You can easily make this using simple materials from a 100-yen shop.
First, roughly cut colored construction paper in your favorite colors.
Place a star-shaped template on top of parchment paper and secure it with tape.
Peel off the star together with the tape, then freely stick on the small pieces of the cut paper.
Add another layer of tape over the top, and cut along the star shape with scissors.
Finally, punch a hole and thread a string through it to complete the star ornament.
Using cellophane makes it translucent and more festive in the light, perfect for Christmas trees or wall decorations.
It’s a simple yet eye-catching craft that you can enjoy making with children.

Crafts made using familiar materials and scrap are a great experience for both children and adults.
Instead of buying something new, using items that would otherwise be thrown away can also contribute to the SDGs.
The items you’ll need are: a toilet paper roll, construction paper cut into parts, glue, double-sided tape or paste, red pom-poms, a black pen, and rubber bands.
When attaching the pom-poms, it’s a good idea to secure them with rubber bands while they dry.
A Christmas tree made of chenille stems and decorative stickers

Let’s make a sparkling Christmas tree that will make you even more excited for the holiday! You’ll need construction paper cut into a triangle, tissue paper in green and light green cut into small pieces, glue, brown construction paper, glitter pipe cleaners, decorative materials, a stapler, adhesive, and so on.
The key is that the glitter pipe cleaners shine, so the tree looks bright from any angle.
Just like decorating a Christmas tree with ornaments, finish by sticking on your favorite stickers and parts!
White Christmas tree made with paper doilies

Set a red construction paper as the background and decorate it with a Christmas tree made from white paper doilies for a festive, seasonal wall display.
Shape the tree into a cone and stack two cones to add depth.
Roll a small tube to represent the trunk.
Attach a bell and holly ornament to the top corner, and scatter white round stickers to create a snowy effect.
The contrast of white and red stands out, resulting in a finish that feels both vibrant and warm even with simple materials.
It’s an easy, cute Christmas craft you can enjoy decorating together with children.
Make it with origami! A simple Christmas tree

Stick pieces onto the wall and you’re done! Here’s a wall decoration idea with simple steps.
Prepare green-toned origami paper, red origami, yellow origami, brown origami, blue-toned origami, tape, scissors, and so on.
Use green origami cut into triangles to create the base of a Christmas tree.
Combining not only green but also light green and dark green will add depth to the colors.
It’s also recommended to make paper-cut snowflakes to decorate—this adds a nice seasonal touch!

Construction paper Christmas wreath

It would be wonderful if we could make a three-dimensional Christmas wreath using construction paper.
Let’s create a gorgeous, eye-catching wall display that makes you look forward to the Christmas season! You’ll need construction paper in various colors, scissors, a craft knife, glue, paste, tape, and so on.
One of the great things is that you can customize the method, size, and design.
How about making it together with the kids—perhaps a colorful tree, or a tree that looks snow-covered by using cotton? Wishing you a fun and festive Christmas!
Three-dimensional Christmas tree wall

Even if you can’t display a real Christmas tree, this is a lovely idea to brighten up your room.
When you think of Christmas, many people probably picture a tree, right? This time, let’s make a three-dimensional, charming Christmas tree using construction paper.
The materials you’ll need are green construction paper, red construction paper (and other colors if you like), a template, scissors, a stapler, glue, and a ruler.
It’s also fine to choose any colors you like for the construction paper besides green.
Since some steps in making the tree involve small, detailed work, it’s best for children to do this together with a teacher or guardian.
