Hina doll wreath made with 100-yen shop materials

Let’s make a Hinamatsuri wreath using materials from a 100-yen shop.
First, cut out the center of a paper plate, attach felt, and create the wreath base.
Next, use cardstock and styrofoam balls to make a rabbit hina doll and an imperial consort doll.
Use the styrofoam balls as heads, insert cardstock ears into slits, and glue them in place.
For the kimono, cut a rectangle of cardstock, round off the corners, draw the collar with a pen, and apply Japanese-patterned origami paper.
Roll the kimono into a cylinder, glue the head on top, and draw the face with a pen.
Finally, attach the hina dolls to the base, decorate the remaining space with pom-poms and artificial flowers, and your wreath is complete!
Hanging butterfly ornament

This is a hanging decoration that soothes the heart with the image of a beautiful butterfly with its wings spread.
Why not make decorations themed around creatures that evoke the coming of spring for Girls’ Day? After cutting origami with a butterfly silhouette, use it as a template to cut design paper.
Once you glue the papers together, connect them to a string and add items made with a craft punch, and so on.
Finally, open the design paper attached to the butterfly origami, and your hanging ornament is complete.
It’s a butterfly decoration that will add a bright, festive touch to the atmosphere of a senior care facility.
Hanging decoration of peach blossoms

Here’s an idea for a hanging decoration that showcases the beautiful shades of peach blossoms.
Why not make a Hinamatsuri item to brighten up the walls and doors of a senior care facility? Fold pink origami or tissue paper, then make small cuts with scissors to create petal shapes.
Once you’ve made all the parts in the same size, attach them to the string for the hanging decoration.
Finally, add floral patterns with round stickers, and your peach blossom hanging ornament is complete.
It’s also recommended to use floral-patterned paper or display cherry blossoms together.
Hanging hina dolls made from empty containers

As Girls’ Day approaches, it’s kind of exciting, isn’t it? Many older adults probably have precious childhood memories of it, too.
For those with children or grandchildren, it may feel especially moving.
This time, we’ll introduce an easy craft you can make at home using items you already have: hanging hina dolls made from empty containers.
Besides plastic bottles, empty lactic acid drink containers work as well.
First, make a hole in the container and thread a string through it.
Making the holes can be dangerous, so please have a staff member do this part.
Then place washi-patterned origami inside the container to dress it in a kimono.
Draw the dolls’ faces, hang them with a cord, and in no time, they’re done!
In conclusion
We introduced ideas for making tsurushi-bina decorations by hand using familiar materials like origami paper, felt, and chirimen crepe fabric.
The process of attaching and folding the small parts also helps train dexterity.
And when you display the finished pieces in your room, you can feel the colors of the season.
Try making a one-of-a-kind hanging decoration together with older adults while enjoying lively conversation!
