Lace Thread Christmas Tree
It’s a Christmas tree made from 100-yen shop items that looks high-end.
It’s perfect for crafting during cozy time at home in the cold season, so why not enjoy making it with family or friends? Roll a piece of thick paper into a cone to use as the tree’s core.
Wrap plastic wrap around it and secure it with tape.
Apply glue over the plastic wrap, then wind lace thread or thin yarn around it.
Imagine wrapping it round and round both vertically and horizontally.
Once the glue dries, remove only the thick paper, add decorations like pearl beads as you like, and you’re done! If you place an LED light inside, you can enjoy a magical Christmas illumination right at home.
Christmas swag
Swag, which means wall decoration in German, looks stylish and is sure to boost the Christmas mood! Why not try making a Christmas swag using 100-yen shop materials or fresh flowers? If you’re using fir branches for a classic Christmas look, the trick is to shift them slightly as you go and secure them tightly with wire.
Also, for decorations like pinecones, ribbons, and ball picks, first place them temporarily to decide on the design before gluing them down.
A voluminous, eye-catching swag makes a wonderful accent when used as a wall decoration or at the entrance.
Christmas wreath
Let’s try making a wreath using a paper plate.
Cut out a circle from the center and use the outer ring as the wreath.
Then, decorate it with whatever you like—stars or a Santa Claus folded from origami—and you’ll have a Christmas wreath.
If you get the materials from a 100-yen shop, you can easily make a lovely wreath.
It’s also fun to make together with children.
Display the finished wreath on your front door for a full-on Christmas mood.
With the warmth of a handmade decoration, you’ll create special memories too.

Craft band Christmas mini tree
Craft bands are gaining popularity among enthusiasts.
With a wide range of colors and patterns, they’re known for making it easy to create original items.
In fact, you can even make a Christmas tree with craft bands.
The weaving method is simple, so you can enjoy making lots of them, lining them up, and displaying them.
If you want to add an extra touch, you can decorate them with beads or jewelry-making parts.
In particular, decorating with snow- or star-themed pieces will really enhance the Christmas atmosphere.
Christmas bell made of felt
This is a bell-themed ornament with a soft, felted look that makes a strong impression.
There’s a hole inside the bell where a small jingle bell sits, so you can enjoy its sound—one of the key features.
Attach two bell-shaped pieces of felt together with the thread of the jingle bell sandwiched between them.
Then decorate the bell with a ribbon, and layer thinly cut felt at the bottom to give it a three-dimensional finish.
Matching the colors of the jingle bell and the felt bell creates a unified look, while using contrasting colors makes the jingle bell stand out.
Trying different color combinations is highly recommended.
Handmade felt Christmas stocking
How about cozy felt Christmas stockings that warm the heart? All you need are felt from a 100-yen shop, ribbon about 15 cm long, embroidery thread, and small bell ornaments.
Using embroidery thread means you don’t need a sewing machine, so it’s fine even if you’re not particularly handy.
Make the stocking large enough to hold some treats, and design it so that a bag of candies intentionally peeks out for an extra cute touch.
Origami Christmas ornament
Let’s make winter-themed decorations with origami! These are cute, handmade ornament ideas.
Prepare origami paper, ribbon, and thread for hanging.
First, fold the origami into an octahedron.
Start by making the creases, open it once, and thread the hanging string through.
Once the octahedron is assembled, decorate it with a ribbon and you’re done! You can hang it from the ceiling, and it’s perfect for a Christmas tree, too.
The more you make, the more it will boost your winter spirit.
It’s also great to craft together with your kids!
