Scandinavian-style Christmas decorations

Nordic-Style Christmas Decorations Handmade with 100-Yen Store Drawing Paper — How to Make Nebelslojd

Here’s an idea for a Scandinavian-style Christmas decoration using drawing paper you can even find at 100-yen shops.

It’s simple yet makes a statement, perfect if you’re looking for decorations with presence.

First, prepare two sheets of drawing paper and paint one with gold paint and the other with silver.

Once dry, cut them into long, thin strips.

Start by weaving three silver and three gold strips into a grid to create a 3×3 pattern.

Then, leaving the central cross intact, overlap the papers side by side and attach them at the edges.

You should get four petal-like shapes.

Make two of these, stack them, and attach the remaining strips as well.

It’s easier to make than it looks, so give it a try!

Wall-mounted Christmas tree

[100-Yen DIY] A Parent-Child Project: Wall-Mounted Christmas Tree

This is a charming wall-mounted Christmas tree made from three-dimensional tree shapes.

First, make the trees.

Use a compass to draw circles on green construction paper and cut them out.

Cut each circle in half, overlap the edges slightly, and glue them to form cones.

Next, make the star.

Fold yellow or gold origami paper into triangles and combine them to create a star shape.

Stick the trees onto the wall, place a star at the top, and attach any decorations you like with glue or double-sided tape—that’s it.

It’s lovely how many small trees come together to form one big tree.

star

Simple and cute! Let’s make a stand-up star with origami together with your kids♪ Perfect as a Christmas decoration too ✨ #learning #crafts #origami #Christmas

Although stars themselves don’t have seasons, they’re one of the objects we often see during the Christmas season.

It would be fun to make stars out of various materials to heighten the festive mood.

Paper-folded stars are the easiest—there are even origami stars that can stand upright.

Painting star illustrations on small stones also sounds enjoyable; using fluorescent paint might enhance the atmosphere.

Creating a giant star out of cardboard can make for an eye-catching symbol.

Observing the stars that appear in Super Mario or Disney might spark unexpected ideas!

Paper poinsettia

[Christmas] Easy paper poinsettia decoration you can make right away (with voice commentary) – Easy paper Christmas Poinsettia decoration

When it comes to Christmas flowers, poinsettias come to mind.

Their bright red leaves are beautiful, and you see them everywhere during the Christmas season.

So why not try making a paper poinsettia as a Christmas decoration? It’s easy for anyone to make: fold a square sheet of colored construction paper or origami paper in half twice to make a smaller square, then use scissors to make cuts and trim along the pattern.

If you glue two red leaf layers in a crisscross, it will look even more like a poinsettia.

If you want to get more elaborate, make slightly larger green leaves using the same method and attach them at the very bottom.

DIY Craft Idea: Poinsettia Christmas Tree (with templates) (December) (Wall Decoration) (Senior Recreation/Daycare) (Early Childhood Education) (DIY Craft) (Psychiatric Creative OT)

Here’s an idea for making a Christmas tree with poinsettias.

Crumple and unfold origami or tissue paper, then fold it and draw a template to cut with scissors.

Add fold lines to create veins, and your leaves are done.

Layer green and red leaves onto a base to make the poinsettias.

Since you’ll need lots of leaves, stack several sheets of paper and cut them all at once to save time.

Finally, create a tree framework on the wall and attach the poinsettias you made—your tree is complete! It’s bright and festive, so older adults are likely to enjoy it too.

stained-glass-style ornament

[Christmas Craft] Easy with Coloring Pages ♪ Stained-Glass-Style Wall Decoration — Part 2

Stained glass, which is beautiful to look at, can really brighten up Christmas, can’t it? Making real stained glass might seem difficult, but stained glass–style decorations are easy enough for seniors to try.

Place a sheet of clear cellophane over an outline drawing, such as a Christmas tree, and trace the design with a thick pen.

Adding stained glass–style lines around the tree will create a beautiful finish! Next, flip the cellophane over and color it in with markers.

Filling in all the spaces makes it look more festive, so that’s recommended.

Finally, crumple a piece of aluminum foil, open it up, wrap it around a piece of thick paper, and attach the colored cellophane to it—that’s it! Even a plain wall will feel like Christmas with just this one decoration.
