[For Seniors] Handmade Ideas for Tsurushi-bina. Simple and Cute Hanging Decorations (1–10)
Two types of hanging decorations with plum blossoms
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.
Easy Hanging Hinamatsuri Decorations Using 100-Yen Store Materials
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 ornaments of plum blossoms and Japanese bush warblers
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.
