Christmas decorations with 100-yen shop items: A collection of easy yet eye-catching DIY ideas (41–50)
Christmas swag
This is a Christmas swag made entirely with materials from the 100-yen shop! A “swag” is a German-style wall decoration.
If you want something other than the classic wreath, this is for you! Use fir branches as the base and arrange holly, pinecones, and other seasonal materials in a well-balanced layout.
Use more greenery for a natural look, or more floral elements for an elegant finish.
Adding accent colors like gold, silver, or red will make it even more charming.
Christmas tree costume
With Christmas approaching, many people may be thinking about making their own cosplay costumes.
One idea we’d like to introduce is creating a Christmas tree costume.
All you need are items like felt and red ribbon, which you can easily get at 100-yen shops, making it budget-friendly.
Plus, since the base of the costume uses a plain camisole, even those who aren’t confident in their sewing skills can give it a try.
There are detailed tutorial videos on YouTube, so be sure to check them out for reference.
Christmas board
How about making a Christmas board that’s perfect for displaying in your room or by the front door? You can create a Christmas-themed piece by attaching various materials to a wooden board.
If you want to make a Christmas tree, we recommend using wood sheets, green moss, and decorative parts like small ornaments and beads.
You could also use similar materials to create a wreath on the wooden board.
Adding message stickers like “Merry Christmas” makes it stylish, too! It’s perfect for when you can’t put up a big tree but still want to bring in a festive Christmas vibe.
Mini tree with a glue gun
Let’s make a small, cute Christmas tree with a hot glue gun! First, roll a sheet of construction paper into a cone shape like a Christmas tree.
Then cover it with parchment paper to create the base.
Using a hot glue gun, draw any patterns you like on that base.
The key is to make patterns—like wavy lines or checks—that will stand firmly on their own once the base is removed.
After the hot glue hardens, remove the construction paper and parchment paper, and paint it with nail polish in your favorite colors.
You can also add decorations like beads if you like! It looks lovely as is, but placing a light inside to make it glow will make it even more dazzling!
Felt braided wreath
This wreath is easy to make using felt.
First, prepare three long, narrow strips of felt.
You can use the same color for all of them, but changing the color of just one is also recommended.
Gather the three strips and secure one end with a safety pin, then simply braid them together.
Once you’ve braided to the end, use a safety pin and yarn to attach the ends to each other.
Finally, decorate it with a ribbon or bells and add a string for hanging, and you’re done! You can also add beads or pieces of felt cut into your favorite shapes to create a charming, festive wreath.
Snowman wreath made with pom-poms
Introducing an easy-to-make Christmas wreath using decorative balls! Materials: fourteen 2.5 cm decorative balls, floral wire, rhinestone stickers, chenille stems (pipe cleaners), thread, round stickers, and glue.
How to make it: First, string 12 decorative balls onto the wire, twist the ends together, and form a wreath shape.
Next, attach the remaining two balls to make a snowman.
Add eyes with stickers and a pipe cleaner as a scarf.
Tie the snowman to the wreath with thread, and you’re done!
A Christmas tree growing out of the wall
Let’s try making a Christmas tree objet d’art overflowing with originality using items from the 100-yen shop.
The ideas are endless.
Whatever and however you create it, it will be a piece filled with love.
Use your free imagination to craft your own original Christmas decorations.
A Christmas tree that doesn’t sit on the floor but seems to grow out of the wall could be fun, too.
Paint a board white and attach a store-bought tree from the 100-yen shop.
Feel free to shape the form as you like.
Once you decorate it with lights and more, you’ll have a wall-mountable Christmas tree all set.
