Step-by-step instructions
- Measure the doorway and mark a cord length that allows a short tie at each end. Plan the toran above head height with room for the door to open.
- Draw one leaf template and one coin-shaped circle. Trace eight leaves and four circles on card and cut them out.
- Punch a hole near the top of each shape, leaving a generous border so the card does not tear.
- Lay the shapes on a table in a repeated pattern. Tie each to the cord with a short loop, leaving even gaps.
- Attach the cord to suitable hooks and check each fixing. Keep the decoration away from lamps, fan blades and loose electrical wires.
- Open and close the door to check clearance. After the festival, take the toran down gently and store the card pieces flat.
Good to know
- Adults should hang the toran; avoid standing on unstable furniture.
- Use paper coin shapes rather than real coins or heavy jewellery.
- Keep the cord out of young children’s reach.
