[Simple & Cute] Handmade Christmas Decoration Ideas (11–20)
snowman
Simple and cute Christmas decorations made using empty boxes, bottles, and other containers you have at home.
Let’s make small, adorable snowmen using containers.
This time we’ll use containers from lactic acid drinks.
Make several in different colors, line them up, and decorate your room—perfect for the Christmas season.
Using warm materials like yarn and felt gives them a very gentle look.
You can also create their expressions with beads and sequins, so you’ll end up with your very own originals.
It’s also fun to make them with family and friends.
Complete with just two pieces of fabric! Easy Christmas tree
This Christmas tree made from two pieces of fabric is a simple project—just sew them together and fold—making it perfect for sewing beginners.
Cut the outer and lining fabrics into half-circle shapes and sew them together.
Simply changing the fabric patterns transforms the look completely, letting you style it in Scandinavian or natural tastes.
Picking cute fabrics with kids and experiencing hand-stitching can also give a great sense of accomplishment.
It’s a Christmas tree idea that adds warmth to your room and is perfect for winter décor.
Wreath Photo Frame
This is a photo frame inspired by a Christmas wreath, decorated by using a paper plate cut into a ring.
If you’re going for a Christmas look, red and green decorations are classics; layer origami so there are no gaps while keeping the color balance in mind.
Wrapping yarn around it is also recommended, and you can use the yarn to create the structure that holds the photo in place.
If the photo still feels unstable, another option is to attach the decorated ring onto a separate paper plate.
Mole tree and pom-pom snowman
These mascots—a tree made from chenille stems and a pom‑pom snowman—really capture the fun of winter.
Cut construction paper into a circle, snip it, roll it into a cone to form the tree, and glue on chenille stems so the paper base doesn’t show; that completes the tree base.
Then freely add beads and other decorations to create a festive tree.
The snowman is simple: shape the pom‑pom balls, stack two tiers and glue them, then use yarn to add a scarf and facial features to finish.
To help it stand beside the tree, glue a piece of thick cardstock to the bottom.
It’s best to consider the size balance depending on whether you want the tree or the snowman to stand out more.
In conclusion
We introduced how to make Christmas decorations that you can easily recreate at home.
Rather than buying store-bought items, you’ll probably feel more attached to decorations you make yourself.
It’s also nice that many of them can be used again next year and the year after.
Wishing you a joyful Christmas at home.
