Leveraging my experience working as a care worker at a day service, I am currently active as a writer in the caregiving and welfare fields. Beyond writing, I hope to expand my work into web design and illustration. I am a mother of three who has begun studying to become a certified social worker.

Decorations that brighten up the walls during Setsubun are a wonderful way to feel the season’s arrival.

Let’s make colorful, festive Setsubun decorations! Beyond the classic oni (demons), motifs unique to Setsubun—such as ehomaki sushi rolls, masu wooden boxes, and holly with sardines—lift the spirits just by looking at them.

Many projects use familiar materials like origami and construction paper, so you can enjoy crafting with just a few supplies.

Using finger stamps or sponge stamps can add an exciting twist to your creations.

While sharing memories of past Setsubun celebrations, why not make a variety of colorful pieces—red and blue oni, and even Otafuku to invite good fortune?

[For Seniors] February Wall Decorations Are All About Setsubun! Fun Ideas with Oni Demons and Ehomaki (21–30)

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

February Original Calendar Easy creation Fun for both kids and adults At-home play #2022 Original Calendar I love the admins.I kind of want to go viral Demons out, fortune in.Setsubun
“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 worker Kindergarten Teacher Winter Craft #Wall Creation Infant Craft Play that expands from picture books Setsubun 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

Karakuri Hekimen February #KarakuriHekimen

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/7330829561594203393

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!

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.

On Setsubun, it’s said to be good luck to eat an ehomaki while facing the year’s auspicious direction.

I’m sure many of you have tried it at least once.

Ehomaki traditionally has seven fillings, in reference to the Seven Lucky Gods, but in this wall display idea, the filling part is made into an oni (demon).

It’s a bit surprising, but the design is striking, and it might be a two-birds-with-one-stone idea that expresses both the ehomaki and the oni together.

All you have to do is cut out the parts from construction paper and paste them together, so feel free to give it a try!
