A simple Hina decoration you’ll want to display

Easy Hina Doll decoration you can make by downloading the template! Just paste the bonbori lanterns, hishi-mochi, and Hina dolls onto the background illustration to complete it.
First, mount the background illustration on thick paper and trim off the excess.
For the bonbori, cut several circular pieces from colored paper of your choice, fold each in half, then glue them together to form a hemisphere.
For the hishi-mochi, prepare pink, white, and green colored paper, cut them according to the template, and stack/glue them in layers.
For how to make the Hina dolls, check the video linked in the description and try folding along with it.
Hanging Hina Dolls Made with Jam Lids
@an_hoiku_seisaku I made a hanging Hina decoration using jam jar lids 🎎 Check my previous post for the origami Hina dolls! They’re super easy ✨#HinamatsuriCraft#Childcare Crafting#Production VideoMarchHina DollsProduction#Nursery school
♬ cute kawaii – nanaacom
Let’s make an original hanging decoration using jam jar lids, origami paper, construction paper, tissue paper, and kite string.
The origami part will be 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, and fold up the bottom corner to finish.
With construction paper, we’ll make a spherical ornament: cut it into circles, fold them in half, then stack and glue them together.
Attach the Hina dolls and ornaments to the kite string, tie them to a lid frame (with only the rim remaining), and finish by gluing rolled-up tissue paper to the side.

Hanging ornament made with felt balls
@yukapi_memory_room All materials are from Daiso ✨ Handmade hanging ornaments for Hinamatsuri 🎎 Make them by clipping felt balls onto hair clips—the round, cute flowers are the highlight ♡ The artificial flowers have wire inside, so you can bend them slightly to turn them into hooks, making them easy to hang 🌸 ▼ How to make ① Use a glue gun to stick three felt balls together ② Bend the tip of the artificial flower ③ Open a hair clip and attach it to the three branches that split from the center, then also clip on the felt balls you made in step ①. Add one part per branch for balance ④ Use a glue gun to attach felt balls to the parts added in step ③ I’m sharing the materials I used on Instagram I’ve also got lots of other Hinamatsuri ideas 🎎HinamatsuriThe Doll FestivalHanging hina dollsHanging ornament#100-yen shop DIY

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.
Hanging Hina Dolls Made with Paper Plates
https://www.tiktok.com/@chii_1514m/video/7605145471455120660This is a paper-plate hanging decoration you’ll want to display in your room.
First, glue torn pieces of pink and white tissue paper onto a paper plate.
Then make a hole in the center of the plate and thread yarn tied to a straw through it.
On the opposite side, add a bead as a stopper and glue it in place.
Thread twine through the straw and attach paper hina dolls made from construction paper to the end.
Punch four holes at the bottom of the paper plate, thread yarn decorated with paper peach blossoms and circular ornaments through them, and tie to finish.
Simply changing the colors of the tissue paper and construction paper will give it a different feel.
Hanging Hina decoration made with accordion folding
https://www.tiktok.com/@mii_no_seisak/video/7602914620805745941Let me show you how to make a hanging Hina decoration that anyone can create easily.
First, accordion-fold a plain sheet of origami paper and fold it in half.
Then, sandwich a patterned origami paper folded the same way inside and glue them together.
This will become the body of the Hina doll.
After that, just attach a face and small accessories made from construction paper and you’re done.
Next, let’s make decorations like peach blossoms and hishi-mochi.
Tie kite string to a base made from a tapioca (bubble tea) straw, then glue on the Hina dolls and the decorations, and you’re all set! If cutting out the parts is difficult, prepare them in advance.
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.
Hanging Hina ornament

These are hanging hina dolls you can enjoy as a tabletop display.
First, drill a hole in a wooden board to make the base, insert a rod, and cover it with fabric.
You can choose any hanging ornaments you like! Use craft bands to make round kusudama-style decorations, or glue chirimen crepe fabric onto thick paper cut into your favorite shapes to create custom charms.
Connect the finished ornaments with string and attach them to the umbrella-shaped base.
When threading the ornaments, it’s also recommended to add bells or beads.
