[For Seniors] Handmade Ideas for Tsurushi-bina. Simple and Cute Hanging Decorations (1–10)
Two types of hanging decorations with plum blossomsNEW!
How about a plum-blossom decoration that’s very simple yet instantly adds a festive touch just by displaying it? Here are two types of hanging ornaments you can make with colored construction paper.
Prepare five strips each of 2 cm × 15 cm and 2 cm × 10 cm paper.
Stack two strips, align the ends, staple them, and round them into a petal shape.
Make five of these in the same way and glue them together.
Finish by attaching a circular piece of paper in the center.
For the second type, cut two sheets of origami into circles, shape each into petals, then cut one to create a three-dimensional effect and glue them together.
Once both types of plum blossoms are finished, use string or ribbon to make them into hanging ornaments.
They sway beautifully as elegant plum-blossom decorations.
Hanging ornaments of plum blossoms and Japanese bush warblersNEW!
As spring approaches, plum blossom and bush warbler hanging ornaments are lovely items that let you enjoy a spring atmosphere indoors.
Fold 7.5 cm square origami paper in half twice to make a triangle.
After folding so the triangle is divided into three equal parts, draw petal shapes and cut them out with scissors.
Open it up, attach patterns made with a hole punch, add slits, and you’ll have a three-dimensional plum blossom.
For the bush warbler, use four types of origami in different colors and sizes.
Draw and cut out the body, wings, and beak for each.
Once all the parts are assembled, attach them to a paper cord along with the plum blossoms, and you’re done! It’s very easy to make, so give it a try.
Easy Hanging Hinamatsuri Decorations Using 100-Yen Store MaterialsNEW!
You can make a cute Hina doll decoration using everyday items.
For example, a round box that holds cheese and the like—if you remove the bottom part, you’ll get a ring.
Believe it or not, you can use that to make a Hina display! Attach pink-themed masking tape to the ring and use an awl to make holes.
Thread yarn alone, or yarn with beads, through the ring using a yarn darning needle.
Finish by making the Hina dolls with round stickers.
Using transparent origami paper also looks cute.
How about making it while chatting with seniors about their memories of Hina Matsuri?
Hanging temari ornaments
Temari hanging ornaments have a gorgeous look that brightens up any room.
This set features traditional Japanese patterns and motifs of plum blossoms and cherry blossoms, perfect for the Girls’ Festival (Hinamatsuri).
The method is very simple, making it great for crafts with seniors.
First, prepare some origami paper.
Next, cut it into circles.
Attach them together and your temari is complete! Using the same method, you can add cuts to create plum or cherry blossom shapes to finish the other parts.
If you want to make an easy yet stylish decoration, give this a try!
Hanging fan ornament
In some households, it has long been customary to display hanging ornaments for the Peach Festival (Hinamatsuri).
A folding fan opens from a closed state into a shape that widens toward the end.
Because it symbolizes a future that expands and flourishes, it’s considered auspicious.
The fan-shaped hanging ornament introduced here is reputed to bring good luck, making it perfect for Hinamatsuri decorations.
All you need are three sheets of origami paper.
Just cut and paste the origami, and it’s done in no time.
It’s also fun to make different kinds of fans, arrange them, and display them.
Hanging ornaments of flowers and temari (decorative thread balls)
Hanging ornaments are traditional decorations seen at events like the Hinamatsuri (Doll’s Festival), made to wish for happiness and good health.
Hanging ornaments featuring flowers and temari balls are both gorgeous and cute, making them perfect for celebrating the Peach Festival.
The flower-and-temari hanging ornament introduced here is characterized by its realistic-looking flowers.
Although it may seem difficult at first glance, it’s actually very easy to make.
All you need are items like origami paper, glue, and thread.
Since you simply cut the origami paper and paste the pieces together, it’s also recommended for seniors.
The realistic look gives your room a touch of elegance when displayed.
Hanging decorations made of felt without sewing
This is a perfect hanging decoration for Hinamatsuri that you can make just by cutting and gluing felt—no sewing required.
For the essential hishimochi, combine pink, white, and green felt cut into diamond shapes.
You can also layer about four circles of felt to create a round ornament with ruffled folds.
Try arranging finely cut pieces of felt to make flowers, too.
Once you’ve made various ornaments, attach them to strings on a support pole using a hot glue gun, and you’re done! There’s lots of detailed work, so it’s great brain training as well.
