Mini Christmas Tree with Origami

[Origami] Easy-to-make Mini Christmas Tree 🎄🌟 #EasyCraft

This is a Christmas tree mascot made with origami that’s fun for its three-dimensional spread.

Shape green origami paper into layered triangles, then make cuts with scissors to create the look of spreading leaves.

Use brown origami for the trunk, shaping it like an opened triangle as well.

Insert it into the gaps of the green part to give the whole piece stability, and it’s complete.

Thanks to its dimensional spread, it stands stably and looks great as is, but adding extra decorations is also recommended.

Christmas bell (for ornaments or brooches)

[Stickers] How to Make Paper Christmas Bells – DIY: How to make paper Christmas bell stickers / Tutorial

When it comes to Christmas decorations, bells are a classic, aren’t they? Let’s make some festive bells using paper and ribbon.

The key is how you form the bell’s body: tightly roll a long, narrow strip of paper, then push out the center to shape it into a bell.

It’s important to roll the paper firmly and use glue skillfully so the shape doesn’t collapse.

Once the body is done, thread a bead onto a piece of wire and insert it inside; then connect two bells by bringing the wire out from the top and fastening them together.

Finally, combine them with decorations like tied ribbons or a backing card to finish your own unique bell.

Glowing garland

[Christmas Craft 🎄] Light-up ✨ Christmas Garland — DIY Christmas decoration.

This is a festive garland in Christmas colors, beautifully translucent like tracing paper.

Fold the tracing paper and shape it into cones, then glue the edges so they cover the linked LED lights.

Once you’ve arranged a pleasing color sequence and created the continuous chain, attach ribbons to each cone.

Hang it up and switch on the lights to finish.

As you decorate, consider crease placement and embellishments that won’t block the light, as well as how to arrange it alongside other decorations.

A classic Christmas tree made from a single sheet of construction paper

Classic Christmas Tree Made from a Single Sheet of Paper | Easy! | 100-Yen Store DIY | Parent-Child Christmas Craft

Here’s an idea for a Christmas tree that also works as a lampshade.

All you need is one sheet of green construction paper.

If you want to decorate the tree, prepare any embellishment parts you like.

First, cut the paper into a square, then fold it into a triangle twice.

You’ll find two pockets; open each and flatten them into squares.

With the center of the origami facing downward, fold both lower edges to the center line on both sides.

Unfold all the creases and squash-fold them into triangles.

The large triangles become the tree’s foliage, and the small triangle at the top becomes the trunk.

Cut slits into the foliage to create the jagged look of fir leaves.

For the trunk, roll the corners inward and glue the ends together to form a ring.

Decorate with your chosen parts, then place it over an LED light.

Make it with construction paper! A cute 3D Christmas tree to display

[100-Yen DIY] A Christmas Tree Made with Construction Paper 🌲 christmastree

This is an idea for making a tree by stacking parts of different sizes.

It’s simple yet looks beautiful—perfect as a tabletop Christmas decoration.

First, prepare five circular sheets of construction paper in different sizes.

Draw radial lines on each sheet to divide them into 16 sections, then fold the lines in alternating mountain and valley folds to create a shape like a closed umbrella.

Thread these onto a bamboo skewer from largest to smallest to form the tree shape.

However, if you thread them as-is, the paper will open under its own weight, so wrap some masking tape around the skewer as a stopper before sliding each piece on.

Fix the skewer to a plastic bottle cap for the base, and top the tree with a star to finish!

No-sew yarn Christmas tree

[Easy] How to Make a Christmas Tree with 100-Yen Store Yarn 🎅🌲 [No Glue ✨ No Sewing ✨] DIY: How to make a yarn Christmas tree. Christmas ornament.

How about making a Christmas tree with cozy, warm yarn? There’s no knitting—just wrapping the yarn around a base—so it’s an easy idea to try with kids.

First, cut cardboard into the shape of a tree.

Then stick double-sided tape on the front and back of the three edges, peel off the backing, and staple the end of the yarn to the back.

From there, simply wrap as you like! Once you’ve wrapped it all around so the base doesn’t show, tie off the yarn so it won’t come loose, and decorate with ribbons or gem stickers.

Add a string and you can use it as an ornament, too.
