Christmas Crafts to Enjoy with Kids: Stylish and Easy Ideas (71–80)
Felt Christmas tree
How about a simple yet stylish Scandinavian-style Christmas tree? It adds a nice accent to your room and gives you a cozy Christmas vibe! Cut strip-shaped felt into a zigzag pattern.
Make about eight pieces and simply wrap them around a cone-shaped styrofoam base—that’s all! It’s super easy but looks chic, right? You can change the mood by choosing pastel colors for a cute look or muted tones for a more mature feel.
Try making it in your child’s favorite colors.
Insert a small twig as a trunk to turn it into a stand type, and it will pair perfectly with your interior decor.
Paper Tube Santa Claus
Why not try making a fluffy-bearded Santa Claus by reusing a toilet paper roll? It’s super easy to make, so it’s perfect as a Christmas craft for kids! Using felt gives it a warm, cozy look—just right for a Christmas ornament.
All you do is stick felt onto a toilet paper roll.
You can also use construction paper or origami paper! If you use double-sided tape for sticking, it won’t be difficult for children either.
The cotton beard is adorable, so give it a try together as a parent-child activity!
Make it with origami! Easy Christmas ornaments
Making handmade ornaments with your child at Christmas sounds like it would make such a lovely memory.
For these ornaments, cut out 12 circles from origami paper, fold them in half, and glue them together so they form a sphere.
Be careful about where you apply the glue.
Please try cutting the circles and gluing them together with your child.
You can also make them with cute wrapping paper.
Once they’re finished, hang them on the tree and enjoy Christmas.

A three-dimensional star made of origami
How about making a three-dimensional star out of origami to place on top of your Christmas tree? It also works perfectly as a decorative object or an ornament, so try making it with origami in various colors and patterns! Since it’s origami, it’s safe and easy for children to make, too.
Fold a star segment from a single sheet of origami paper and make five identical pieces.
Finally, attach double-sided tape to each part and assemble them to finish! As it gradually takes the shape of a star, kids will enjoy making it as well.
Colorful wreath of origami and ribbons
A Christmas wreath made with origami and ribbon is a colorful and festive craft I highly recommend.
Make the base by linking together rings formed from strips of origami paper cut to a uniform width, then simply decorate it with ribbons to complete a vibrant Christmas wreath.
By changing the patterns of the origami or the width of the ribbons, you can create many different styles, so children are likely to get absorbed in the crafting.
It’s an easy yet versatile project that will brighten doors and walls during the holiday season.
Origami Christmas tree
Here’s how to make a simple origami Christmas tree! You’ll need origami paper, glue stick, wood glue, and decorations.
First, fold the origami paper in half into a triangle and unfold it.
Next, fold both sides in to meet the center crease, forming two smaller triangles.
Fold the bottom section up on both sides so the edges align with the straight edges of the folded triangles.
Glue and fold each piece in half; make nine of these units.
Finally, use wood glue to attach all nine pieces together—and you’re done! Patterned origami paper looks cute even without decorations, but it also looks great with store-bought ornaments or Christmas decorations folded from origami.
It’s easy for kids to make, so I highly recommend it.
Origami gift box
It’s exciting to think about what to put inside a treasure chest-like gift box, isn’t it? Why not try making a small box using origami in Christmas colors? Prepare one sheet of origami paper in your favorite color for the outer box and one for the inner box.
The key is to make firm creases as you fold! It might be easier if you secure parts with glue or paste as you go.
Ask an adult to help with the finer details! Add ribbons or star patterns to make it perfect for Christmas.
