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.

Here’s how to make a demon-themed Setsubun decoration with origami.

First, fold two sheets of origami paper into an accordion, then form them into a circle to create the outline of the face.

Red is a good choice to match the demon image.

Next, draw and cut out the facial parts from origami paper in various colors.

The mood changes with the shapes of the eyes and mouth, so try to picture the finished look as you work.

Finally, crumple a piece of brown origami paper and attach it to the top of the face.

That will be the hair.
