Let’s make a Daruma decoration with a lovely yarn texture.

First, cut a circle out of the center of a paper plate.

Then use a hole punch to make evenly spaced holes around the inner rim.

Thread red yarn through one of the holes and tie a knot so it won’t slip out, then enjoy lacing the yarn through the holes as you like.

When you finish lacing, glue on the Daruma face and body pattern pieces made from construction paper over the yarn, and decorate the plate with stickers or plum blossoms to complete it.

Add a string for hanging, and it can be displayed like a wreath!

Kagami mochi made with whipped paint

[Recommended for New Year] Let's make Kagami Mochi with whipped paint 🎍✨

Kagami mochi, a stack of large and small rice cakes, is one of Japan’s traditional New Year decorations and perfect for New Year crafts.

This kagami mochi made with “whipped paint” uses shaving foam and liquid laundry glue.

Mix the glue and shaving foam until stiff peaks form, like meringue, and then apply it over a penciled outline of the kagami mochi, spreading it while creating volume—that’s the key.

Sketching the kagami mochi on drawing paper beforehand makes the process smoother and lets you enjoy creating your own original kagami mochi.

A lantern made from construction paper with slits

Craft: Making a lantern from a milk carton

Let’s make a lantern with a striking shape using drawing paper and a milk carton.

First, cut off the top of the milk carton, then attach drawing paper to all four sides of the carton using double-sided tape.

Decorate it cutely by adding stickers or washi tape on top.

Next, take a slightly longer sheet of colored paper, cut vertical slits into it, and wrap and attach it over the decorated carton.

Punch holes and thread chenille stems (pipe cleaners) through to finish.

You can also add patterns to the colored paper you put on top.

Give it a try!

Daruma Buzzing Top

Spins Great! Whirligig Made from a Milk Carton – Handmade New Year’s Toy [Daycare/Kindergarten]

The daruma buzz saw toy that you spin by pulling twine with both hands is a great recommendation for New Year’s play.

Cut a milk carton with scissors so the pieces connect into an oval shape.

When drawing the daruma’s face, you might enjoy it even more by giving each one a different expression.

When coloring with crayons, use your favorite colors to make it feel original.

For the string threaded through the center holes, kite twine is recommended because it’s easy to stretch and contract.

Please give it a try!

[Make and Play] Kite

[New Year Craft] 3 Ways to Make Handmade Kites for Kite Flying [Dollar Store & Recycled DIY]

Seeing people fly kites in open spaces like plazas immediately gives you that New Year’s feeling—some things never change.

Store-bought kites are great, but since you can easily make one with a plastic bag, it’s also perfect as a New Year craft.

You can stick on colored film any way you like or draw pictures on the bag with markers, and the sight of a translucent kite swimming through the sky is sure to get kids excited.

Try playing together while thinking about how to run so the kite will climb smoothly.
