mochi-pounding rabbit
A three-dimensional rabbit made from construction paper, pounding mochi, charms with its adorable look and adds a festive New Year’s touch to your wall decor.
Pairing its snow-like white color with kagami mochi or other Japanese-style ornaments will heighten the distinctly January New Year mood.
It’s also great that you can create your own original scene by arranging the colors and parts.
Brighten your January wall with a warm, handmade, and cute “mochi-pounding rabbit,” and fill the space with a cheerful, lively atmosphere.
It will help boost the excitement of welcoming the New Year even more.
rabbit daruma
A “Rabbit Daruma” you can make using A4-size printer paper.
Along with the plump, daruma-shaped rabbit, you can also create a kadomatsu inspired by a carrot, instantly brightening the New Year atmosphere just by displaying them.
The simple process of cutting and pasting makes it perfect for large group wall displays in places like senior facilities or childcare settings.
You can freely arrange the combination of the rabbit daruma and the carrot to fit your space, adding charm and liveliness to the entire wall.

Hinamatsuri wreath
This is a soft and cute craft that combines Hina dolls with a wreath, all made from soft felt pom-poms.
First, thread pom-poms onto wire, form them into a ring to make the wreath, and then create Hina dolls sized to match that ring.
Hina dolls with a rabbit motif are recommended—this lets you take advantage of the pom-poms’ round shape while clearly highlighting the spring theme.
Using spring-inspired colors throughout is an important point that helps convey the joy of the warm season’s arrival.
Rabbit’s Easter egg
Easter is a festival that celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and it is set on a Sunday between late March and April each year.
Eggs and rabbits, regarded as symbols of rebirth and prosperity, are known as Easter symbols.
This time, we’ll introduce an origami Easter bunny.
After folding an Easter bunny with your favorite color or pattern of origami paper, use a pen or colored pencils to draw the eyes and mouth.
You can give it personality depending on the kind of face you choose.
By the way, each egg color has its own meaning, so how about turning it into a quiz as you work?
Snow Rabbits and Sasanqua
The snow bunnies and camellia craft is really lovely, isn’t it? Cutting colored paper and assembling the flowers sparks the imagination.
It might take some time, but it also helps build concentration.
Following along with a video is a great idea, too.
Since the instructions are easy to understand, it seems perfect for everyone to enjoy together at day service centers and similar places.
Why not get creative with the bunny’s big eyes and adorable expression to make a one-of-a-kind piece? By drawing on the rich sensitivities and experiences of older adults, I’m sure wonderful works will be completed.
It will surely be an enjoyable time.
Rabbit ema (a wooden Shinto votive tablet featuring a rabbit)
Let’s try making an ema plaque featuring the zodiac using a kit.
Many facilities probably create New Year’s crafts around the year-end and New Year holidays.
Using a kit makes preparation easy and allows you to create lovely pieces.
Cut out the parts with scissors and attach them to the ema plaque that serves as the base.
The process of applying glue to the small parts and sticking them onto the plaque seems like something you can really focus on.
There are reports suggesting that, for dementia prevention, concentrating on new tasks is more beneficial than doing familiar ones.
By using a kit to create a beautiful piece, you can also expect brain-training benefits.
Fukuwarai wall decoration of a rabbit daruma
Would you like to make a rabbit daruma decoration—an arrangement perfect for New Year’s that adds a cute twist to the traditional daruma and brightens up your wall décor? Use the template downloadable from YouTube to cut out each part.
For round pieces like the eyes, a circle punch is handy.
Once everything is cut out, glue the parts in place while referring to the template.
The expression will change depending on where you position the pieces, which is part of the fun.
Give it a try!
