[Childcare] Perfect for Hinamatsuri! Hanging Hina doll craft ideas you can make with kids

[Construction paper] Perfectly Round Hanging Hina (dolls)

[Hinamatsuri Crafts #2] Decorate with cute hina dolls using an easy DIY! How to make hanging hina decorations [Ashitaba Channel]

Here’s an idea for a “tsurushi-bina” (hanging Hina dolls) featuring the gentle texture of washi paper.

To make it, start by shaping wire into circles—this step should be done by the teacher.

Once you have three wire circles, fix each one onto a sheet of washi and trim away the excess with scissors.

Make slits, sandwich the wire, and glue the paper to the inside.

Use pieces cut from thin paper to decorate the fronts as the Empress (Ohinasama) and Emperor (Odairisama).

Then use a cuticle stick to make holes for threading the strings.

Since the cuticle stick is sharp and dangerous, the teacher should handle the hole-punching.

Finally, thread the strings through the holes, and you’re done!

♬ A versatile, simple acoustic song – Ai stock music.

Let’s make a cute, round-shaped hanging decoration for Hinamatsuri! Stack pink, blue, light peach, and black origami paper, set a compass to about 3 cm, draw circles, and cut them out.

Fold the black circle in half, then cut it vertically in half; cut the pink origami in half as well.

Glue the cut black pieces onto the light peach circle as hair.

Attach the cut pink piece to make a kimono, then trim any excess into a neat round shape.

You can make the Odairi-sama (the Emperor doll) the same way.

Once you’ve added all the parts like the fan and eboshi (court cap), it’s complete.

Make plum blossoms, lanterns, and hishimochi in the same way, then string them up and display them!

Hanging Hina Dolls made from cardboard

@ai_paint_diy

Long time no see! Today, I tried making an easy hanging Hina decoration out of cardboard for Girls’ Day. If an adult handles just the cutting, even little kids can enjoy making it together.

Here’s an idea for uniquely shaped, egg-shaped hanging Hina ornaments.

The steps are very simple: cut out two egg shapes from cardboard.

Draw the faces of the Hina doll (the Empress) and the Odairi-sama (the Emperor), then cut out kimono shapes from origami paper and paste them on.

Using Japanese-patterned origami gives the kimono a more authentic look and is recommended.

Next, cut out plum blossoms, pine, and other motifs from cardboard in the same way.

Finally, line them up in a single vertical row and secure them from the back with tape to finish.

You can even make these from cardboard scraps, so try making and displaying them with cardboard you have at school or at home.

Fluttering Lily-of-the-Valley Tape Hanging Hina Decoration

Enjoy the sheer, airy look! Here are some ideas for making hanging Hina decorations with fluttery raffia (suzuran) tape.

You’ll need construction paper, stickers, scissors, double-sided tape, origami paper, and suzuran tape.

When you think of suzuran tape, you probably imagine shredding it for crafts, right? This time, we’ll use the tape without shredding! Because the tape is light, it will sway and flutter in the breeze—sure to captivate children.

You can also change up the colors of the suzuran tape to enjoy a different mood.

Hanging Hina Dolls made with straws and disposable chopsticks

Let’s make it with familiar materials! Here’s an idea for a hanging Hina decoration using straws and wooden chopsticks.

What you’ll need: wooden chopsticks, straws, craft glue, thread, beads, Hina dolls (the Empress and Emperor) made from origami or construction paper, a craft punch, and double-sided tape.

When you try to make Hina Festival decorations, you might find you can’t start right away because you have to gather new materials.

This idea is recommended because you can make it with things you already have at home or in the classroom.

Threading the straws onto the string also helps develop fine motor skills and can provide stimulating exercise for the brain!

The translucent look is adorable—tsurushi-bina (hanging hina dolls).

Let’s make it with colored cellophane! Here are some ideas for adorable translucent hanging Hina decorations.

What you’ll need: a plastic cup, a thick straw, paper craft versions of the Empress and Emperor, colored cellophane, yarn, glue, scissors, double-sided tape, an awl, and origami flower parts.

Hina Festival decorations often use traditional origami, but how about switching things up with colored cellophane for a different vibe? Display them by a window—the sunlight will shine through and reflect beautifully, creating a soothing effect!
