When you do mamemaki (bean throwing), it’s handy to have a container for the beans, right? In that case, let’s make one by hand from a milk carton! Cut the carton to the depth you want, leaving one side longer to use as a lid.

After covering the outside with origami paper, punch two holes on the sides for a string, and attach Velcro to the front side and the lid.

Thread a strap so you can hang it around your neck, then draw an ogre’s face or add horn and hair pieces, and you’re done.

Fill it with beans and enjoy Setsubun!

Decorations and craft-style oni tend to have a cute look.

However, oni are originally terrifying beings that could make children cry.

If you’re aiming for realism, why not create a wall decoration showing a demon’s fierce expression amid blazing flames? Make the background with red, orange, and yellow construction paper, then attach a red oni cut from construction paper or origami on top to complete a powerful demon decoration.

Using sparkly origami or tapes adds depth and makes it feel more lifelike.

Oni Piñata

A piñata is something like a decorative ball used in Mexican celebrations.

It’s filled with candy and hung up, and people break it open with a stick.

Making a traditional paper ball from scratch can be a bit of work, but using a paper bag makes it super easy! Just cut out ogre-themed parts from origami paper, stick them onto a paper bag, put candy inside, and seal the bag, and it’s done.

Punch holes, thread a string through, and hang it from above to make it even more like a traditional decorative ball.

You could also just hook it lightly somewhere, let the bag drop to the floor, open it up, and enjoy snack time.

How about a unique ehomaki that’s not only cute to display but also perfect for a prank? Cut a kitchen paper tube in half and wrap the outside with black construction paper.

Next, wrap white yarn around a fork about 60 times, tie it in the center, and cut the loops.

Trim it into a round shape with scissors to make the “rice.” Make two of these, thread them onto a straw to secure them, then attach felt “fillings” on top and facial parts on the sides, and insert the whole thing into the tube.

While they’re focused on the fillings, push out the “rice” and surprise them with the face on the side!

Here are some ideas for making ogre (oni) decorations using construction paper and origami.

This project creates round-shaped oni, making it perfect if you want a cute wall display.

The process is simple: use a template to cut out the parts, then layer and glue them together.

For the pattern on the oni’s pants, tear origami paper into thin strips and apply them.

Lunar New Year Setsubun decorations made with felt—without using needles—are warm and easy to create.

Prepare a milk carton, gold washi paper, wooden chopsticks, and glue, and let’s get started.

Use the chopsticks to build a frame, glue it to a milk carton cut to the base shape, then cover it with gold washi paper to form the frame.

Sketch the ogre (oni) and Okame to fit the frame size on a file, and cut the parts.

Trace the parts onto felt, cut them out, and glue them together to complete the oni and Okame.

The key is to assemble while checking the overall balance.

Once finished, display it indoors and enjoy!

Felt Setsubun decorations are items that gently warm up your room with a cozy vibe during the cold season.

This idea features three handmade motifs: an eho-maki sushi roll, an oni (ogre), and a holly-and-sardine charm.

Once they’re finished, place felt balls between them, line them up, and attach them to a string to make a hanging decoration.

Since you only need to cut and glue the felt, it’s an easy project even if you’re not good at sewing.

Give it a try for inspiration, and brighten up your room beautifully.
