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

Setsubun! Oni head

[Craft Idea] Setsubun! Ogre’s Head (February wall decoration) (elderly recreation, day service, occupational therapy, childcare, tissue paper, ogre pants, holly and sardine talisman, plum blossoms, DIY) (poster-size)

When you think of Setsubun ogres, many of you probably picture their fluffy, curly hairstyles, right? You can recreate that soft ogre head using tissue paper! Stack seven sheets of tissue paper and accordion-fold them in strips about 1 cm wide.

Fold the bundle in half and staple the center, then round off the corners with scissors.

Carefully fan out each sheet one by one and shape it into a rounded form.

Attach a horn part made into a cone, and the ogre’s head is complete.

It’s cute on its own, and if you make a separate ogre face to combine with it, you’ll have a lovely piece.

Oni roly-poly doll

[Handmade for Setsubun] Okiagari-Koboshi Oni 👹

In February for Setsubun, let’s make an ogre-themed roly-poly toy.

Inflate a balloon to the size you want, then use diluted glue to stick torn pieces of shoji paper onto the surface.

Layer the paper so it’s three to five sheets thick, then brush on more glue and let it dry.

Once it’s completely dry, pop the balloon and drop some glue and a marble into the hollow shell to weight and fix it.

Finally, decorate it with hair and horns to make it look like an oni, and you’re done.

It takes time to dry, so it’s nice that you can enjoy the process at a relaxed pace.

Handmade Setsubun wreath with yarn

[Setsubun] Handmade Setsubun wreath with yarn / 100-yen shop DIY / wreath / yarn

Here’s an idea for making a wreath using yarn balls.

First, crumple tissues into balls and wrap yarn around them.

These will become oni (demon) faces, and you’ll connect the faces to form the wreath, so make as many as needed for your desired size.

Create the oni faces and horns by cutting pieces from felt and gluing them on.

You can make all the balls into oni faces, or mix in designs inspired by their iconic pants patterns and beans.

Finally, add plum blossoms made from felt to finish it off.

Bean-Throwing Cup

Bean-throwing cup made from a paper cup for Setsubun

Let’s make an easy bean cup using a paper cup.

First, firmly press and flatten the rim of the cup, then cut off the edge with scissors.

Overlap the drinking rim to create a lid, add the beans, and then slide the previously cut rim under the lid to use it as a handle.

Finally, decorate the outside like an oni (ogre) and you’re done! Feel free to make it cute using yarn, felt, or construction paper.

Since the handle is only tucked under the lid, it will come off when you open the lid.

If it’s a hassle to tuck it in each time, try cutting the edge in half and gluing it on.

February calendar

@risan2511

February Original CalendarEasy creationFun for both kids and adultsAt-home play#2022 Original CalendarI love the admins.I kind of want to go viralDemons out, fortune in.Setsubun

“Demons out! Fortune in!” – TMW

Let’s incorporate an ogre (oni) face into the February calendar to boost the Setsubun spirit! The key feature of this craft is, without a doubt, creating the hair with yarn.

It gives the calendar a fun, three-dimensional look.

Make the eyes, nose, mouth, and other parts from construction paper and stick them onto your preferred color of paper.

The face can be smiling or angry—either works.

Fold an okame (good-luck lady) with origami, and once you’ve made the hair by curling yarn, it’s complete.

Adding a phrase like “Good fortune comes to a smiling home” or writing your goals for the month would be wonderful, too! It’s a piece that will make you smile every time you see it and look forward to Setsubun.

Oni decorations made of felt

[Setsubun Decorations] Oni ornament made with felt / DIY Setsubun decoration

How about some cute ogre decorations that blend nicely with your interior? Use a plate about 18 cm in diameter and some thick paper to make a cone-shaped base.

Apply hot glue to felt and stick it onto the base to create the body and horns.

The hair is made with yarn and a pencil.

Make the ogre’s pants and drum from felt, and finish by making the eyes and mouth with beads and thread.

In addition to red and blue ogres, using colorful options like green or yellow will brighten up the walls of elderly care facilities.

They’re small and don’t take up much space, so they’re also great for decorating a room.

Handmade ogre decoration made of yarn

[Setsubun] Handmade yarn oni decoration / Setsubun decoration / 100-yen shop DIY

These are cute, perfectly round oni decorations for Setsubun.

Gather yarn, felt, and egg-shaped foam pieces.

You can buy everything at a 100-yen shop, which makes it nice and easy.

Apply craft glue to the foam piece and start wrapping it with yarn.

The key is to lay the yarn flat so it doesn’t create ridges.

Press it down with your hand from time to time to ensure it adheres firmly.

After making the pants section with yellow yarn, wrap the body with red yarn.

Create the hair using yarns of different thicknesses, then attach the face and horns to finish.

Even though they’re small, these adorable oni have a strong presence and will brighten up the atmosphere of any room.
