[For Seniors] Fun and Easy Oni Crafts to Liven Up Setsubun: Simple, Enjoyable Ideas

Oni made from paper plates

Setsubun craft: Let's make a Setsubun ogre with a paper plate

Let’s try making an Oni wall decoration using paper plates and construction paper! Since we’re using paper plates, it’s easy to give the ogre a three-dimensional look.

Tear your favorite color of construction paper—red, blue, etc.—into small pieces and paste them onto the paper plate.

The key to a neat finish is to stick the pieces closely together so that the white of the plate doesn’t show.

Next, use different construction paper to make the hair and facial features.

The angle of the eyebrows and where you place the parts will give each face its own personality! Even older adults who find it difficult to go out can enjoy the seasonal Setsubun atmosphere through this wall-art activity.

Oni finger puppet

[Origami] Oni Finger Puppet

You can easily make a demon finger puppet with origami that lets you enjoy some movement.

All you need are single-sided foil origami paper, googly eyes, round stickers, a permanent marker, and so on.

For colors, using paper with a red or blue front and a gold back will give it a more ogre-like look.

First, fold the paper into triangles several times as if you were folding an origami crane, and you’ll quickly end up with a demon face with horns.

Next, attach the googly eyes and round stickers to create the face.

The finished demon looks cute worn on your fingertip as a finger puppet, or you can make several and use them as wall decorations!

den-den daiko (Japanese pellet drum)

[Crafts / Setsubun] Let’s make an ogre den-den daiko (hand drum)♡

This is an ogre-themed version of a den-den daiko (a hand drum toy you shake)! First, cut out the parts like the ogre’s face, hair, and horns.

Glue the round face piece onto thick paper, cut along the outline, then attach the other parts and draw the face details.

Secure a chopstick firmly to the back with tape, and make holes on both sides of the face.

Thread strings with crumpled aluminum foil balls through the holes and tie them, and it’s done! Since it’s just paper and aluminum foil, it won’t make sound, but the way the ogre’s face spins around is surprisingly cute—you might find yourself wanting to keep shaking it!
