Tree made from clear files
https://www.tiktok.com/@picoton_craft/video/7440028158847356178This is about making an essential Christmas tree for the festive atmosphere using a clear plastic file.
Cut the clear file into a circle, then into a semicircle, and roll it up to use as the base of the tree.
Layer paper clay over it, decorate, and you’re done.
The high degree of freedom—like choosing colors and how to decorate—is part of the appeal.
A recommended idea is to cut star shapes out of the paper clay; if you let light pass through, it can also serve as a light to brighten up Christmas.
Snowman wreath made with pom-poms
Here’s how to make a Christmas wreath easily with decoration balls! You’ll need fourteen 2.5 cm decoration balls, floral/arrangement wire, rhinestone stickers, pipe cleaners, thread, round stickers, and glue.
First, thread 12 decoration balls onto the wire.
Twist the ends to form a wreath shape.
Next, attach the remaining two decoration balls to make a snowman.
Use stickers for the eyes and a pipe cleaner for the scarf.
Tie the snowman to the wreath with thread, and you’re done!
Cotton snow globe ornament
https://www.tiktok.com/@n.annlee321/video/7165816714175794434This is a cute snow globe that captures a Christmas scene, using fluffy cotton to resemble snow.
The dome is supported by a paper cup, adjusted to a height and width that can stably hold the ornament ball.
Next, prepare the main cotton; add a touch of color with pastels and mix in star-shaped pieces to create charming snow.
Finally, place motifs like a snowman along with the snow you made into the ornament ball, set it on the base, and it’s complete.
Keep the overall color balance in mind as you aim to create a beautiful snow globe.
Christmas bag made from paper cups
https://www.tiktok.com/@mie_kidsart/video/7303910647840951553This is a bag-shaped mascot featuring large Christmas motifs like Santa Claus and reindeer.
The base bag is made from a paper cup: fold down the rim, attach a handle, and decorate the whole thing to give it a bag-like appearance.
Then simply attach origami Santas and reindeer to the front, and it’s done.
Since the paper cup bag has space inside, putting some candy in it makes the Christmas fun stand out even more—highly recommended!
Snowman made of yarn
I’ll show you how to make a snowman using a lactic acid bacteria drink container! You’ll need: the drink container, felt or other fabric, double-sided tape, yarn, a toilet paper roll core, beads, and so on.
First, cut the fabric and, after applying double-sided tape, attach it to the top and bottom parts of the container.
Cover the entire container with fabric.
Next, wrap yarn around a toilet paper roll core that has been cut into a narrow ring, add some stuffing, and make a hat.
Attach beads for the eyes and buttons, and your cute snowman is complete! It looks adorable to make several in different yarn colors and display them together—highly recommended.
Pom-pom tree
Here’s an easy no-sew method for making a Christmas tree using pom-poms.
You’ll need twenty-five 2.5 cm pom-poms, floral wire, colored construction paper, and wood glue.
Thread the pom-poms onto the wire in groups of 9, 7, 5, and 3.
Twist each group into a ring.
Trim any excess wire.
Thread the remaining single pom-pom onto a piece of wire and set it aside.
Make a cone base out of the colored paper.
Stack and glue the pom-pom rings onto the cone, and you’re done! Try using pom-poms in your favorite colors to create your own original Christmas tree.
Christmas candy wreath
Here’s how to make a “Christmas Candy Wreath” that’s super easy! You’ll need a wreath base, your favorite candies, your favorite illustrations, and double-sided tape.
The steps are very simple: put double-sided tape on the illustrations or candies, then attach the candies evenly around the wreath—and you’re done.
You can draw your own illustrations or cut and paste shapes from construction paper for extra fun.
Using stickers makes it easy for kids to make too, so it’s highly recommended.
Give it a try this Christmas!
