[For Seniors] February Wall Decorations Are All About Setsubun! Fun Ideas with Oni and Ehomaki (1–10)
Setsubun! Oni head
Let’s decorate the February bulletin board using various parts.
In addition to ogre hair made from tissue paper and origami ogre pants, we’ll also make holly-and-sardine talismans, ofuda charms, and plum blossoms.
Crumple paper to add wrinkles for texture, open thin tissue paper sheet by sheet—these are easy crafts that also exercise fine motor skills.
Arrange the layout with the ogre hair as the main feature and decorate around it with the other parts.
Make the ogre hair in a variety of colors, and write “Oni wa soto” (Demons out) and “Fuku wa uchi” (Fortune in) on the ofuda.

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.

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!

Here’s a handmade idea for a tiger-pattern wreath using a paper plate.
Cut out the inner circle of the paper plate to make a ring, then paint it yellow.
Once the paint dries, tear black construction paper into thin strips and glue them on to create a tiger pattern.
Next, decorate the plate with paper cutouts of an oni (ogre), a smiling Otafuku face, and a bean-filled masu box.
Hang a holly-and-sardine talisman in the center using a pipe cleaner, and you’re done.
Write any message you like on the talisman.
The oni’s pants can be any color, so use your favorite!
Perfectly round demon
Here are some ideas for making ogre (oni) decorations using construction paper and origami.
This project creates round-shaped oni, making it perfect if you want a cute wall display.
The process is simple: use a template to cut out the parts, then layer and glue them together.
For the pattern on the oni’s pants, tear origami paper into thin strips and apply them.
You can download the template from the video description.
Be sure to use it and try making Setsubun decorations.
Using a variety of colors will give you a bright, festive finish!
Yarn: Making a Friendly Oni Wall Hanging
Decorate your room with an Oni theme to bring a Setsubun vibe.
In this idea, you wrap yarn around thick paper, then attach felt parts for the face and horns to make the oni.
After making a red oni and a blue oni, glue them onto a base; add holly leaves and a paper label with the word “Setsubun” to finish.
Decorate the four corners of the base with washi-pattern origami or tape, and place gem or pearl stickers in the empty spaces.
The impression changes depending on whether you use the square base as-is or rotate it into a diamond shape.
Punch a hole in the base, thread a red ribbon through, and finish it so it can be hung on the wall.
Hanging decorations for Setsubun
This is a hanging decoration made like a curtain by arranging various Setsubun-themed origami parts at equal intervals along a string.
We’ll make six types of parts: plum blossoms, Otafuku, two kinds of ogres (oni), a metal club (kanabō), a kusudama, and tassels.
Basically, you just fold along the creases, but the kusudama is the only one made by assembling multiple units.
It may take a bit of time, so let’s proceed step by step.
Try using different origami patterns and colors to create a vibrant decoration.
Cute hanging decorations for Setsubun
Hanging decorations that you make and display while enjoying the Setsubun festivities add an original touch and can create a lovely space.
Use an awl to make a hole through the center of a round polystyrene foam ball, then wrap thread around the ball.
Make slits and cut the ball in half, and start attaching fabric to the halves.
Carefully adhere the fabric, aligning it with the slits.
Glue two strands of yarn over the slit area and tie them like a ribbon.
Thread on pom-pom balls or flowers, and your hanging decoration is complete.
Prepare a variety of colors and try making bright, cheerful hanging ornaments.
