For Seniors: Wishing for Good Health — Handmade Setsubun Decoration Ideas

Oni Paper Craft

[Craft Idea] Setsubun Crafts - Oni (Demon) Paper Crafts (February) (Recreation for Seniors) (Early Childhood/Educational) (Wall Decorations) (Creative) (Fine Motor Skills) (Oni/Winter)

Let’s make an ogre (oni) paper craft that takes advantage of paper’s ability to hold its curled shape.

No matter what kind of paper you use, if you press it against the edge of a table or a ruler and pull it through, you can create tight little curls, right? Use that to represent the ogre’s hair.

The technique of curling paper into fine, tight spirals is called paper quilling.

This project is a great chance to try paper quilling! Also, if you crumple origami paper into small balls to form the facial features, your piece will have a nice three-dimensional look.

Give it a try!

🐶 @buchiko_hoiku ◂◂◂◂ Check out my other posts, too 🌼 Thank you so much for all the likes 🩷 This time! A Setsubun craft for toddlers 👹 Isn’t this tiger-pattern wreath so cute? 🫶🏻 I keep making wreath crafts 😂 I guess I really like making wreaths 🤭 lol The wreath doesn’t have to be yellow—make it unique with your favorite colors like pink or blue 🙆🏻‍♀️ Cutting out the oni and the god of fortune uses scissors, so it’s great practice for continuous cutting ✌🏻 At the end, think about the “oni” inside yourself that you want to chase away and write it on a strip of paper. It helps kids understand the meaning of Setsubun and join in without being scared of the oni ✊🏻 And!! This craft is also available as a kit for purchase 🌟 Craft kits saved me when I was actively teaching, so now I want to help teachers who are struggling! I make each one with that in mind ✂️ Links to Mercari and BASE are in my profile! I sell other crafts too, so I’d be happy if you take a look 👀 A follow would make me even happier 🥴💕 lol Please try making it yourself 🌈 I’d love to hear your “I made it!” reports—they really motivate me 🥹❤️‍🔥 Thank you for reading to the end 🐶 I share ideas you can easily copy from introduction to crafting ♬︎ Likes ♥, saves 𖤘, and follows 𖤐 would make me cry with joy 😂 lol Comments are also very welcome 🤍🤍Nursery teacher / Childcare workerKindergarten TeacherWinter Craft#Wall CreationToddler CraftsPlay that expands from picture booksSetsubun craft

Using a paper plate, you can easily create a wreath-like craft.

This piece uses Setsubun, a major event in February, as its theme.

Cut a circular hole from the center of the paper plate to make a donut shape, then paint it yellow.

Tear black construction paper into long, thin strips and paste them onto the plate.

This completes the base with a distinctive yellow-and-black pattern that looks like an oni’s pants.

Next, make items like an oni (ogre), Okame, a masu (wooden box), and beans using construction paper or origami, and stick them onto the plate.

You’ll end up with a craft perfect for Setsubun.

Since it uses a lot of fine finger movements, it also seems helpful for stimulating the brain.

Setsubun hanging decoration

How to Make Paper Hanging Decorations for Setsubun! Handcrafted February winter ornaments like one-horned oni demons and Otafuku [Tsukuru Mon]

When it comes to events in February, many people might think of Setsubun.

In many regions, people throw roasted soybeans while saying, “Oni wa soto, fuku wa uchi” (Demons out, good fortune in).

Making Setsubun-themed wall decorations can help older adults feel the season, too.

You can create hanging ornament parts using long, narrow strips of construction paper.

By gluing together or folding the cut paper, you can make parts like oni (demons) and kanabō (spiked clubs).

Try placing round-cut pieces of washi-patterned origami or thick paper between the parts.

This enhances the Japanese seasonal atmosphere, and the round shapes can also represent beans.

Tissue paper ogre wall display

You might find yourself wanting to touch this wall decoration of an oni made with fluffy, three-dimensional tissue paper.

First, sketch a large outline of the oni on cardboard and decide on the size and shape you want to make.

Prepare the colors and number of tissue sheets according to the size.

Lightly crumple the tissue paper to give it a fluffy look, creating pieces to attach to the illustration.

Use double-sided tape to adhere the tissue pieces to the drawing as you go.

The key is to pack them tightly so there are no gaps and to build them up for a three-dimensional effect.

Using yarn for the hair is also recommended.

Give it a try!

Torn Ehomaki Demon

Speaking of ehomaki, the classic look is the black color of seaweed, but in this idea, we’ll make an ehomaki with a tiger pattern.

First, cut yellow construction paper into the shape of an ehomaki, then glue on thin, torn strips of paper to create the tiger stripes.

Attach a paper-made ogre (oni) face to the top of the ehomaki, and glue hand pieces on the front so it looks like the ogre is holding it.

Make the ogre’s mouth wide open, and use sparkly stickers for the pupils to better convey how delicious the ehomaki is.

Oni made with crumpled tissue paper

Let’s all work together to roll up tissue paper and make an ogre wall decoration! The method is super simple: just roll and stick.

Prepare lots of rolled tissue paper pieces, draw the ogre’s face, and stick the pieces onto a backing sheet with double-sided tape.

The colors differ by part—eyes, horns, hair, cheeks—so adjust how many pieces you roll to match each area.

Adding words like “Oni wa soto, fuku wa uchi” will make it feel even more like a Setsubun decoration.

In the cold of winter, let’s warm our hearts with shared laughter as we create together!

Handmade Oni hat

@tomo_mama_

[Too easy 👹] I made it with things I mostly had at home 💖SetsubunOni of Setsubun#Setsubun DayBean-throwing (Setsubun)#Oni cosplay#Oni Hat#ParentingMomMom of a 2-year-old#HandmadeAccessoriesHandmade

Let’s try making a handmade ogre (oni) hat! The main material is yarn.

Choose yarn in your favorite color and wrap it around a piece of cardboard over and over.

Once it’s thick enough, slide it off the cardboard, tie it in the middle, and round it out to form the hair section.

Next, draw patterns on construction paper, roll it into cone-shaped horn pieces, and glue them onto the yarn.

Finally, attach everything to the hat base made from cardboard and elastic, and you’re done! It’ll turn out so cute that you’ll be counting down the days to Setsubun.
