You can easily make this using simple materials from a 100-yen shop.
First, roughly cut colored construction paper in your favorite colors.
Place a star-shaped template on top of parchment paper and secure it with tape.
Peel off the star together with the tape, then freely stick on the small pieces of the cut paper.
Add another layer of tape over the top, and cut along the star shape with scissors.
Finally, punch a hole and thread a string through it to complete the star ornament.
Using cellophane makes it translucent and more festive in the light, perfect for Christmas trees or wall decorations.
It’s a simple yet eye-catching craft that you can enjoy making with children.

Crafts made using familiar materials and scrap are a great experience for both children and adults.
Instead of buying something new, using items that would otherwise be thrown away can also contribute to the SDGs.
The items you’ll need are: a toilet paper roll, construction paper cut into parts, glue, double-sided tape or paste, red pom-poms, a black pen, and rubber bands.
When attaching the pom-poms, it’s a good idea to secure them with rubber bands while they dry.

Capture the moment while you can! Make a Santa Claus using your child’s handprint and decorate your room.
Paint your child’s palm with red paint and press it onto construction paper to make a handprint.
Next, once it dries, attach Santa’s face and a sack full of presents to the handprint.
Finally, draw a brick pattern on a kraft paper cup with a white crayon and decorate it with white cotton to finish.
The sight of the handprint Santa tucked inside the kraft paper cup chimney is absolutely adorable!
Stylish snowflake

Let’s make delicate yet eye-catching snowflakes.
You’ll need two sheets of white drawing paper (size 16-cut), a template, scissors, glue, a stapler, and a ruler.
You can also use copy paper or origami paper, but using drawing paper will give you larger, sturdier snowflakes! For variations, try adding color with paint thinned generously with water, or decorate with sparkling rhinestone stickers.
Hope this helps you enjoy the run-up to Christmas!
Cute yarn paper plate decoration

Here’s an idea for an easy, seasonal decoration.
First, prepare a paper plate and paint it navy blue to create the base.
Wrap some clear tape around the tip of green yarn, then punch holes in the plate in the shape of a Christmas tree.
Thread the yarn through the holes, and the outline of the tree will gradually appear.
Once the shape looks right, attach decorative stickers and a star ornament to complete the tree.
You can add white round stickers around it to create a snowy atmosphere.
Finally, punch a hole at the top and tie a ribbon, and your cute decoration is finished.
With color and decoration tweaks, it’s a fun winter craft to enjoy with children.
A Christmas tree made of chenille stems and decorative stickers

Let’s make a sparkling Christmas tree that will make you even more excited for the holiday! You’ll need construction paper cut into a triangle, tissue paper in green and light green cut into small pieces, glue, brown construction paper, glitter pipe cleaners, decorative materials, a stapler, adhesive, and so on.
The key is that the glitter pipe cleaners shine, so the tree looks bright from any angle.
Just like decorating a Christmas tree with ornaments, finish by sticking on your favorite stickers and parts!
White Christmas tree made with paper doilies

Set a red construction paper as the background and decorate it with a Christmas tree made from white paper doilies for a festive, seasonal wall display.
Shape the tree into a cone and stack two cones to add depth.
Roll a small tube to represent the trunk.
Attach a bell and holly ornament to the top corner, and scatter white round stickers to create a snowy effect.
The contrast of white and red stands out, resulting in a finish that feels both vibrant and warm even with simple materials.
It’s an easy, cute Christmas craft you can enjoy decorating together with children.
