A Christmas card that becomes three-dimensional when opened
This is an adorable, three-dimensional Christmas card that expands into a pop-up shape when you open it.
While keeping the edges connected, you make two slits in the card and create folds so that the sections above and below the slits alternate, which gives it a 3D finish.
The decorations you attach to the base are also important—be sure to place them so they don’t overlap the fold lines.
Because many parts are hidden when the card is closed, your sense of how to add messages and decorations is really put to the test.
Pine cone craft that won’t get your hands dirty

When it comes to Christmas crafts, pinecone trees are such a classic idea.
But pinecones have a complex shape, so painting them can take time, and little kids often end up getting paint on their hands and clothes.
So here’s a simple way to color pinecones: use a plastic bag.
Put paint and a pinecone into the bag, then shake or knead it to apply the color.
If you want a light coat, shake it; if you want a deeper color, kneading is recommended.
Cute mini Christmas tree
Let’s make a mini tree that’s small and easy to display.
You’ll need a pine cone, decorative parts, paint, and glue.
First, paint the pine cone in your tree color.
If you paint the whole cone green and then add white just to the tips, you can create the look of snow on the tree.
After that, use glue to attach the decorations, and you’re done.
Use any parts you like—decorative balls, beads, pipe cleaners, and more—to finish your tree beautifully.
Cute! Pine cone ornament
How about decorating your Christmas tree with pine cone ornaments? This simple idea involves decorating pine cones with decorative balls and beads, then attaching a looped ribbon to the base—perfect for a parent–child craft time.
You can keep the pine cones’ natural color or paint them with acrylics.
Changing the decorative parts will also change the look, letting you create a variety of lovely ornaments.
Hanging type using beads! Pinecone tree
Here’s a handmade pinecone tree idea that radiates chandelier-like glamour when hung.
Simply glue your favorite beads onto a pinecone for decoration, drill a hole in the base, and attach a screw eye—it’s very easy to make.
You can use the pinecone as is or paint it with acrylics.
Choose any beads you like and decorate freely.
Embellishing the hanging base with beads or ribbon makes it even more festive.
Even without attaching a screw eye and just displaying it as is, it looks adorably like a sweet treat!
Cute little doll made of a pine cone
Glue a larger wood bead, which will be the doll’s head, to the bottom of a pine cone.
Insert wire wrapped with jute twine into the pine cone to create arms and legs, then wrap a scarf knitted from yarn around the neck and put on a hat made from jute.
Draw the face with a pen and glue the figure to a base.
Give the doll a dried flower to hold, and it’s complete.
Since jute has a natural color, adding a brightly colored pom-pom to the tip of the hat will make the doll look more festive.
The doll’s impression will also change depending on the expression you draw and how you have it hold the flower.
Animals of Pine Cones
When it comes to Christmas crafts with pine cones, trees are the classic choice, but you can make many other creations too.
This time, I’ll show you how to make animals.
Place a large pine cone, which will be the body, on a clay base, then use clay and glue to attach a smaller pine cone on top for the head.
Once it’s dry, use felt, clay, beads, and similar materials to create the animal’s face and ears.
Decorate the body with pom-poms.
Instructions for making a tree and Santa Claus are also included, so give them a try if you like.
Let’s try making a pinecone tree!
Here are some DIY Christmas decoration ideas using pine cones and acorns you can pick up on a walk.
Be sure to sterilize the pine cones and acorns in boiling water before using them.
Paint the pine cones in any colors you like, decorate them with beads, pom-poms, pipe cleaners, and ribbon flowers, then glue them onto a coaster to serve as the base.
Next, color the acorns with markers to make Santa and a reindeer.
For the reindeer’s antlers, cut them out of origami paper with scissors.
Glue Santa and the reindeer onto the base, fill any gaps with cotton, and you’re done!
Make it with origami! Pinecone wreath
It’s an idea for a wreath made not with real pinecones, but with pinecones crafted from origami.
First, crumple the origami paper once to add wrinkles and texture.
Then cut it in half, glue the pieces so they form a wide rectangle, and fold it in half so the top and bottom edges overlap.
Make fine slits along the looped edge, then roll it up tightly to complete the pinecone.
Make the leaves and red berries from origami as well.
Finally, attach the leaves to a wreath base made from thick cardstock, and decorate it with the pinecones and red berries to finish.
Advent calendar made from 100-yen store Petit Blocks
@erikahome8 An advent calendar made with DAISO Petit Blocks 🎄💓 Perfect for my daughter who loves building ♡ I made it inspired by a post from @Suu 🐒 Home Play/Early Learning/Montessori ☺️🎄💓Advent calendar

When it comes to advent calendars, it’s standard to have a little cute treat each day, but how about making it mini-sized building blocks instead? Using 100-yen store mini blocks is an easy option, but be sure to choose a set appropriate for the child’s age! First, separate the blocks needed for each step of the build, and put them into small zippered storage bags.
If possible, copy the instruction sheet, cut it into steps, and include the relevant part with each bag—this will enhance the excitement of “I wonder what it will be?” On the final day, you could make it special by adding a message card and having them search for a treasure filled with sweets!
