Santa Claus ornament
A Santa Claus ornament—the star of Christmas, you might say—is perfect for holiday decorating.
You can easily make it by simply cutting and pasting felt, and its warm texture will gently brighten up your room.
However, if you’re using tools like scissors or a hot glue gun, which can be difficult for children to handle, an adult should do those steps.
Add a hook and hang it on the tree for an adorable craft that builds excitement for Christmas.
Christmas mobile
A Christmas mobile made with felt looks so cute and seems easy to make! You can get felt at 100-yen shops, and with fabric glue you can put it together in no time.
Just hang it by a window or on a door, and it will instantly brighten up the room.
The joy of making your own ornaments is something special, isn’t it? Why not create a one-of-a-kind mobile with your own designs? It’s sure to become a wonderful Christmas memory.
gift box
Felt Christmas gift boxes are adorable, and their warm, cozy texture is perfect for the winter gift-giving season.
Felt is easy to work with—you don’t even need to sew the edges, as you can secure them with fabric glue—so anyone can get started easily.
Why not choose felts in different colors and thicknesses to create something unique? The finished pieces can be used in many ways, such as ornaments for the tree or decorations for the tabletop.
This season, why not try making small handmade items that convey a sense of warmth and enjoy a delightful Christmas?
Christmas ornament
A pine cone made with soft felt fabric.
First, cut the felt into 1 cm-wide strips and snip notches, then trim both corners of each cut section.
For the top scales of the cone, take a square piece of felt, make cuts, and shape it into a rounded cross.
Use an egg-shaped Styrofoam ball as the core, and wrap the felt around it with a hot glue gun.
The trick is to work in a circular pattern, shifting slightly as you go.
Finally, attach a string to the top of the cone and cover it with the felt scales to finish.
Give this easy-to-make yet authentic Christmas ornament a try!
Christmas boots
Why not try making Christmas boots, a popular item that evokes the feeling of winter? First, cut a prepared juice carton into the shape of a boot.
Next, trace and cut felt fabric to fit, then attach it with double-sided tape.
Wrap quilt batting around the top of the boot and decorate with pom-poms to finish.
You can display it as interior decor or use it to store your favorite small items.
The soft, gentle colors and fabrics make it a soothing piece.
The detailed handiwork also serves as brain training for older adults.
garland
A garland made of felt may look intricate and difficult at first glance, but it’s actually not that hard.
It’s made by repeating simple steps, and it’s a versatile decoration for many occasions.
Start by preparing a circular template in your preferred size, cut out circles from felt, then cut each circle in half to make semicircles.
Fold each semicircle in half again and use a hot glue gun along the straight edge to secure it.
Make more of the same and connect them together.
Using two colors also creates a cute finish.
If you use fabric glue, you can make lovely Christmas ornaments without the need for sewing.

Star with a crystal inside
If you’re skilled at knitting or embroidery, we’d love for you to try making this star ornament.
It’s an intricate piece featuring snowflake embroidery on a felt base.
If you want a lighter ornament, leave the star as plain felt; for a more substantial feel, add stuffing inside to create a plump, dimensional star.
The snowflakes can be made by attaching store-bought prints or by adding delicate embroidery—both are cute.
Incorporating beads or glitter can give it a more glamorous look! Decide how many to make and how much time you have, and enjoy the process.
