Christmas frame

Let’s use items from a 100-yen shop to make a Christmas frame that works as a decoration or a gift.
Cut thick paper to fit the frame and cover it with a simple solid-colored fabric.
On top of that, use cinnamon and green moss to create a tree design.
First, glue on the cinnamon for the trunk, then apply glue in the shape of a tree and press on green moss mixed with glue—highly recommended! Decorate the tree with star anise and nuts, and attach small present parts at the base.
Add the words “Merry Christmas” to the bottom of the frame, and finish by attaching silver snowflake pieces.
Santa paper fan

A classic wall decoration! How about arranging a paper fan into a Santa design? Prepare two rectangular sheets of construction paper and fold both into accordions.
Overlap and connect the ends, then tie the center with thread while the accordion is still folded.
Next, spread and glue the ends of the accordion to form a circular paper fan.
Make Santa Claus’s face from thick paper, attach it to the paper fan, and you’re done.
You can download a Santa Claus illustration for a fee, so feel free to use it if you want to save time.
Christmas ornaments made with soft clay

Here are some ideas for Christmas decorations that are fun because you can make your favorite parts out of clay and add your own personal touches.
Roll out the clay, press a round cutter with glue applied to the inside onto it, and remove the excess clay around the outside.
Leave the clay inside the cutter as is, and paste a piece of patterned paper you like on top of the clay.
Wrap a thin rope of clay around the edge of the cutter to form a border, and the base is complete.
Next, use clay to make any parts you like—such as Santa Claus, boots, or holly leaves—and attach them to the base.
Add a ribbon to the top of the form, and it’s done.
Finish it off with a Christmas design that’s uniquely you.
Pom-pom tree

Here’s a simple craft idea: stack pom-pom wreaths to make a tree.
First, thread decorative balls onto floral wire, form a loop, and make a wreath.
Create four wreaths using different numbers of decorative balls: 9, 7, 5, and 3.
Make a cone base out of origami or construction paper, then slide the four wreaths onto the cone from largest to smallest.
Thread one decorative ball onto a U-shaped bent wire, insert it into the top of the base, and your tree is complete.
Decorate with stars or any parts you like.
Yarn Pom-Pom Wreath

Let’s make a cozy pom-pom wreath.
You’ll need to make 10 pom-poms for this, so I recommend using a pom-pom maker.
Use thick yarn and wrap it about 100 times to create pom-poms roughly 5 cm in diameter.
Once you have 10, clamp them onto an embroidery hoop and arrange them in a circle.
Attach Christmas flake stickers on top of the pom-poms, and you’re done.
White yarn is recommended to evoke the look of snow, but if you switch the stickers to simpler accents, Christmas colors would work nicely too.
Paper embroidery Christmas card

Here’s an idea for a Christmas card made with paper embroidery.
Since you’ll use an awl to make holes and a needle for stitching, please handle them with care.
First, draw a Christmas tree on the card using only straight lines.
You can draw the tree’s foliage as triangles, or you can sketch it to resemble snowflakes like in this idea.
Once the illustration is ready, use the awl to punch holes where the needle will pass, then stitch with your favorite embroidery thread.
If you’re concerned about the threads showing on the back, layer another piece of card on the reverse side and glue it in place.
Wool felt ornament

If you’re looking for a Christmas craft that you can take your time with, why not try making needle-felted wool ornaments? It does take time, but the process is simply poking wool felt with a felting needle.
It’s easy, so beginners are welcome to give it a try.
In this idea, we introduce how to make a star, snowman, tree, and reindeer.
Since the star has a more complex shape, try using a mold to make it.
Once you get the hang of it, try creating any motif you like.
Christmas bell (for ornaments or brooches)

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.

Introducing a cute ornament where sequins shake and shimmer inside a snowman’s belly.
Prepare two pieces of lace paper, and cut out the center of one.
Put sequins into a clear bag, seal it, and shape it so it doesn’t stick out beyond the lace paper.
Attach the bag to the lace paper with the cut-out center, then layer and stick the other lace paper on top.
Now the snowman’s body is complete.
Next, glue on the snowman’s head, scarf, and hat made from construction paper, and draw the face with crayons or a pen.
Finally, attach a looped string to the back, and your ornament is finished.

Snow globes are beautiful, like capturing a silver world inside.
Here’s a snow globe you can make to use as an ornament or wall decoration.
For the dome, use a clear cup with a lid.
Stick double-sided tape to part of the inside of the container and attach some white cotton.
Add an appropriate amount of foam beads to evoke falling snow, then close it with the lid decorated with Christmas-themed stickers.
Glue a chenille stem (pipe cleaner) all the way around the inner edge of the lid.
At this point, make sure to fasten the container and lid together so they don’t come apart.
Finish by adding a decorative ribbon and a string for hanging.
Try changing the stickers and pipe cleaner colors to create your favorite look.
