Three-tier display: rabbit Hina dollsNEW!
Tiered Hina doll displays are gorgeous and impressive, aren’t they? These days, you don’t see as many tiered Hina sets, but in the past, many households of older generations likely displayed them.
Here is a three-tiered rabbit Hina doll set that lets you look back on those memories.
Use craft decoration balls and felt to make the Hina dolls.
Attach wrapping paper with peach blossoms or pink flowers to a display stand sold at 100-yen shops.
Then place the dolls you made—along with the three court ladies and hishi-mochi—on top to complete the display.
Making them as rabbits gives the set an even cuter feel.
Rabbit Hinamatsuri decorationNEW!
Crafts featuring rabbits are so cute, aren’t they? They’re a perfect motif for Hinamatsuri crafts, too.
Prepare origami paper with colors or patterns on both sides.
Make some slits and create a donut-shaped ring.
Make a rabbit’s face and attach it on top of the ring.
Add decorations to the rabbit like those of hina dolls.
Try adding items such as the imperial prince’s shaku or the imperial princess’s open fan.
Adding lace around the neck will make it even cuter.
Older adults are sure to smile as they create these adorable rabbit crafts.
Easter egg bunny
Some of you might be surprised to learn that you can easily make Easter eggs using toilet paper rolls.
Since toilet paper rolls are something you have at home, they’re easy to craft with.
Be sure to prepare some origami paper, too.
Draw an adorable, original bunny and decorate it cutely with origami.
This is where you can show off your skills! It stimulates creativity, so it will energize both mind and body.
Once you’re done, we recommend displaying it in your room.
towel rabbit
The towel bunny has a fluffy feel, just like a stuffed animal.
Its design is so clever that it might look difficult, but it’s actually easy to make by hand.
All you need are items you can find at a 100-yen shop, like a towel, rubber bands, tape, and colored paper.
The key to a good finish is shaping the bunny’s form with the towel.
Since you use your fingers during this step, it can also help with rehabilitation for older adults.
Once you’ve created the shape, all that’s left is to decorate it cutely.
Have fun making it together!
Rabbit garland
This is a rabbit garland made with softly colored yarn.
Because the decoration lines up rabbit faces side by side, you can create connected art as you assemble the garland.
To make the rabbits’ round faces, we recommend getting a pom-pom maker from a 100-yen shop.
Wrap your favorite yarn around it, snip, and tie to complete the pom-poms.
At this point, tie the pom-poms onto a string to form the garland.
Next, attach ears made from felt and pre-cut fabric to the faces to complete the cute rabbits.
When using fasteners or scissors, please have a staff member assist.
Rabbit hat
Let’s make a rabbit hat that’s fun to craft and delightful to wear, with ears that move! How about trying on a cute, playful hat whose bunny ears hop up and down? Attach strings to the ears, and when you pull from below, the ears move—since it’s made to your own size, it becomes a special item for events.
If there are parts that are difficult for older adults, let’s do them together.
Change the colors, add expressions, and create your very own original rabbit hat!
A snow rabbit made with tsumami-zaiku
This time, let’s make a snow rabbit using tsumami-zaiku.
You can create a cute item inspired by snow rabbits made from snow, leaves, and berries.
First, cut an egg-shaped Styrofoam ball in half, glue chirimen crepe fabric onto the Styrofoam, and trim off the excess.
Next, attach the ear pieces made from chirimen to the body.
Finally, add the eyes with beads, and you’re done! The simple steps make it great for recreational activities for seniors, too.
How about making a heartwarming little item?
