Setsubun: Making an ogre-themed bean-holder pouch from a milk carton

It’s a cute little demon-themed pochette that will make you want to carry not just Setsubun beans but all kinds of small items! Cut a milk carton to a size that makes it easy for children to put their hands in and take things out.

Leave one side longer so it can serve as the flap of the pochette.

Next, cover the sides with construction paper in your favorite colors, and attach horns, hair, and facial features so that when the flap is closed, it looks like an oni face.

Add a string so it can hang from the neck, and you’ll be all set to enjoy bean-throwing to the fullest!

bean container

[Childcare Craft] Perfect for Setsubun crafts! Bean holder made from a paper carton | Setsubun Handmade Bean Case

Bean-throwing, which carries the wish to drive away evil and invite happiness, is one of the most enjoyable events of Setsubun.

A bean container to keep the beans at hand is also an essential element of the celebration.

By making one from a paper carton, you can create a sturdy container that prevents the beans from spilling.

Wrapping the carton with construction paper and adding decorations, you might design a cute oni (ogre) to bring out the spirit of Setsubun.

Paying attention to the oni’s color and expression can help people feel attached to it, and by adding touches like a handle, you can also make sure it’s easy to use.

Oni photo props

I’m not good with demon masks, so… 👹 DIY photo props from the 100-yen shop ✨ #shorts #Setsubun #crafts #childcare

Many of you may be thinking about capturing fun Setsubun memories in photos.

In that case, here’s a suggestion: make oni-themed photo props.

Photo props are small accessories used for photography.

This time, we’ll create mask-like props that let you turn into an oni when you hold them in front of your face.

Imagine using a paper plate as the oni’s face and cutting out only the eye areas.

It would be lovely to prepare several so you can take commemorative photos with friends.

Using a long straw as a handle will make them even more convenient.

[Paper Cup] Oni Bean Holder

[Setsubun Craft] Make it with a paper cup! How to make an oni (demon) bean holder [Ashitaba Channel]

Here’s an idea for making an ogre-themed bean cup using a paper cup.

Use crumpled tissue paper to create the ogre’s hair and glue it around the rim of the cup.

Then attach horns made by twisting pipe cleaners, and draw the ogre’s pants pattern on the lower part of the cup and the ogre’s face in the middle.

You can also make the facial features from construction paper and glue them on.

Finally, punch two holes at the top of the cup, thread a pipe cleaner through to make a handle, and it’s done! It looks cute as a decoration, too, so it’s a great craft to make before Setsubun and enjoy as decor for a while.

Handprint Oni (Demon) Art for Setsubun: Ages 0–1

Handprint Art: How to Make a Setsubun Oni | Petapeta-art handprint art to capture your baby’s “now”

Handprints of babies and children make wonderful keepsakes for parents.

Let’s use those handprints to create a Setsubun decorative shikishi (square art board).

First, stamp the handprints onto the board—one red and one blue—so you can make a red ogre (akaoni) and a blue ogre (aoni).

If you stamp them with the fingers pointing downward, the fingers become the ogres’ legs.

Add a circle for the face and draw their expressions there.

Using patterned chiyogami or colored paper for the ogres’ pants and hair will give the piece a nice three-dimensional feel.

Add the date, and it’s sure to become a keepsake shikishi.

You’ll end up with an adorable piece of art.

Setsubun Tapestry

Why not try making a tapestry perfect for Setsubun? A tapestry is a fabric decoration you can hang on a wall.

There are many types—some are woven fabrics, others have printed illustrations—but if children are giving it a try, how about drawing on plain fabric with markers or attaching felt pieces they’ve made? Using stencils sounds fun too.

Feel free to draw things related to Setsubun, like oni (ogres), beans, and ehomaki sushi rolls.

Once it’s finished, hang it on the wall to decorate your room!
