Hanami dango

@sachimama_asobi

I tried making hanami dango using that thing 🍡🌸 It was so warm today that it really felt like spring had arrived! Yesterday my boys said they wanted to make dango out of origami, so I thought, why not make them into three-colored hanami dango? 🥰 Have you ever made an origami balloon? If you make the balloon and stick it onto a chopstick, it’s done 👏 It’s super easy, so be sure to save this and give it a try!! +——————————————+ I’m Sachi-mama, raising three rambunctious boys aged 8, 6, and 2 ❀ I share play ideas and simple crafts with kids using 100-yen items, nature finds, and recycled materials.

Let’s make the essential three-color dango for Hinamatsuri out of origami.

Prepare three sheets of origami paper in green, white, and pink, plus a pair of chopsticks.

Fold the origami paper in half into a square twice, then puff it up as you fold it into a triangle.

Next, fold the left and right pointed tips up toward the center to form a balloon shape.

Blow into the small hole to inflate and complete the balloon.

After making three balloons from the three sheets of origami, gently skewer all three onto the chopsticks so they don’t tear, and you’re done.

Place them beside the Empress and Emperor dolls to make a lovely decoration.

Accordion-fold Hina doll display

Here’s an idea for representing the bodies of Hina dolls using accordion-folded origami.

Use two sheets of origami paper per doll.

First, accordion-fold a plain sheet, overlap the sides, and fold it in half.

Fold the second sheet the same way, then insert it into the first sheet and glue them together.

It’s recommended to use patterned paper for the second sheet.

Once the body is complete, attach a face and decorations made from construction paper, and hang it from a display stand made with a thick straw and kite string to finish.

For an even more festive look, you can also make and hang bonbori lanterns and hishi-mochi rice cakes.

Hinamatsuri wreath decoration

Origami decorations for Hinamatsuri! How about making an emperor and empress dolls, bonbori lanterns, and hishimochi out of origami, then attaching them to a wreath to create a March wall decoration? [Tsukuru-mon]

Introducing an idea for a Hina Matsuri wreath made entirely from origami parts! The parts you’ll make are the Emperor doll and Empress doll, lanterns, hishi-mochi rice cakes, cherry blossoms, a folding screen, a fan, a ritual baton (shaku), a stand, and a circular base to which all these parts are attached.

The base is made by combining 12 identical pieces.

Each individual part is created through simple steps, so although there are many pieces, it’s a project you can likely finish in a day.

For the Emperor and Empress kimonos, use washi-patterned origami paper—choose your favorite designs while imagining the final look.

Cone-shaped hina dolls

[Hinamatsuri Origami] How to Make Hina Dolls 🎎

Perfect for Doll’s Day displays! Let’s make cute triangular hina dolls.

First, cut white paper into a half-circle and roll it into a cone.

Then wrap washi-patterned origami around it to represent the kimono.

Use the pointed tip of the cone as the face: add hair with black origami, and use rhinestones for the eyes and hair ornaments.

For the base, glue a U-shaped piece of thick paper upright onto a felt rectangle you’ve cut as the platform.

The look will vary depending on the origami and rhinestones you use, so prepare materials that match your image.

Hina dolls with distinctive kimonos

Origami Hinamatsuri Hina Dolls (Ohinasama – female doll, Odairisama – male doll) How to Fold | Origami Japanese Kimono Doll Tutorial (NiceNo1)

Let’s make a perfect set of the imperial couple (the emperor and empress) for Hinamatsuri.

First, mark the origami by folding it in half, then into quarters, in order.

For the hair, take a small square of black origami paper, fold it into a triangle, then fold both sides toward the center to shape the hairstyle.

Attach the empress’s body and hair, then add the fan to finish.

For the emperor, the key is to make a crisp fold at the collar and fold the sleeves of the kimono upward to create the right angle.

Fold a crown from black origami paper to complete the emperor.

Feel free to draw the facial expressions in your own original style.
