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.

Oni made with crumpled tissue paper

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!

Handmade Oni hat

@tomo_mama_

[Too easy 👹] I made it with things I mostly had at home 💖SetsubunOni of Setsubun#Setsubun DayBean-throwing (Setsubun)#Oni cosplay#Oni Hat#ParentingMomMom of a 2-year-old#HandmadeAccessoriesHandmade

Let’s try making a handmade ogre (oni) hat! The main material is yarn.

Choose yarn in your favorite color and wrap it around a piece of cardboard over and over.

Once it’s thick enough, slide it off the cardboard, tie it in the middle, and round it out to form the hair section.

Next, draw patterns on construction paper, roll it into cone-shaped horn pieces, and glue them onto the yarn.

Finally, attach everything to the hat base made from cardboard and elastic, and you’re done! It’ll turn out so cute that you’ll be counting down the days to Setsubun.

When you do mamemaki (bean throwing), it’s handy to have a container for the beans, right? In that case, let’s make one by hand from a milk carton! Cut the carton to the depth you want, leaving one side longer to use as a lid.

After covering the outside with origami paper, punch two holes on the sides for a string, and attach Velcro to the front side and the lid.

Thread a strap so you can hang it around your neck, then draw an ogre’s face or add horn and hair pieces, and you’re done.

Fill it with beans and enjoy Setsubun!

tiger-pattern wreath

@buchiko_hoiku

🐶 @buchiko_hoiku ◂◂◂◂ Check out my other posts, too 🌼 Thank you so much for all the likes 🩷 This time! 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! I sell 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 your “I made it!” reports—they really motivate me 🥹❤️‍🔥 Thank you for reading to the end 🐶 I share ideas you can easily copy from introduction to crafting ♬︎ Likes ♥, saves 𖤘, and follows 𖤐 would make me cry with joy 😂 lol Comments are also very welcome 🤍🤍Nursery teacher / Childcare workerKindergarten TeacherWinter Craft#Wall CreationToddler CraftsPlay that expands from picture booksSetsubun craft

When you think of what oni (Japanese ogres) wear, it’s got to be tiger-striped pants! It’s a cute choice for such fearsome creatures, isn’t it? Tiger stripes that evoke oni are perfect to include in February wall decorations.

Cut out the center of a paper plate to make a ring and paint it yellow.

Once it’s dry, tear black construction paper by hand and paste it onto the plate to create a tiger-stripe pattern.

Trim any excess, then attach Setsubun motifs like oni or Otafuku made from origami or construction paper, and your tiger-striped wreath is complete.

You can stick it on the wall or hang it from above—there are lots of fun ways to display it.

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.

Demon Balance Game

@chooobo2

Balance game 👹 This material will be distributed via an Instagram subscription ✨ You can also play by stacking plastic bottle caps or sponges 🌼Made in FebruarySetsubun craftSetsubun#HandmadeToyspaper plate#AtHomePlayPaper Plate Craft

Oria – niKu

Let’s try playing a Setsubun balance game where you place little ogres (oni) on a base made from a paper plate.

The base is shaped like a semicircle, so each time you add an oni it wobbles, keeping players on edge.

Players take turns placing oni, and whoever causes the balance to tip and makes the oni fall loses.

This game is easy to make with just a paper plate and a single sheet of paper printed with oni illustrations.

Fold the paper plate in half, then add parallel creases to the left and right of the center fold to fix it into a semicircle.

For the oni, print the illustrations on paper, cut them into strips, and fold them into rectangular shapes.
