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

Red and Blue Oni made from wine corks

Setsubun Decorations 2025 [I made a red ogre and a blue ogre out of wine corks] #Setsubun #SetsubunDay #RedOni #Handmade #Crafts

Here’s an idea for making an oni (Japanese ogre) out of a cork.

Use a single cork to represent the head and body: first paint the whole cork a skin tone, then paint the pants.

Use yarn for the hair and felt for the horns.

Start by wrapping yarn around two fingers about eight times, then slide it off your fingers.

Tie the center with another piece of yarn so it won’t come undone.

Make about ten of these, and glue the tied sections to the top of the cork to create the hair.

Once dry, cut the looped ends with scissors and shape the hair.

For the horns, roll felt into a cone and attach it to the hair.

Finally, draw the oni’s face with a pen to finish.

Yarn: Making a Friendly Oni Wall Hanging

Making a wall hanging of friendly ogres

Decorate your room with an Oni theme to bring a Setsubun vibe.

In this idea, you wrap yarn around thick paper, then attach felt parts for the face and horns to make the oni.

After making a red oni and a blue oni, glue them onto a base; add holly leaves and a paper label with the word “Setsubun” to finish.

Decorate the four corners of the base with washi-pattern origami or tape, and place gem or pearl stickers in the empty spaces.

The impression changes depending on whether you use the square base as-is or rotate it into a diamond shape.

Punch a hole in the base, thread a red ribbon through, and finish it so it can be hung on the wall.

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.

Puppy's Walk (feat. HKP) – ALL BGM CHANNEL & MimiTV

Here’s a craft idea for making an ogre (oni) using a lactic acid bacteria drink container as the base.

Wrap the entire container with yarn to represent the oni’s skin color—such as red or blue—and add yellow-and-black striped pants.

Place yarn hair on top of the container and glue on horns made from felt.

Use rhinestone stickers and thread to create the face, and give it a spiked club to hold to finish it off.

The oni looks cute on its own, but if you prepare a base decorated with beans and display two figures—a red oni and a blue oni—on it, it will look even nicer.

If you have the time, be sure to make the base as well.

Setsubun kendama

♬ Find you in the dark feat. Nenashi – Ovall

Here’s an idea for a Setsubun kendama featuring a charming demon eating an ehomaki.

In this craft, a construction paper demon face is attached to the rim of a paper cup, with the cup acting as the mouth.

It captures the look of a demon going “Aah!” with its mouth wide open—very cute.

For the ball part, cut a toilet paper roll into a shorter piece, stuff it with crumpled newspaper, and decorate the outside with construction paper to look like an ehomaki sushi roll.

Connect the paper cup and the ehomaki with string, and you’re done! Try your best to feed the ehomaki to the little demon.
