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!
Oni Piñata
https://www.tiktok.com/@lunimama_asobi/video/7327592672309316866A piñata is something like a decorative ball used in Mexican celebrations.
It’s filled with candy and hung up, and people break it open with a stick.
Making a traditional paper ball from scratch can be a bit of work, but using a paper bag makes it super easy! Just cut out ogre-themed parts from origami paper, stick them onto a paper bag, put candy inside, and seal the bag, and it’s done.
Punch holes, thread a string through, and hang it from above to make it even more like a traditional decorative ball.
You could also just hook it lightly somewhere, let the bag drop to the floor, open it up, and enjoy snack time.

Hanging decorations for Setsubun made of felt
Felt Setsubun decorations are items that gently warm up your room with a cozy vibe during the cold season.
This idea features three handmade motifs: an eho-maki sushi roll, an oni (ogre), and a holly-and-sardine charm.
Once they’re finished, place felt balls between them, line them up, and attach them to a string to make a hanging decoration.
Since you only need to cut and glue the felt, it’s an easy project even if you’re not good at sewing.
Give it a try for inspiration, and brighten up your room beautifully.
Red and Blue Oni made from wine corks
Even the oni from Setsubun, which can seem a bit scary, can be transformed into something very cute by using a wine cork.
First, paint the cork white with paint.
After that, paint it your preferred oni color.
It’s also nice to paint the oni’s pants using yellow and black paint.
Next, glue some curled yarn onto the cork as the oni’s hair.
Make the oni’s horns out of felt and stick them between the strands of hair.
Then draw the face with a pen, add any decorations you like, and it’s finished.
You can display it anywhere, so give it a try!
Oni Origami Calendar
Let’s fold motifs related to February with origami and make a February calendar! Speaking of February, there’s Setsubun.
You can’t leave out ogres, their striped pants, and a club.
It’s also the coldest time of year, but the plum blossoms are just beginning to bloom.
While looking forward to the arrival of warm spring, it’s fun to fold plum blossoms in both large and small sizes.
Once you’re done folding, paste them onto a backing sheet, write in the dates, and you’re finished.
We see calendars every day, but when it’s a handmade calendar filled with warmth, you can’t help but stop and take a long look at it.
String Art of Oni for Setsubun
String art is an art form where you create pictures and patterns using nails hammered into a wooden board and thread.
First, decide on a design and sketch it on paper to determine where to place the nails.
Then align the sketch with the wooden board, hammer in the nails, and wrap the thread to create an oni (ogre/demon) motif.
String art can also depict letters, so it might be nice to make the word “Setsubun” to go with it.
Display the finished piece in your room to enhance the Setsubun atmosphere.
Because it uses fine motor skills and encourages focused work, string art is perfect for indoor activities during the cold season.
Oni Underpants Garland
Speaking of oni pants, the classic is yellow with black tiger stripes! But in this idea, we break out of that set mold and make oni pants in a variety of patterns.
Snow bunnies, plum blossoms, masu cups labeled with “good fortune,” and even oni faces…
We have to tip our hats to these designs that feel fresh yet familiar.
They’re all colorful and super cute, so why not use them as inspiration to make an oni garland? Basically, you just cut out parts from construction paper and paste them on, but there are quite a few variations—like two different pant shapes—so be careful as you work.
