Handmade Tapestry Ideas for Christmas [Great for Arrangement and How-To Inspiration!] (1–10)
Dried flower tree-shaped tapestry
https://www.instagram.com/p/CWwXFRIBm70/When you think of Christmas plants, fir trees probably come to mind.
This is a tapestry that looks like a Christmas tree, made using dried flowers such as fir.
Hang the dried flowers with string and arrange them in a triangular shape, keeping the tree’s tiers in mind.
Using a variety of dried flowers creates gradations of color and gives a three-dimensional look—another key point.
Even with those gradations, an all-green palette can feel a bit plain, so incorporating ornaments is important to make it look more festive.

Turn a 100-yen shop felt placemat into a Christmas tapestry! Once you decide where to place the artificial flowers, make two holes there.
Thread a ribbon through, place the flower, and tie the ribbon to secure it.
Repeat while keeping the overall balance in mind, adding extra ribbons to reinforce any unstable areas.
Then attach string lights and Christmas ornaments through the holes around the edge of the placemat.
It’s easy to make without a needle and thread, so it’s recommended even for those who aren’t confident with sewing!

This is about making a tapestry using a placemat and yarn you can buy at 100-yen shops.
You draw a design on the placemat and then stitch on yarn in matching colors.
Rather than aiming for a perfectly precise design, a simple one with uneven lines may better bring out the softness of the materials.
The overall feel changes depending on choices like the placemat material and yarn colors, so being able to express individuality through material selection is also a key point.
Easy! Handwritten Tapestry
Create a stylish tapestry easily by hand! All you need is a sheer fabric, a fabric pen, and a printout of the text design you want to trace.
First, stick double-sided tape on the paper and secure it to your desk so it won’t move.
Lay the fabric over it, pull it taut to avoid wrinkles, and trace the design with the fabric pen.
If there’s a lot of text or fine details, it can distort easily, so it’s best to draw while holding a ruler in place.
A chic, text-only tapestry pairs perfectly with simple interiors!
Advent calendar arranged with a tapestry
An advent calendar that makes Christmas even more exciting.
It’s a calendar that counts down the days until Christmas.
Its special feature is that there’s a surprise mini gift prepared for each day.
It makes the perfect decoration for a tapestry tree you have at home! You can easily make it using coffee filters.
For the contents, small treats like chocolates or tiny figurines are recommended.
It’s a calendar that makes you look forward to opening it every day.
Dried Flower Tapestry
How about creating a calm, cozy Christmas atmosphere with a tapestry made from driftwood and dried flowers? Tie a hanging cord of jute twine to the driftwood, then use a hot glue gun to attach a base of burlap.
Layer on materials that perfectly evoke autumn and winter—branches, pampas grass, cedar, pinecones, and more.
Once you’ve achieved a bit of volume, add pops of color like red berries to bring in the Christmas feel, then adjust the balance by tidying and thinning the leaves—and you’re done! Enjoy the process as you mix and match your favorite materials.
A tree tapestry with the cozy warmth of fleece
A warm fleece tapestry that will take the chill off Christmas.
Gather fleece scraps from a 100-yen shop and cut out two pieces each of large, medium, and small triangles.
Stack each pair, sew around the edges to make a pouch, then turn them right side out.
Layer the triangles to form a three-tier Christmas tree and sew them together to create a fluffy, adorable base.
Finally, decorate as you like with elements that go well with fleece—soft pom-poms, stockings, gift bags, and more—and you’re done!
