A Christmas tree made with lace and petals
How about making a Christmas tree that looks as beautiful as a dress, using lace and petals? You can get most of the materials at 100-yen shops, such as a photo frame, craft board, tree base, ruffle trim, and artificial flowers.
First, attach a halved tree base to the photo frame, then use a glue gun to add lace and artificial flower petals.
It works well to decide on a pattern—like two rows of lace and three rows of petals—and stick them on from the bottom up.
After that, have fun decorating with a tree parts set and chains.
You’ll have a glamorous, romantic tree that instantly catches the eye.
Wall-mounted Christmas tree
A Christmas tree is an essential symbol of the holiday, isn’t it? While we often picture a large tree, you can incorporate a tree-themed design as a wall decoration, allowing you to set up a big “tree” without taking up space.
It’s also convenient because you make it by combining toilet paper rolls, so gathering materials is easy.
Use green paper for the leaves and wrap brown yarn for the trunk, then arrange them to form the shape of a Christmas tree.
The natural roundness of the toilet paper rolls creates a sense of depth, which is a fun touch.
It’s also enjoyable to think about how to customize and arrange the basic Christmas tree design.
Origami: Santa Claus
How about making cute, plump-looking Santa Claus and reindeer out of origami—something you can start as soon as the idea strikes? All you need is red and brown origami paper, so if you have kids, you’ll probably find some at home.
The folding might be a bit tricky for very young children, but if they take it slow, watch the video with an adult, and follow the steps, they’ll be fine.
Finish by drawing the eyes and nose, and you’ll have an adorable Santa and reindeer!
Origami: Gift Box
A cute gift box made from origami.
This palm-sized gift box is adorable, and when used as a small display—placed under a Santa figurine or a tiny Christmas tree—it instantly becomes cuter and adds to the festive mood.
It’s easy to make: just fold carefully and crease firmly.
Try using different patterned origami paper or changing the size to line up several gift boxes in various sizes—they’re sure to look delightful!

Snowman made from empty containers
A small, cute snowman you can make using a lactic acid bacteria drink container.
First, peel off the plastic sleeve from the container.
Next, cut quilt batting to 3 cm × 26 cm and 1.2 cm × 26 cm.
Wrap and attach these to the container with double-sided tape.
Then attach a 11.5 cm × 6.5 cm piece to the top, and a 14 cm × 11 cm piece of batting around the whole container.
For the hat, wrap yarn around a piece cut from a toilet paper roll; for the scarf, wrap yarn around the neck area.
Get creative by using sparkly rhinestones for the eyes and nose, and make your own original snowman.
Snowflakes
Snowflakes made from origami are a delightful handmade item full of Christmas spirit.
You can make them in any size, and they can completely transform the feel of a room.
If you use foil paper, you can enjoy a magical, shimmering atmosphere.
If you’re making them with small children, it might be best for an adult to lend a hand.
How about gathering as a family in a warm room during the cold season and having fun making them together? It will surely become a wonderful memory.
Handcrafted snowflakes are sure to warm the heart, too.
