Teru Teru Bozu, a cute traditional handmade doll that Japanese farmers hang outside their window. This little amulet is believed to have magical powers to bring good weather and stop/prevent rain. When hung upside down it can also act as a prayer for rain.

Here’s a simple tutorial on how to make your own Teru Teru Bozu.

  1.Select your materials

  2.Decorate the edges of the cloth with decorative tapes.

3. Snip a small slit in the middle of your cloth.

  4.Make a loop with baker’s twine/any thread and string it though the slit. Tie a knot at the end.

5.Place a ball of fillings on the center of cloth and wrap up tightly. Tighten with a ribbon.

6.Draw your Teru Teru Bozu face with fabric markers. Make it a happy one!

  7. All done and ready to be hung up by the window!

    if you have more time…

Try different tape combinations to decorate your cloth.

  Make more to increase the power!

Remember to hang it upside down if you want it to rain!!!
