February calendar

“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
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
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.
Tissue paper ogre wall display

You might find yourself wanting to touch this wall decoration of an oni made with fluffy, three-dimensional tissue paper.
First, sketch a large outline of the oni on cardboard and decide on the size and shape you want to make.
Prepare the colors and number of tissue sheets according to the size.
Lightly crumple the tissue paper to give it a fluffy look, creating pieces to attach to the illustration.
Use double-sided tape to adhere the tissue pieces to the drawing as you go.
The key is to pack them tightly so there are no gaps and to build them up for a three-dimensional effect.
Using yarn for the hair is also recommended.
Give it a try!
Torn Ehomaki Demon
@hekimen_25 [Torn-Paper Ehomaki Oni 👹]- For: Middle preschoolers and up- Goals: • Strengthen fine motor skills through tearing construction paper • Foster interest in and awareness of SetsubunNursery teacher / Childcare worker#Nursery school#Kindergarten#Childcare CraftingProduction process#Production Video#Chigiri-e Setsubun Setsubun craft Demon

Speaking of ehomaki, the classic look is the black color of seaweed, but in this idea, we’ll make an ehomaki with a tiger pattern.
First, cut yellow construction paper into the shape of an ehomaki, then glue on thin, torn strips of paper to create the tiger stripes.
Attach a paper-made ogre (oni) face to the top of the ehomaki, and glue hand pieces on the front so it looks like the ogre is holding it.
Make the ogre’s mouth wide open, and use sparkly stickers for the pupils to better convey how delicious the ehomaki is.

Let’s all work together to roll up tissue paper and make an ogre wall decoration! The method is super simple: just roll and stick.
Prepare lots of rolled tissue paper pieces, draw the ogre’s face, and stick the pieces onto a backing sheet with double-sided tape.
The colors differ by part—eyes, horns, hair, cheeks—so adjust how many pieces you roll to match each area.
Adding words like “Oni wa soto, fuku wa uchi” will make it feel even more like a Setsubun decoration.
In the cold of winter, let’s warm our hearts with shared laughter as we create together!

Let’s try making a handmade ogre (oni) hat! The main material is yarn.
Choose yarn in your favorite color and wrap it around a piece of cardboard over and over.
Once it’s thick enough, slide it off the cardboard, tie it in the middle, and round it out to form the hair section.
Next, draw patterns on construction paper, roll it into cone-shaped horn pieces, and glue them onto the yarn.
Finally, attach everything to the hat base made from cardboard and elastic, and you’re done! It’ll turn out so cute that you’ll be counting down the days to Setsubun.
