Christmas Crafts to Enjoy with Kids: Stylish and Easy Ideas (1–10)
Tetra Pak
It’s exciting when sweets come out of a Santa Claus tetra pack, isn’t it? In this craft, we’ll fold a Santa Claus using origami.
Patterned origami is recommended because the pattern will show on Santa’s hat.
When you close the opening of the tetra pack at the end, put in small chocolates or candies and seal it with glue.
A little pom-pom also makes a cute nose for Santa.
Make tetra packs together as a parent-child activity, decide on the treats to put inside, and enjoy getting ready for Christmas!
candy tree
Here’s how to make an easy “candy tree” using items from a 100-yen shop.
You’ll need a party hat, a star cake topper, lightweight candies, and double-sided tape.
First, put double-sided tape on the candies.
Once taped, start sticking the candies onto the party hat from the bottom and work your way up.
Finally, stick the star cake topper on the tip, and you’re done! It’s super easy.
You can also make your own star topper to create an original tree and have fun with it.
It’s a great activity for a Christmas party and is sure to be a hit.
Snow globe ornament
These are snow globe ornaments you can make with dollar-store items and everyday materials.
They’re perfect for decorating your room at Christmas or giving as gifts! Just use a cut paper cup as the base, place cotton, pom-pom snowmen, star parts, and other bits inside a clear plastic ball from the dollar store, then set it on the base.
You can dye the cotton or use a craft punch to cut star shapes out of the paper cup for a lovely touch.
The materials you seal inside let you create a one-of-a-kind piece, so give it a try!

A tinsel Christmas wreath
Kids love sparkly pipe cleaners, don’t they? This Christmas wreath made with pipe cleaners is highly recommended because it’s easy for parents and children to make together.
Wrap pipe cleaners cut into thirds around a straw to create feather-like pieces.
Then fit three spring-shaped pipe cleaners onto a straight pipe cleaner, shape it into a wreath, decorate it, and you’re done.
Using different colors for the spring-shaped pipe cleaners also looks cute.
It’s a craft that even young children can make with a parent, so be sure to create a lovely handmade wreath and make it a special Christmas memory.
Snowman Christmas wreath
I’ll show you how to make a Christmas wreath easily using items from a 100-yen shop! The materials are decorative balls, floral wire, beads, thread, chenille stems (pipe cleaners), rhinestones, and other decorations.
First, thread the wire through the decorative balls.
Form a ring, twist the wire, and shape it into a wreath.
Decorate it with rhinestones and whatever you like.
Next, make a snowman by threading two white decorative balls with a needle and thread.
Wrap a chenille stem around its neck as a scarf, and use black beads for the eyes.
Finally, tie the snowman to the wreath—and you’re done!
Snow globe made with 100-yen shop materials
Here’s an easy snow globe idea using items you can buy at a 100-yen shop.
Apply glue to the bottom of the decorations and secure them inside a jar, then fill the jar halfway with water.
Pour in liquid glue, and decorate with glitter or sparkles.
Stir the decorations with a chopstick or similar, then close the lid to finish.
A nice point is that you can freely use seasonal items sold at 100-yen shops, like Santa, reindeer, and snowmen.
Try making a snow globe you can enjoy crafting together with family and friends.
reindeer headband
Perfect for Christmas or stage performances! Here’s an idea for a reindeer headband.
This one is made using construction paper.
First, let’s make the base for the headband out of construction paper.
Cut the paper into long, narrow strips to fit the shape of the head, then layer two strips together and glue them for reinforcement.
Next, cover it with black colored paper, roll it into a curve, and let it dry for a day.
Doing this will add a rounded shape to the previously flat base, making it fit around the head.
Once it’s dry, attach reindeer antlers made from construction paper and colored paper to the base, and you’re done! Not just reindeer—depending on your ideas, you can make all kinds of headbands.
