Craft band Christmas mini tree
Craft bands are gaining popularity among enthusiasts.
With a wide range of colors and patterns, they’re known for making it easy to create original items.
In fact, you can even make a Christmas tree with craft bands.
The weaving method is simple, so you can enjoy making lots of them, lining them up, and displaying them.
If you want to add an extra touch, you can decorate them with beads or jewelry-making parts.
In particular, decorating with snow- or star-themed pieces will really enhance the Christmas atmosphere.
Pom-pom Christmas wreath
Let’s handcraft a cute wreath made of puffy yarn balls! This yarn-ball wreath can be made entirely with items from the 100-yen shop, including the yarn.
You can simply buy ready-made decorative parts, so the only things you’ll handmake are the yarn balls and the arrangement.
Despite the light workload, you can create a professional-looking wreath that seems store-bought, making it highly recommended for beginners in handmade crafts!
Christmas wreath made with 100-yen store materials
100-yen shops carry a huge variety of handmade items that rival those at specialty stores like craft shops! Using those 100-yen items, let’s make a wreath perfect for Christmas.
There are various options for the wreath base—like grapevine or Styrofoam—so choose whichever you prefer.
Then attach artificial flowers and assorted ornaments to decorate it.
Pinecones and berries like nandina will bring in classic Christmas colors.
Adding cotton gives it a white-Christmas feel and is highly recommended.
Make a lovely wreath and enjoy a fun Christmas!
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.
illumination lights
Let’s make illumination lights and create a sparkling Christmas atmosphere at home! It’s easy if you prepare a garland-style light that already has several bulbs attached.
By gluing artificial flowers, dried flowers, and Christmas ornaments between the lit sections, you’ll have a gorgeous light ready in no time.
When attaching the parts, using a glue gun with glitter glue sticks is recommended—the sparkly glue keeps the festive feel even at the attachment points.
If you’re hosting a Christmas party, be sure to try making these dazzling DIY lights!
Christmas arrangement
This Christmas, why not create your own original arrangement using easy-to-find materials? For example, if you use artificial flowers from a 100-yen shop, you can quickly make a lovely Christmas arrangement at low cost! The method is simple: place floral foam in a container and insert your materials.
If you want to add a festive touch, try using gold or silver accents, or include items like red berries or apples—those look wonderful too! For an even more authentic Christmas feel, it’s also great to use pine cones you find on the ground.
Make the most of your own sense of style and create an arrangement that captures the spirit of the season.
Christmas garland
Transform your room into a space full of seasonal charm with a Christmas garland! You can easily and enjoyably make one using materials from 100-yen shops and the like.
Just wrap lily-of-the-valley ribbon around cardboard to create a tree shape and add star pieces, and in no time you’ll have a perfect Christmas mood.
Using not only green but also red and white can add warmth and a wintry feel.
It’s also great to make with your kids.
Be mindful of safety, and enjoy a fun crafting time together!
