Crumpled tissue paper tree
@buchiko_hoiku 🐶 @buchiko_hoiku ◂◂◂◂ Check out my other posts, too 🌼 This time, it’s a tree that even infants can make easily 🎄 Crumple up tissue paper to enjoy the texture, peel stickers using little fingers, and decorate as you go—so you can make a cute tree easily while having fun 😆💕 Tips: To keep the cone base from losing its shape, gently dab the pieces on when sticking. As you add tissue paper, it gets bulkier, so make the cone base a bit slimmer to avoid a chubby tree 🙆🏻♀️ Also!! This craft is available as a kit for purchase 🌟 Craft kits saved me back when I was working on the front lines, so now I want to help teachers who are struggling! I make each one with that in mind ✂️ Links to Mercari and BASE are in my profile! I’m selling other crafts, too, so I’d love for you to take a peek 👀 A follow would make me even happier 🥴💕 lol Please try making it yourself 🌈 I’d love to hear your “I made it!” reports—they keep me going 🥹❤️🔥 Thank you so much for reading to the end 🐶 I share ideas you can easily copy—from intro to crafting ♬︎ Likes ♥, saves 𖤘, and follows 𖤐 would make me cry with joy 😂 lol Comments are super welcome 🤍🤍Nursery teacher / Childcare workerKindergarten TeacherWinter Craft#Wall CreationInfant CraftPlay that expands from picture booksChristmas crafts

Here’s a cute Christmas tree idea where you stick crumpled tissue paper onto a cone base.
First, roll a piece of thick paper into a cone to make the base and cover the surface with double-sided tape.
Next, crumple green tissue paper and stick it on to fill the base.
Once the tree itself is done, decorate it with Christmas stickers as ornaments.
To evoke snow, loosely wrap white yarn around the whole tree, then add a star on top to finish.
Try using tissue paper in various colors to create a tree that reflects your own style.
100-yen shop DIY Christmas wreath

When you go to the 100-yen shop, you’re sometimes surprised to find they even sell things like this.
They offer all kinds of products, and craft and DIY supplies are well stocked too.
You can make a lovely wreath using only 100-yen items, so why not give it a try? Attach cotton bolls and pinecones to a wreath base with a hot glue gun.
A hot glue gun dries faster than wood glue.
However, it gets very hot, so please be careful when used by older adults.
A Christmas with a wreath they made themselves is likely to give older adults a real sense of satisfaction.

Christmas tree with holly and bells

This is an idea for creating a wall tree by decorating it with holly leaves and bells in different sizes and colors.
For the holly, make green leaves from origami paper and red leaves from tissue paper.
You can download a template for the green leaves, so be sure to use it.
For the red leaves, stack three rectangular sheets of tissue paper, accordion-fold them, staple the center, then open each layer to form a flower-like shape.
For the bells, cut yellow origami paper into a half-circle and roll it into a cone shape—that’s it.
Combine them however you like to complete a colorful wall tree.
Christmas gift-shaped charm

Christmas just isn’t complete without presents! So, here’s how to make a Christmas gift-shaped charm.
First, prepare some craft paper and design your favorite motif.
You can draw it with a pen, or use origami paper, colored paper, yarn, and other materials to give it a three-dimensional finish.
Next, put cotton and beads into a small transparent bag to create a snowy effect, then place your designed craft paper inside, seal the bag, and fold the top two corners to the back, securing them with tape.
Glue the bag onto a piece of felt that will serve as the base of the charm, and shape the felt into a gift shape.
Finally, tie a ribbon, and your charm is complete.
Christmas flower wreath

An origami flower wreath inspired by poinsettias, which are often used as Christmas decorations.
The flowers, which look as if they’re blooming brightly, are made by combining small origami parts.
Seniors who are good with their hands will likely enjoy making it.
Using red and green origami in Christmas colors enhances the festive atmosphere.
Simply attach the origami pieces to a wreath made from construction paper to finish.
You can also decorate it as you like with ribbons or cutouts of gifts and pinecones made from construction paper.
By changing the colors of the origami pieces, you can create a wreath suited to any season.
A Christmas garland that also works as a sun catcher

Recommended for anyone looking for an easy-to-make garland! First, draw a tree on a clear file folder and fill in the inside with your favorite stickers.
If you’d like to use it as a sun catcher, use translucent stickers.
Once the stickers are in place, cut it out in the shape of a tree and clip it together to complete your garland.
Using the same design with stickers in different colors can give you both a unified look and a festive touch.
It might also look cute to decorate the edge of the clear file with sparkly pipe cleaners.
Patchwork Fleece Using Fabric Scraps

Let’s make a puff wreath that can be sewn by hand.
Prepare nine pieces of fabric measuring 10 cm by 20 cm, stuffing, and a ribbon.
First, fold each of the nine pieces of fabric in half with right sides together and sew them into tubes.
Rotate the fabric so the seam is centered and press the seam allowances open.
On one tube, roughly run a gathering stitch along the top edge to make a pouch; turn the fabric right side out, then nest it inside the second tube with right sides together and stuff it with filling.
Align the top edges of the first and second tubes carefully, then roughly run a gathering stitch to close them.
Repeat this process to form a wreath shape, and finish by decorating with a ribbon.
