Setsubun wall decoration made with paper plates

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!

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.
demon’s face

Let’s use red and yellow tissue-paper parts to create a big ogre (oni) face on the wall! Its impact will surely surprise everyone and help them feel the spirit of Setsubun, an important event in February.
To make each part, stack several sheets of tissue paper, accordion-fold them, tie the center with string, then open the layers one by one.
Make as many parts as you need, using red for the ogre’s face and yellow for the hair.
Finally, cut out the facial features and horns from construction paper and stick them on to finish.
Adding a spiked club (kanabō) and some little ogres will make the display even livelier!
February calendar

“Demons out! Fortune in!” – TMW
Let’s incorporate an ogre (oni) face into the February calendar to boost the Setsubun spirit! The key feature of this craft is, without a doubt, creating the hair with yarn.
It gives the calendar a fun, three-dimensional look.
Make the eyes, nose, mouth, and other parts from construction paper and stick them onto your preferred color of paper.
The face can be smiling or angry—either works.
Fold an okame (good-luck lady) with origami, and once you’ve made the hair by curling yarn, it’s complete.
Adding a phrase like “Good fortune comes to a smiling home” or writing your goals for the month would be wonderful, too! It’s a piece that will make you smile every time you see it and look forward to Setsubun.
Simple and cute Setsubun wreath
@buchiko_hoiku 🐶 @buchiko_hoiku ◂◂◂◂ Check out my other posts too 🌼 Thank you so much for all the likes 🩷 This time, it’s a Setsubun wreath for infants 🌸 Kids can enjoy sensory play by crumpling tissue paper and practice fine motor skills by sticking stickers—it's a craft even little ones can enjoy 😆💕 I love wreaths so much that I ended up making another wreath craft 🤣 lol And!! This craft is available as a kit 🌟 Craft kits saved me when I was still teaching, so now I want to help teachers who are struggling! I make each one with that intention ✂️ I prepared two types of kits: one for mainly enjoying the sensory play with tissue paper while also decorating, and another for carefully enjoying the process with fine motor sticker work ✊🏻🤍 Links to my Mercari and BASE shops are in my profile! I’m selling 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 if you made it—it really encourages me 🥹❤️🔥 Thank you for reading to the end 🐶 I share easy-to-copy ideas from introduction to crafting ♬︎ I’ll cry tears of joy if you like ♥, save 𖤘, and follow 𖤐 😂 lol Comments are also very welcome 🤍🤍Nursery teacher / Childcare workerKindergarten TeacherWinter Craft#Wall CreationInfant CraftPlay that expands from picture booksSetsubun craft

You can make a lovely Setsubun wreath using tissue paper, construction paper, and paper plates.
Cut out the center of the paper plate and attach crumpled tissue paper.
It looks charming in pink or red to evoke plum blossoms.
Cut out parts from construction paper to create an oni (ogre), an okame (mask/face), and a masu box filled with beans.
Staff can pre-cut the construction paper pieces, and seniors can be asked to assemble the parts and draw the faces.
It’s very easy to make a cute wreath, so it would likely be a hit to make at home with your grandchildren.
February karakuri wall display: Ehomaki
A whimsical “karakuri hekimen” that surprises and delights viewers.
For February, let’s make a karakuri hekimen with an eho-maki (lucky sushi roll) motif! You can buy felt, magnets, and a sushi rolling mat at a 100-yen shop.
Fold cardboard into a tube and attach magnets inside.
Prepare four of these tubes, then wrap them in red, yellow, light green, and brown felt to create the fillings.
Combine black and white felt for the rice and nori, attach the fillings at equal intervals, and secure the rolling mat—your eho-maki is complete.
Make plum blossoms, an oni (ogre), and beans with a wooden masu box for decorations to fully capture the Setsubun season! A karakuri hekimen that inspires surprise and wonder—why not give it a try?
Oni made with crumpled tissue paper
https://www.tiktok.com/@fukushidan1979/video/7330829561594203393Let’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!
A powerful and realistic oni

Decorations and craft-style oni tend to have a cute look.
However, oni are originally terrifying beings that could make children cry.
If you’re aiming for realism, why not create a wall decoration showing a demon’s fierce expression amid blazing flames? Make the background with red, orange, and yellow construction paper, then attach a red oni cut from construction paper or origami on top to complete a powerful demon decoration.
Using sparkly origami or tapes adds depth and makes it feel more lifelike.
