Let’s make a colorful and cute wreath that makes use of the mesh pattern of fruit nets.

First, cut cardboard into a ring, apply glue to the base, and attach the fruit nets.

Once the wreath base is ready, add the small decorations to finish.

Since the cardboard base will show through the gaps in the net, keep the net color in mind and decide the cardboard color in advance.

The key is to be mindful of the overall color balance—such as the color you paint on the cardboard, the color of the nets you use, and the colors of the decorations.

This is a small Christmas tree mascot made by decorating a base crafted from a cut paper plate.

First, cut the paper plate in half, paint the rim brown for the trunk, then roll it into a pointed cone shape.

Next, glue small pieces of green origami around it as leaves, add decorations, and it’s done.

It’s important to attach the leaves firmly to cover the base and build up volume.

Since the overall design is simple, it might be nice to think about the surrounding scene and how you arrange it.

What you’ll need are red and white felt, each 50 cm by 50 cm, and some white yarn.

First, cut the red felt into a cone to fit the size of the head.

You’ll attach a pom-pom at the tip, so trim a small opening there.

Cut the white felt to serve as the lower band of the hat, and sew the two pieces together with a sewing machine to form a cone.

Next, make a pom-pom with the yarn.

You can get a pom-pom maker at a 100-yen shop, so using one is recommended.

Turn the hat inside out and sew the pom-pom onto the tip of the hat, and you’re done! It’s also cute if you decorate it with beads or felt.

There are moments when you think at first glance, “Ah, this color would really suit this child.” But store-bought hats don’t always come in many colors.

First, shape the construction paper into a cone.

Measure the head size to get a perfect fit.

Attach a pom-pom to the tip and add an elastic cord, and you’re done.

You can also line the part that touches the head with a soft fabric.
