Paper plate Daruma dolls and zodiac masks that you can easily make with kids are sure to liven up New Year’s celebrations.

Get a paper plate, paint, chopsticks, and scissors ready, and let’s start.

Cut out the eye holes in the paper plate with scissors.

For the handle, glue a pair of chopsticks together.

Paint the entire paper plate, then add patterns and decorations to the body or face area, and you’re done.

Try poking your eyes through the cutouts and taking photos for fun.

It might also be fun to make them using pipe cleaners or yarn.

Let’s make it by sticking! Uma-Daruma

Let me introduce a craft idea for a horse daruma with an adorable pose of a horse looking up at you.

First, cut four strip-shaped pieces from red construction paper.

Arrange them in a radial pattern, glue them together at the center, then bring all the ends together and glue to form a sphere.

Attach a horse face made from another piece of construction paper to the top of the sphere, place the sphere on a square base, and glue it down to finish.

I’m presenting it as a horse daruma this time, but you can adapt the idea to match each year’s zodiac animal.

You could also add a piece on the base with the characters for “Welcoming the New Year.”

How to make cute Seven Lucky Gods daruma dolls!

[Wall Decoration] Origami Paper Craft: 'How to Make the Seven Lucky Gods Daruma' – Activities for Elderly Care and Preschool Crafts | How to Make a Japanese Daruma Doll

Perfect for wall decorations! Let’s make some cute Seven Lucky Daruma.

You’ll need construction paper cut to 6×15 cm and white paper for the face base.

First, create a glue tab along one of the short edges, then fold the construction paper in half to make a crease.

Next, align the crease with the glue tab fold and fold the paper again, then cut slits from the folded side with scissors.

The slit section becomes the body, and the remaining section is the head.

Glue the tab at the boundary between the body and head, draw a face on the white paper, cut it into an oval, and attach it.

Finally, fold in the corners of the construction paper to round them off, and you’re done! Make seven of them inspired by the Seven Lucky Gods and display them.

Daruma’s Mayudama Rolling

[Easy!] Daruma Doll Mayudama Rolling [New Year’s Craft]

A mysterious toy with a marble inside that moves as if it’s alive when you roll it: the Mayudama Roller.

In this idea, it’s made with a daruma motif.

First, cut three strip-shaped pieces measuring 1.5 × 10 cm from red construction paper.

Layer the three strips radially and glue them together at the center.

Gather all the ends, place a marble inside, and glue the ends together to form a sphere.

Then stick on a white round sticker with a face drawn on it to finish.

Try rolling it down a slope and have fun!

Make It with Resist Painting! Gloves and Hat

Crayon Resist Painting: Winter Craft for Ages 3 and Up

Are you familiar with the crayon-resist technique? It’s a method where you paint watercolor over a drawing made with white crayon, and the paint is repelled by the crayon so the drawing emerges.

Because you can barely see what you’ve drawn in white crayon, applying the paint can lead to surprisingly delightful results.

Try drawing on colored construction paper cut into winter-themed shapes like scarves, hats, and gloves.

If you plan to display the artwork, you can mount it on a backing board afterward.
