[For Seniors] Hinamatsuri Recreation: Fun Ideas for Games, Crafts, and Snack Making

Self-standing Hina Dolls you can make even if you’re super clumsy

[Easy Origami] Hinamatsuri: A self-standing Ohinasama (Hina doll) folding method — with scepter, crown, and fan — Odairisama

Let’s make some cute hina dolls that will look adorable even displayed at the entrance.

Cut a sheet of origami paper in half, fold it in half, then overlap and fold the left and right sides to create the kimonos for the empress (ohinasama) and the emperor (odairisama).

Tuck the triangular flap inside to finish.

For the face parts, prepare one sheet of black origami paper, fold it in thirds, then fold one third in half; as you fold the corners, shape the hair while checking the balance.

Finally, fold up from the bottom to complete the face parts.

For the odairisama, make the crown by shaping the tip to a point, then fold the corners to give it a rounded form.

Once you make the fan, ladle, and crown, it’s complete.

Hanging Hina Dolls Made with Jam Lids

@an_hoiku_seisaku

I made a hanging Hina decoration using jam jar lids 🎎 Check my previous post for the origami Hina dolls! They’re super easy ✨#HinamatsuriCraft#Childcare Crafting#Production VideoMarchHina DollsProduction#Nursery school

♬ cute kawaii – nanaacom

Let’s make an original hanging decoration using jam jar lids, origami paper, construction paper, tissue paper, and kite string.

The origami part will be Hina dolls.

First, fold up two adjacent edges.

Fold so that the folded section and the remaining section are the same width.

Draw faces on the remaining white area, and fold up the bottom corner to finish.

With construction paper, we’ll make a spherical ornament: cut it into circles, fold them in half, then stack and glue them together.

Attach the Hina dolls and ornaments to the kite string, tie them to a lid frame (with only the rim remaining), and finish by gluing rolled-up tissue paper to the side.

Hanging ornament made with felt balls

You can make this hanging decoration using only items from a 100-yen shop! Here are some ideas.

All you need are artificial flowers, felt balls, and clips.

The steps are simple: clip three felt balls onto your favorite parts of the artificial flowers, then use a glue gun to attach two more felt balls to hide the clips.

If you choose flower-shaped clips, the result will look like peach blossoms.

Pick soft colors like pink or white for the cotton (felt) balls to create a cute look.

Display them on a wall or in a vase to enjoy the Hinamatsuri atmosphere.

This is a paper-plate hanging decoration you’ll want to display in your room.

First, glue torn pieces of pink and white tissue paper onto a paper plate.

Then make a hole in the center of the plate and thread yarn tied to a straw through it.

On the opposite side, add a bead as a stopper and glue it in place.

Thread twine through the straw and attach paper hina dolls made from construction paper to the end.

Punch four holes at the bottom of the paper plate, thread yarn decorated with paper peach blossoms and circular ornaments through them, and tie to finish.

Simply changing the colors of the tissue paper and construction paper will give it a different feel.

Let me show you how to make a hanging Hina decoration that anyone can create easily.

First, accordion-fold a plain sheet of origami paper and fold it in half.

Then, sandwich a patterned origami paper folded the same way inside and glue them together.

This will become the body of the Hina doll.

After that, just attach a face and small accessories made from construction paper and you’re done.

Next, let’s make decorations like peach blossoms and hishi-mochi.

Tie kite string to a base made from a tapioca (bubble tea) straw, then glue on the Hina dolls and the decorations, and you’re all set! If cutting out the parts is difficult, prepare them in advance.

Two types of hanging decorations with plum blossoms

Two types of cute paper plum blossom decorations (with audio commentary) – How to make

How about a plum-blossom decoration that’s very simple yet instantly adds a festive touch just by displaying it? Here are two types of hanging ornaments you can make with colored construction paper.

Prepare five strips each of 2 cm × 15 cm and 2 cm × 10 cm paper.

Stack two strips, align the ends, staple them, and round them into a petal shape.

Make five of these in the same way and glue them together.

Finish by attaching a circular piece of paper in the center.

For the second type, cut two sheets of origami into circles, shape each into petals, then cut one to create a three-dimensional effect and glue them together.

Once both types of plum blossoms are finished, use string or ribbon to make them into hanging ornaments.

They sway beautifully as elegant plum-blossom decorations.
