Yarn Christmas ornament

Many households decorate a tree for Christmas, right? At times like that, don’t you want cute ornaments? Here’s an idea for ornaments made with yarn and wood rings.
You can make three types: Santa Claus, a tree, and a wreath.
Basically, you just tie cut pieces of yarn onto the ring, so it’s easy to make.
Prepare a wood bead for Santa’s nose and any decorative parts you like for embellishing.
Changing the yarn colors will give a different look, so match them to the vibe of your tree.
flower tapestry

Here’s a recommended “flower tapestry” for Christmas.
All the materials can be found at 100-yen shops, so it’s easy to get started.
Cut the floral materials to fit the base tapestry.
Once you have a vision for the arrangement, prepare an accent flower and some ribbon.
Attach each piece with a glue gun, and finish by decorating with ornaments like pine cones.
If you use green, red, and white to evoke Christmas and snow, it will turn out beautifully.
Give this handcrafted, warm flower tapestry a try!
[Origami] Honeycomb Shelf

Here’s an idea for a stylish honeycomb-structure frame made from origami.
You can use it to display small Christmas-themed items.
A single hexagonal frame works on its own, but you can also connect multiple frames.
When connecting them, you won’t need glue—use origami-made parts to link them, so you can rearrange them freely as many times as you like.
Plus, you can not only place small items inside the frames like a shelf, but also sandwich flat pieces between frames for display, allowing for all kinds of arrangements depending on your ideas.
There are many folding steps, so it might be a bit of work to make, but none of the steps are difficult—so give it a try!
[Paper band] Santa boots

Christmas boots that are handy for holding gifts or sweets.
Here, we’ll introduce an idea for making them with paper bands.
For the boots, make the sole using a four-strand plait (yotsudami) weave, then build the sides with a two-row weave.
The four-strand weave can take some patience for beginners, but once you get it, you’ll be able to make bags and more—so give it a try.
After the boot is finished, attach decorations made from white paper bands to complete it.
If you lightly mist the paper bands with water, they’ll become softer and easier to work with.
Christmas Thread Gnome

Let’s try making a gnome with yarn! Gnomes are fairies that appear in European folktales.
They’re super cute and perfect as Christmas decorations.
Wrap yarn around two fingers, tie it in the middle, and fluff it into a circle.
Next, wrap yarn around a fork to make a smaller piece than before, trim it with scissors to shape it into a pom-pom for the hat.
Combine it with the circular piece to form a knit hat.
Make the face, body, arms, and legs in the same way, assemble them, and secure with a hot glue gun to finish! Use your favorite bead for the nose and try creating a one-of-a-kind gnome.
