Origami: Oni (demon) and Otafuku (good-fortune woman) masks

Setsubun Origami Craft: How to Make Ogre and Otafuku Mask Headbands (with Audio Commentary)

How about making oni (demon) and Otafuku masks that are perfect for Setsubun events? Here, you’ll find instructions for making the mask base using origami paper and rubber bands.

Prepare two sheets of 15 cm origami paper.

First, cut one sheet in half, then accordion-fold each half lengthwise to make long narrow strips.

Take the remaining full sheet and accordion-fold it the same way, then glue the two half-size strips to the left and right sides of the full-size strip.

Finally, staple rubber bands to the ends on both sides and form a ring to complete the base.

Attach an oni or Otafuku face to the wide center section to use it as a mask.

Instructions for making the oni and Otafuku faces are provided in the video description.

String Art of Oni for Setsubun

Oni for Setsubun × String Art

String art is an art form where you create pictures and patterns using nails hammered into a wooden board and thread.

First, decide on a design and sketch it on paper to determine where to place the nails.

Then align the sketch with the wooden board, hammer in the nails, and wrap the thread to create an oni (ogre/demon) motif.

String art can also depict letters, so it might be nice to make the word “Setsubun” to go with it.

Display the finished piece in your room to enhance the Setsubun atmosphere.

Because it uses fine motor skills and encourages focused work, string art is perfect for indoor activities during the cold season.

Mini Oni Pen Remake

[Craft Activity][100-Yen DIY][Setsubun] Craft! Mini Oni Pen Remake [Craft Vlog] My husband's butt is in trouble!?

Let’s remake your everyday pen with a little oni (demon) decoration! You’ll need a pen with a clip, thick paper (cardstock), felt, chenille stems (pipe cleaners), yarn, and a rubber band.

First, cut the cardstock and felt into rectangles sized to fit your pen.

These will become the oni’s face, and you’ll use them folded in half.

Next, cut a chenille stem short and fold it in half to make one horn; make two of these.

Sandwich the horns between the folded cardstock, stack another chenille stem on top, then tie everything together with a rubber band to secure it.

Wrap yarn over the rubber band to create the oni’s hair, and finally draw the face on the felt to finish.

Clip the pen’s clip into the yarn when you use it!

Red Ogre and Blue Ogre

[Setsubun Craft] #shorts #craft #play #kids #at-home play #home time #childcare #origami #origami #Setsubun #oni (demon)

Here’s an introduction to a cute oni (demon) made with origami.

Follow the video as you fold the paper.

If you make the crease lines first, it will be easier and look neater.

Once the oni shape is done, color the horns yellow and add patterns.

For the hair and facial features, use separate construction paper or origami.

If you’re good at drawing, you can also draw them with pens! In addition to the classic red and blue oni, making a variety of colorful oni—like green or yellow—will create a fun wall decoration.

Be sure to enjoy making the display together while sharing memories of Setsubun!

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.

Pom-pom ogre with a sponge

Perfect for February Setsubun crafts: Let’s make oni (demons) with sponge stamps! #preschoolcrafts #nurseryteacher #teachingideas #traineenurseryteacher #teacherlife #withkids #spongestamp #Setsubuncraft #spongestampart

How about making cute oni (ogres) with sponge stamps? All you need is construction paper and a sponge.

Use the construction paper to create the oni’s face, head, and horns.

After cutting out the parts and gluing them together, add paint to the sponge and stamp it on with a light dabbing motion.

As shown in the video, if you attach the sponge to a disposable chopstick with a rubber band, your hands will stay cleaner and stamping becomes easier.

After enjoying the stamping, draw the oni’s face to finish.

Let older adults choose their preferred colors for the construction paper and the stamp ink, and enjoy creating oni full of personality!
