Tsurushi-bina made with materials from a 100-yen shop

[100-Yen DIY] How to Make Hanging Hina Decorations / Meanings of Each Ornament / Hinamatsuri
Tsurushi-bina made with materials from a 100-yen shop

The Doll Festival (Hinamatsuri) comes from parents’ wishes for their children to grow up healthy.

The hanging hina decorations introduced here are easy to make, since you can get all the materials at a 100-yen shop.

Did you know that each part of a hanging hina has its own meaning? The peach symbolizes longevity, the strawberry wards off misfortune, the rabbit repels evil, and the dumpling signifies not having trouble with food, among other important origins.

Made with adhesive fabric paper that has a chirimen (crepe) look, the result is a charming, atmospheric ornament.

The ceiling-hanging style is also nice because it doesn’t take up floor space and can go almost anywhere.

This is a charming patchwork calendar that makes great use of lots of little square fabric scraps.

The quilted texture is soft and soothing—just looking at it is comforting, isn’t it? The colors and patterns that change day by day are pop and fun, and if you add snap buttons to each date piece, you can use it all year round.

When you attach the dates with the buttons, it’s even more enjoyable if you think of exciting events as you go—like “The 3rd is Hinamatsuri” or “The 14th is White Day!”
