Handmade Tapestry Ideas for Christmas [Great for Arrangement and How-To Inspiration!] (1–10)
Nordic-style quilt tapestry
This quilt tapestry evokes Scandinavia, the home of Santa Claus.
Prepare three to four triangles of fabric with batting sewn inside.
First sew the trunk of the Christmas tree onto the base fabric, then layer the triangles on top to form the tree shape.
Finish by decorating the tree and surrounding area with lace or parts featuring Scandinavian-style motifs.
The key to achieving a Nordic look is to keep the color palette light and avoid using too many colors.
A sewing machine or hand-stitching will give the cleanest finish, but if you’re not comfortable with fine handwork, use glue on the hidden areas to secure everything firmly.
Playable! A Sugoroku-Christmas Tapestry
Among the children who get excited by the Christmas party decorations, some may quickly lose interest.
If the decorations incorporated a game-like element, they might stay engaged with them for longer.
The design features numbers within Christmas-themed imagery, allowing it to be enjoyed as a board game, and it can be used either hung on the wall or laid out on the floor.
Another big draw is the lively atmosphere created by turning various designs into grid squares and combining them like a set.
A tapestry arranged with Daiso string lights and Christmas goods
Use DAISO items to turn your walls and small spaces into a Christmas setup! Coil a battery-powered string light and pop it into a clear jar to create a stylish lamp with a champagne-gold glow.
If you can’t put up a Christmas tree or don’t want the hassle of setting it up and taking it down, a tapestry with a printed tree is a great option.
Once you secure the fabric to the wall, use gold washi tape to attach decorations onto the tree.
It’s inexpensive and as simple as placing and sticking things on, yet you can create a chic, glamorous Christmas atmosphere.

Paper tapestry with snacks included
Let’s handcraft a cute tapestry that colorfully decorates the wall for your event.
Since the tapestry comes with tasty sweets, it’s a gift that’s fun to look at and delightful to eat.
For Christmas, you can cut colored paper into shapes like a Christmas tree to make the tapestry, adding a festive touch to the party.
Decorations and sweets colorfully arranged on the Christmas tree will boost the cheerful atmosphere.
Packing the sweets in bags keeps them hygienic, and guests can take them home as gifts just as they are.
Framed mini tapestry of a Christmas tree (sewn by machine)
A mini tapestry that evokes the image of a Christmas tree inside a picture frame offers a different kind of nostalgia than designs featuring just the tree.
If you can use a sewing machine, it’s easy to make—from attaching the pieces to stitching—so it’s a great project to try.
You can also make it entirely by hand using the same method, making it a good option even if you don’t have a sewing machine at home.
With a look reminiscent of a painting, this stylish tapestry can be displayed even after Christmas has ended.
Mini tapestry made with slash quilting
Are you familiar with slash quilting? It’s a technique where you layer several pieces of fabric, sew diagonal lines by machine, then cut between the seams leaving the bottom layer intact, and brush up the cut edges to create a fuzzy, raised texture.
The overlapping of different fabrics is beautiful, so let’s try making a Christmas mini tapestry using this method.
It’s the perfect size to hang on a wall and will add a festive touch to your holiday decor.
Decorate the top of the tree with a pretty gold ribbon or bells, and use a cute fabric to make the frame as well.
Give this handmade mini tapestry a try to help set the Christmas mood.
Tree-shaped tapestry (sewn with a sewing machine)
A Christmas tree tapestry, the very image of Christmas itself, helps heighten the anticipation for the holiday, doesn’t it? In addition to classic colors like red and green, combining various colors and patterns can also bring festive flair.
While it’s possible to make one by hand, if you’re aiming for a complex design, using a sewing machine is recommended.
If you have the time, adding elements like Santa Claus or presents will make it even more dazzling—it’s a tapestry that really livens up Christmas.
