[Handmade] Collection of Cute Christmas Decoration Ideas (31–40)
A DIY Christmas tree made with 100-yen store items
It’s a Christmas tree made by attaching fringed origami to a cone base crafted from drawing paper.
The key is to curl the fringed sections by gently stroking them with a pen or the tip of a pair of scissors—this gives it a soft, fluffy texture.
We recommend making the slits very narrow, about 1 mm wide.
Create several of these pieces and glue them to the base in tiers.
Finish by adding a star and ribbon on the top and small pearls all over, and you’re done!
Christmas tree made with pipe cleaners
A Christmas tree made with shimmering, eye-catching chenille stems (pipe cleaners).
Cut construction paper into a tree shape, then fold and lay the pipe cleaners from the bottom up so there are no gaps.
Combining green, gold, red, and other colors creates a beautiful gradient.
Add a loop at the top to turn it into a hanging ornament, and decorate with ribbons or beads for an instant festive touch.
The softness and luster of the pipe cleaners stimulate children’s creativity and help develop fine motor skills.
The finished tree can be displayed anywhere and instantly fills the room with a sparkling Christmas atmosphere—an easy, dazzling holiday craft idea.
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.
Picks made using photos
How about creating unique picks using your favorite photos or pictures of your kids? They’re not only great for livening up a Christmas party, but they also make lasting memories.
All you have to do is print your chosen photos on sticker paper, cut them out, and stick them onto toothpicks.
You could also edit the photos and combine them with Christmas-themed backgrounds for a lovely finish.
Plus, try adding materials like ribbons or holly to enjoy customizing them while getting into the Christmas spirit!
Fleece puff from fabric scraps
Let’s use fabric scraps to make a fluffy, cute puff wreath! It’s recommended not only to use one type of scrap, but to combine several different kinds.
Connect the fabric scraps one by one, stuffing each with filling, and repeat this process.
Once you have a good number, join the ends together to form a wreath shape.
Add a ribbon and a loop for hanging, and it’s complete! Since it’s made from fabric, you’ll end up with a warm, cozy wreath that’s perfect for the cold Christmas season.

Christmas swag
This is a Christmas swag made entirely with items from a 100-yen shop! A swag is a German term for a wall decoration.
If you want something other than the classic wreath, this is a great option.
Use fir branches as the base, and arrange holly, pinecones, and other floral materials in a balanced way to capture the Christmas feel.
You can create a natural look by using lots of greenery, or go for an elegant vibe by adding more florals—the arrangement is completely up to you! Adding accent colors like gold, silver, or red will also make it look beautiful.
Christmas board
How about making a Christmas board that’s perfect for displaying in your room or entryway? You can create a Christmas-themed piece by attaching various materials to a wooden board.
If you’d like to make a Christmas tree, we recommend using decoration parts like wood sheets, green moss, small ornaments, and beads.
Using similar materials, you can also make a wreath on the wooden board.
Adding message-style stickers such as “Merry Christmas” is a stylish touch! It’s perfect for times when you can’t put up large decorations like a tree but still want to bring in a festive Christmas feel.
