Ehomaki (lucky direction sushi roll)

[February Craft] How to Make Ehomaki (Toilet Paper Roll, Origami) [Easy Handmade] Sushi Roll • Setsubun

Let’s make an Ehomaki using a toilet paper roll core.

The main materials are a toilet paper core, origami paper, tissues, rubber bands, and tape.

First, attach black origami paper to the side of the core to resemble seaweed.

Next, cut the origami paper for the fillings into 7.5 cm × 15 cm pieces.

Fold the cut paper in half to make a strip, roll it up tightly from the end, and glue it.

Once all the fillings are rolled, bundle them together and secure with a rubber band, wrap them with tissue, and fix them inside the core.

You’ll need the same on the other side as well, so please make two sets of fillings.

A three-dimensional ogre made with origami

[Setsubun 100-Yen DIY] Oni (demon) made with origami 👹

Many children might have a scary image of oni (ogres).

However, this oni is a cute, cone-shaped one! With some origami paper, you can easily meet a cute oni.

First, cut one sheet of origami into a semicircle.

Using a protractor, mark off about 135 degrees.

Take another sheet of origami, cut it into a semicircle as well, then trim it down to a 135-degree sector and cut it into about three long, narrow strips.

Paste these together with the first piece so they look like stripes, then roll them up into a cone shape.

Next, use chenille stems (pipe cleaners) to make the oni’s hair, and use round stickers or small pieces of cut origami to create and attach the facial features and patterns.

That’s it—you’re done!

Making oni masks

Making Oni Masks with 2-Year-Olds [Yaizu Preschool]

Let’s make oni masks to wear for Setsubun! As a first step, cut the base shapes for the oni’s face and hair from construction paper.

Next, cut out the parts for the eyes, nose, fangs, cheeks, and horns, and pre-cut short pieces of yarn for the hair.

Adults can handle the prep, but it might be nice to let the children do it since it’s good practice with scissors.

Once everything is ready, glue each part onto the face base.

After the oni’s face is complete, attach it to the mask base to finish! The mask base should be prepared by an adult in advance.

a one-horned ogre

Recommended for Setsubun crafts! Let’s make an oni (demon) face with origami.

First, fold the paper into a triangle to make a crease.

Open it back up, then fold the two left edges in to meet the crease.

Once you’ve done that, rotate the paper so the folded left side is at the bottom, and flip it over.

Next, fold the top corner down about 2 cm, then fold it back up so the tip aligns with the base of the triangle you just made.

This will be the oni’s hair.

Flip the paper over again, fold the bottom corner up to create the horns on the head.

Then fold the left and right corners inward so they line up with the sides of the part you folded up, and fold the bottom corner as well to shape the face.

Your oni is complete!

Valentine wreath

Get into the Valentine’s spirit with a handmade craft! Here’s a wreath idea made using heart stamps.

Make the stamp by sticking a heart-shaped sponge sticker onto the cap of a small lactic acid drink bottle.

For the wreath base, cut a circular frame out of construction paper.

Once you’ve prepared pink or red ink or paint, stamp hearts all over the base until it’s filled.

Finish by adding parts for your favorite animal and a ribbon, and you’re done!

For Setsubun! Oni (demon) bean holder

Here’s how to make an ogre bean holder.

First, fold the origami paper into a triangle twice.

Then unfold it once, and fold up the left and right corners to make a tulip shape.

From here, we’ll make the ogre’s horns.

Unfold the parts you just folded up, then make the diagonal creases into mountain folds and the straight creases into valley folds, and collapse along the creases.

The collapsed part should become a diamond shape; fold the top two edges inward along the valley creases to make it narrower.

Do the same on the other side to complete the horns.

Next, take the top corner of the remaining triangle, fold both layers downward together, and tuck the back layer inside the origami.

Fold the front layer back up to represent the ogre’s hair.

Finally, fold the bottom corner up into a triangle and draw the face to finish.

When using it, gently open it so that the part you folded last becomes the bottom!

The hearts pop out! Let me introduce a three-dimensional origami piece.

It may look difficult to make, but once you score the folds, all that’s left is to collapse it—so kids can try it too! Once your origami paper is ready, fold it in half both ways to make a square and create a cross-shaped crease.

Open the paper back up, then bring the bottom edge up to the center crease and press only the middle with your finger to make a small crease.

Next, align the bottom edge with this new crease and make another small crease the same way.

Repeat this process on the top edge as well.

From here, we’ll move on to collapsing: first, fold the top and bottom edges along the outermost creases.

Don’t fold the entire length—press only at the center—and then fold the paper in half so the creases line up.

At this point, you should see hearts on both sides.

Next, rotate and fold it in half so the hearts sit side by side.

Glue them together so they don’t come apart, and you’re done!
