Horse Play Craft

Beautiful craft: 'Horse Play Craft'

This is a unique craft idea that uses yarn to create a mane.

You’ll need construction paper, yarn, cardboard, and cooking chopsticks.

Draw a horse’s face, ears, and mane on the construction paper and cut along the lines.

Prepare two pieces each for the face and ears.

After gluing the parts together, attach the yarn to the mane.

Using a craft punch to make evenly spaced holes will make this easier.

Fold the yarn in half, pass the loop through a hole, then pull the loose ends through the loop to secure it.

Thread two strands of yarn through each hole.

After attaching the eyes and nose, place a piece of cardboard between the layers to make it sturdy and secure the cooking chopsticks.

Decorate with cute embellishments to finish.

It’s a project that would likely be a delightful gift for your grandchild.

[Zodiac] Year of the Horse Origami: How to Fold a Paper Horse

One of the twelve zodiac signs, the Horse (Uma).

Let’s fold a horse out of origami to welcome the New Year.

Using washi-patterned or double-sided origami paper makes it look very festive.

In this video, hand-dyed yuzen paper is used.

Fold with the patterned side on the outside.

Pay attention to making clean, sharp corners—the neater the folds, the better the final result.

The section that becomes the face involves a 3D fold and takes a bit of practice, but the challenge makes finishing it all the more rewarding.

How about enjoying some conversation with friends or family as you get started on New Year’s preparations?

Change the color of the stickers or draw eyelashes to create a horse full of personality.

It’s an easy, eco-friendly craft that you can make without strain and is perfect for finger rehabilitation.

Swaying Rocking Horse

How about a hobby horse craft that makes clever use of paper tubes and twigs? Cut corrugated cardboard into the shape of a horse’s profile and make slits in both the cardboard and a paper tube, then secure them with a hot glue gun.

Attach four twigs to the body to serve as legs, and fix slightly curved twigs to each side.

Those curved twigs are the key to creating that gentle rocking motion! Once you make the mane and tail with string or yarn, your hobby horse is complete.

Put the twigs you collected on a walk or from your garden to good use and create a charming hobby horse.

A three-dimensional horse made with paper cores

Let’s try making an adorable horse using a paper tube and colored construction paper.

Draw the horse’s face and legs on thick paper to create templates, then trace them onto brown construction paper and cut them out.

Wrap the colored paper around the paper tube to form the body, and attach a yarn mane to the head.

Use white and pink paper to make and glue on the mouth, eyes, and ears.

Once you add the saddle—a piece of equipment for a rider—then fix the tail and legs in place, it’s complete! This horse ornament, fun to look at, is sure to bring comfort to older adults.

It’s easy to make with familiar materials, so give it a try.
