speaking of Hinamatsuri, you can really feel the gentle love parents have for their children.
Older adults may also feel nostalgic when they look at the hanging ornaments.
Let’s make these must-have hanging ornaments for the Peach Festival.
This time, we’ll introduce an easy, handy hanging ball ornament you can make entirely with items from a 100-yen shop.
First, prepare a variety of decorative balls.
Having both deep and pale colors will create a stylish design, so that’s recommended.
One thing to be careful about is when you insert a needle through the decorative balls during assembly.
It’s best to do this together with a staff member.
Once it’s finished, try showing it to little kids—they’re sure to be delighted.
Hanging Hina dolls made from chirimen fabric
Chirimen fabric is a popular material known for its luxurious feel.
How about decorating for Hinamatsuri with hanging ornaments made from chirimen? They feature traditional Japanese patterns and color schemes.
The temari motif used in hanging ornaments is said to symbolize good luck and harmony.
To make one, simply attach chirimen fabric to a polystyrene ball, and it’s finished in no time.
When making flowers, there’s some sewing with needle and thread, so older adults should work together with staff.
Displaying them in a room also creates a distinctly Japanese atmosphere.
Origami Tsurushi-bina
For the Doll’s Festival (Hinamatsuri), we decorate with many auspicious items like Hina dolls, hishi-mochi, and fans.
Each has various meanings related to happiness, and it’s fun to think about them while making an origami hanging Hina decoration.
Hina dolls carry the wish for children’s sound health.
The three colors of hishi-mochi each have their own meaning as well, said to offer protection from evil, longevity, and health.
Let’s make an origami hanging Hina packed with these lucky motifs! Fold each motif with origami and attach them to a string to finish.
Just displaying auspicious items in your room can lift your spirits.
It’s the perfect decoration for Hinamatsuri.
Plum blossoms, camellias, and bush warblers
When it comes to hanging decorations perfect for Hinamatsuri, plum blossoms, camellias, and bush warblers come to mind.
They’re ornaments that let you feel the arrival of spring.
What you’ll need are pom-poms, wire, nippers, felt, and decorative tape, among other things.
Attaching the bush warbler’s facial parts requires some delicate work, but otherwise there are no difficult steps at all.
Using pom-poms makes it easy to create cute decorations, so I highly recommend it.
Display them in your room and you’ll instantly feel a gentle, spring-like mood.
Be sure to try making them together with everyone!
Cute hanging Hina dolls made of cardboard
Tsurushi-bina are essential for the Peach Festival (Hinamatsuri).
How about making your own using only materials you have at home? All you need are scissors, cardboard, a pen, glue, and so on.
This time, let’s make tsurushi-bina out of cardboard.
First, create the dolls and dress them with origami clothes.
Next, make some flowers and leaves, thread them onto a string, and you’ll be done in no time! You can also add your own touches by including strawberries, rabbits, or dango.
Since it’s just a matter of cutting and pasting, it’s easy and quick to make, and it’s recommended for seniors as well.

Hanging Hina Dolls Made with Jam Lids
@an_hoiku_seisaku I made a hanging Hina decoration using jam jar lids 🎎 Check my previous post for the origami Hina dolls! They’re super easy ✨#HinamatsuriCraft#Childcare Crafting#Production VideoMarchHina DollsProduction#Nursery school
♬ cute kawaii – nanaacom
Let’s make original hanging decorations using jam jar lids, origami paper, construction paper, tissue paper flowers, and twine.
We’ll use origami to make Hina dolls.
First, fold up two adjacent edges.
Fold so that the folded section and the remaining section are the same width.
Draw faces on the remaining white area, then fold up the bottom corner to finish.
For the construction paper decorations, cut circles, fold them in half, then layer and glue them together.
Attach the Hina dolls and the decorations to the twine, tie them to the lid frame, and glue rolled-up tissue paper flowers to the sides to complete the project.
