Let’s make it with 100-yen shop materials! A roundup of Christmas craft ideas (71–80)
Christmas frame
I’ll show you how to make a stylish Christmas frame using items from a 100-yen shop! You’ll need a photo frame, construction paper, fabric, wood glue, cinnamon sticks or twigs, popsicle sticks, green moss, toothpicks, decorations like stars, dried flowers, and beads, and a silver permanent marker.
How to make it: First, cut the construction paper and fabric to fit the frame and glue them on with wood glue.
Next, use cinnamon sticks or similar items to create and attach the tree trunk.
Then apply wood glue in the shape of a tree above the trunk and stick on finely crumbled green moss.
Use a toothpick to refine the shape, add your decorations, and you’re done.
For a stylish finish, draw letters or illustrations on the frame with the silver permanent marker—highly recommended!
Mini tree with a glue gun
Let’s try making a small, cute Christmas tree using a hot glue gun! First, roll a piece of construction paper into a cone so it looks like a Christmas tree.
Then cover it with parchment paper to create the base.
On that base, use the hot glue gun to draw any patterns you like! Waves, checkered designs—just make sure the patterns are shaped so the tree can stand on its own once the base is removed.
After the hot glue hardens, remove the construction paper and parchment, and paint it with your favorite color of nail polish.
Adding beads or other decorations is also recommended! It already looks lovely, but if you place a light inside the tree so it glows, it will be even more dazzling!
Felt braided wreath
This is a wreath you can easily make using felt.
Like a sash or headband, prepare three long, narrow strips of felt.
You can make them all the same color, but changing just one strip to a different color is also recommended.
Gather the three strips and secure one end with a safety pin, then simply braid them.
Once you’ve braided to the end, use a safety pin and yarn to join the ends together.
Finally, add decorations like ribbons or bells and attach a string for hanging, and you’re done! You can also add beads or pieces of felt cut into your favorite shapes to create a bright and cute wreath.
Christmas tree made with ribbons
I’ll show you how to make a cute Christmas tree using ribbons.
You’ll need cardstock, ribbon, wrapping paper, double-sided tape, a hot glue gun or wood glue, and decorations.
First, make a cone shape out of the cardstock.
Cut the wrapping paper to fit the cardstock, attach it to the cone with double-sided tape, and draw five lines along the curve.
Next, cut the ribbon into 8 cm pieces and secure the ends with double-sided tape.
Attach the ribbon ends along the lines on the cone.
Keep adding ribbons until the cone is no longer visible.
Finally, attach decorations like a star with wood glue, and you’re done!
Easy Christmas ornaments made with yarn
Here’s how to make a simple Santa Claus ornament with yarn! You can get all the materials at a dollar store.
You’ll need yarn, a wooden ring, a Christmas star chain, wooden beads, wood glue, and a toilet paper tube.
First, make a bundle of yarn by wrapping it about 20 times to a length of 15 cm.
Cut both ends, then tie about 10 bundles to the wooden ring, two strands at a time.
Comb it out to neaten it and trim diagonally with scissors.
Next, cut a 1 cm ring from the toilet paper tube.
Roll it to fit the wooden ring and staple it.
For the hat, wrap yarn around about 30 times to a length of 20 cm, cut, and wrap it around the toilet paper ring.
Loop the yarn around the ring and pull the ends through the loop to secure and shape the hat.
Finally, thread a bead onto the wooden ring to make Santa’s nose.
Attach the hat, and your cute Santa Claus ornament is complete!
