Christmas decorations with dollar-store items: A collection of easy yet eye-catching DIY ideas (1–10)
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.
Mini Christmas tree made from a pine cone
While decorating with a large Christmas tree can be difficult, a great option when you want something with a Christmas feel is a pinecone Christmas tree.
Use a pinecone as the base of the tree and decorate around it.
You can use the pinecone as is, or paint it green or white—either works! Try decorating with a variety of parts like green moss, beads, ribbons, and small nuts or berries.
For a base to keep it standing steady, a thinly cut wooden board works well.
Since they’re small, it’s also nice to make several and display them together!
Yarn Christmas tree
A soothing, softly colored yarn Christmas tree.
Using items you can buy at a 100-yen shop, why not make a tree with a fluffy look? First, cut an arc out of thick paper, roll it into a cone, and secure it with tape.
Attach a circular piece to the bottom to create the base of the tree.
Next, wrap yarn around a ruler and use a hot glue gun to glue the corners.
Slide the yarn off the ruler and wrap it around the tree starting from the bottom.
Finally, decorate the tree with beads and ornaments to finish.

Advent calendar
An advent calendar that doubles the excitement leading up to Christmas.
You can easily make one using only materials from a 100-yen shop.
Just line up 24 pieces of colored paper folded into triangles to create a full-fledged tree-shaped calendar.
Using green gives it the presence of a real tree.
It’s also nice to tuck in some sweets for a daily treat.
If you think single-use is wasteful, we recommend using clear cases that can be reused after Christmas.
If the whole family works on it together, it will become a wonderful winter memory.
ornament
These days, 100-yen shops sell plenty of products in every category that are well worth the price.
Handmade-related items are no exception—they have lots of cute supplies.
Let’s use them to make Christmas ornaments.
Simply wrap wooden sticks with colorful tape, combine them into star or snowflake shapes, and decorate with beads to create impressive ornaments.
With the right selection of items and a bit of creativity, you can make all sorts of things!
Christmas boots
How about making Christmas stockings? It’s a craft you can enjoy with kids using supplies from the 100-yen shop.
With colorful felt, thread, and beads, you can easily create adorable stockings.
If the children come up with the design and adults help with the finer tasks, making them together will become a special memory.
The finished stockings are perfect for holding small gifts or decorating a room.
Why not try this idea to add a festive touch to your Christmas?
Santa Claus ornament
A Santa Claus ornament—the star of Christmas—is just perfect for holiday decorations.
It’s easy to make by simply cutting and pasting felt pieces, and the warm texture gently brightens up your room.
Add a hook and hang it on the tree for a cute touch—this simple craft builds excitement for Christmas.
