Tomte made from socks
Tomte, the small Swedish gnome with a long beard and a deeply pulled-down hat.
Let’s make one using socks.
First, prepare a fluffy sock.
Insert the round piece of cardboard into it, add stuffing, cut the sock partway, and tie it with a string.
Take a little wool roving from a 100-yen shop at a time, bundle it up, and make the beard.
Tie this to the same spot as the string on the body.
Next, use a foot cover stuffed with cotton to make the nose.
Make the hat from felt, and use another striped sock, etc., to make the hands.
Create the feet with felt, then assemble everything to finish.
It’s super cute, so give it a try!
Beaded Christmas wreath
This is a Christmas wreath with a miniature-like look, made by wrapping beads around a small ring.
You’ll use a metal hoop about the size of a finger ring and wind thread strung with beads around it in spirals.
Because the size is so small, there isn’t much room to add other decorations, so bring out the Christmas feel and a sense of festivity through the arrangement of bead colors.
If you wrap two strands together—one threaded only with green beads and another mixed with red, gold, and so on—it will look like green as the base with added ornaments, which is recommended.
If you use wire, it’s also important to make sure the ends don’t stick out.
paper candle holder
A three-dimensional ornament inspired by the shape of a star.
You can place a candle light in the open space in the center and use it as a candle holder as well.
As you fold the origami—cutting with scissors partway—you shape it into a form where triangles overlap, then add finer creases, unfold it, and refine it into a star.
The final unfolding step is crucial: while creating a flat surface so it can stand, shape it into a beautiful star.
Because the light’s base is clearly visible through the gaps, it’s also a good idea to choose origami paper that complements it.
Craft band Christmas mini tree
Craft bands are gaining a surge of enthusiasts.
With their wide variety of colors and patterns, they’re known for making it easy to create original items.
In fact, you can even make a Christmas tree with craft bands.
The weaving method is simple, so you can enjoy making a bunch of them and displaying them together.
If you want to add an extra touch, you can decorate them with beads or jewelry-making parts.
Adorning them with pieces themed around snow or stars, in particular, will really enhance the Christmas atmosphere.
Christmas board
How about making a Christmas board that’s perfect for displaying in your room or entryway? You can create a Christmas-themed piece by attaching various materials to a wooden board.
If you want to make a Christmas tree, we recommend using decorative parts like wood sheets, green moss, small ornaments, and beads.
You can also use similar materials to create a wreath on the wooden board.
Adding message stickers like “Merry Christmas” makes it stylish, too! It’s perfect for when you can’t put up large decorations like a tree but still want to bring in a festive feel.
