Star-shaped Christmas tree
Isn’t the time spent preparing the tree for Christmas something both adults and children look forward to? Here’s a simple yet fun craft that uses stacked paper cones to resemble a Christmas tree.
Cut colored construction paper into four circles of different diameters, and make each one into a cone.
Punch star-shaped holes in the cones with a craft punch to create a festive pattern, and they’ll transform beautifully! Stack the four cones to make a cute and stylish Christmas tree.
Adding decorations like beads or ribbons would make it even more charming!
A Christmas tree made from tree branches
Let’s try making a Christmas tree using sticks the kids picked up at the park or campground.
It’ll have a handmade feel that’s sure to warm the hearts of both children and adults, resulting in a cozy, heartwarming tree.
Tie the sticks together with string to form the base of the tree, then wrap yarn around and around it.
Use any color yarn you like! Mixing colors like green and white could look lovely, too.
Kids will have fun making it.
Top it with a star and add decorations like beads for an extra cute touch.
Pine cone Christmas tree
In autumn, pine cones can be found all over parks and campgrounds.
Many of you have probably picked them up with your kids.
By simply decorating those pine cones, you can make stylish mini Christmas trees! Using materials from 100-yen shops keeps the cost low, which is another plus.
Cut materials like fir branches and use a hot glue gun to attach them to the pine cones.
Since you’ll be gluing small pieces, be careful not to burn yourself.
By swapping out the wood and decorations, you can create Christmas trees with a variety of looks.
Making your own unique trees together as a family could be a wonderful activity!
Yarn snowman
How about making a yarn snowman as a winter craft, where the fun is in watching it come together? It might take some time, but if you make it with your child, you can enjoy cozy winter time at home! Inflate a balloon to create the snowman’s base.
Brush glue onto the balloon, then wrap yarn soaked in glue around it.
If you don’t want to touch the glue with your bare hands, wear plastic gloves.
Once the glue dries, pop the balloon and remove it.
Make two spheres—one large and one small—and stack them to get a snowman shape.
Add a face and top it off with a yarn hat, and you’re done! It’s a project you’ll want to show off to everyone.
Easy no-sew Santa and reindeer made with felt
These are no-sew felt Christmas ornaments.
It’s great that you can get all the materials—felt, decorative pom-poms, stuffing, ribbon, and more—at the 100-yen shop.
First, cut out the Santa and reindeer templates.
Use them to cut the felt, then attach the pieces with double-sided fabric tape or glue.
For the hanger, use a gold ribbon, and for the nose and hat, decorative pom-poms will make them extra cute.
Finally, match the front and back pieces, add stuffing inside, and glue them together.
Kids are sure to love these adorably rounded ornaments.
Paper cup tree made with yarn and pom-poms
A Christmas tree made by decorating a paper cup with yarn and pompoms.
It’s a simple craft idea that uses a paper cup to represent the tree’s base and trunk, and can be made in just a few steps.
Cover the entire paper cup with double-sided tape, then wrap yarn around it from bottom to top.
Attach pompoms with glue and add a star made from origami paper, and finish by decorating with a ribbon.
By changing the yarn color and types of pompoms, you can enjoy a variety of arrangements.

Snowman lampshade
These are snowman lampshades you can make with shoji paper from a 100-yen shop and water balloons.
First, inflate the balloons and tie them off, leaving the necks a bit long.
Use the smaller one for the snowman’s head and the larger one for the body.
Next, tear the shoji paper into small pieces.
Then, using glue diluted with water, paste the paper onto the balloons.
Once it’s thoroughly dry, pop the balloons inside and remove them.
Trim the openings with scissors so a light can fit inside, and attach the head and body together with glue.
After it dries again, decorate your snowman and you’re done.
The soft glow will gently create a warm Christmas atmosphere.
