[For Seniors] Handmade Ideas for Tsurushi-bina: Simple and Cute Hanging Decorations

I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

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.

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.

You can make this hanging decoration using only items from a 100-yen shop! Here are some ideas.

All you need are artificial flowers, felt balls, and clips.

The steps are simple: clip three felt balls onto your favorite parts of the artificial flowers, then use a glue gun to attach two more felt balls to hide the clips.

If you choose flower-shaped clips, the result will look like peach blossoms.

Pick soft colors like pink or white for the cotton (felt) balls to create a cute look.

Display them on a wall or in a vase to enjoy the Hinamatsuri atmosphere.

This is a hanging decoration made from a paper plate that you’ll want to display in your room.

First, glue torn pieces of pink and white tissue paper onto the paper plate.

Then make a hole in the center of the plate and thread through a piece of yarn tied to a straw.

On the other end, thread a bead to act as a stopper and glue it in place.

Thread twine through the straw and attach the paper Hina dolls (made from construction paper) to the front.

Finally, decorate with yarn adorned with peach blossoms and circular pieces made from construction paper, and you’re done.

Simply changing the colors of the tissue paper or construction paper will give it a different look.

Let me show you how to make a tsurushi-bina that anyone can create easily.

First, accordion-fold a plain sheet of origami paper and fold it in half.

Then insert a patterned sheet of origami folded the same way and glue them together.

This will be the doll’s body.

Next, attach a face and small accessories made from construction paper, and you’re done.

You can also make other parts like peach blossoms and hishi-mochi.

Tie kite string to a base made from a tapioca (boba) straw, then glue on the hina dolls and decorations, and it’s complete! If cutting out the parts is difficult, prepare them in advance.

Hanging Hina decorations made of feltNEW!

[Hinamatsuri] Handmade Hina Decorations with Felt / felt

Hanging Hina decorations made of feltNEW!

Let us introduce a warm, felt-crafted piece.

The parts you’ll make are the Ohinasama (Empress), the Odairisama (Emperor), plum blossoms, and yarn balls.

First, cut the felt into a crescent shape to create the base.

Then decorate it with the felt flowers and the yarn balls.

It might be nice to make the balls in pink, white, and green to resemble hina-arare rice puffs.

On the back, attach the hina dolls so that their faces are visible through the base.

Attach a gold cord to the base so it can be hung, and you’re done!
