Christmas Crafts to Enjoy with Kids: Stylish and Easy Ideas (41–50)
photo snow globe
An original snow globe that you can easily make just by cutting out and inserting your favorite photo.
If you use the Original Photo Dome sold by the Japan Snow Globe Association, there’s no need to deal with liquids—you just create the photo portion and it’s done.
Since the combined photo becomes the background of the snow globe, think about which colors will make the glitter sparkle most beautifully.
To make the photo stand out even more, we also recommend a setup with a light installed underneath.
Paper plate Christmas tree
This is a small Christmas tree mascot made by decorating a base crafted from a cut paper plate.
First, cut the paper plate in half, paint the rim brown for the trunk, then roll it into a pointed cone shape.
Next, glue small pieces of green origami around it as leaves, add decorations, and it’s done.
It’s important to attach the leaves firmly to cover the base and build up volume.
Since the overall design is simple, it might be nice to think about the surrounding scene and how you arrange it.
Fingerprint ornament
Simple yet cute! Here’s an ornament idea you can make with finger stamps.
Prepare lace paper doilies, circular colored cardstock and white cardstock, ink pads, round stickers, and pens.
Cut the colored cardstock smaller than the lace doily but larger than the white cardstock.
Glue them in order—colored cardstock onto the lace doily, then white cardstock on top.
Stamp fingerprints onto the white cardstock.
Next, use round stickers and pens to create snowmen or reindeer.
Finally, attach a string for hanging, and you’re done! It’s also fun to decorate the blank spaces with stickers or write “Merry Xmas.”
Ornaments that can be stuck on windows

These are ornaments you can stick on windows or mirrors to boost the Christmas vibe, and they look very stylish.
Prepare a clear file folder, sequins, paper, felt-tip pens, and glue, then let’s make them.
Draw a circle on paper, place it inside the clear file, and drip glue over the top.
Sprinkle glitter or sequins over it and let it dry thoroughly.
Peel it off the clear file, and it’s done.
Stick it on a window to enjoy a festive atmosphere.
It might also be cute to draw boots, Santa Claus, and other illustrations on the paper.
Christmas tree made with a wooden box
A Christmas tree made with a wooden box is a fun project for everyone from small children to adults.
Drizzle glue onto the wooden box in the shape of a tree to draw the outline.
Then add beads on top.
It’s recommended to mix larger and smaller beads as you go.
Prepare bead colors to suit your taste—either a single color or multiple colors.
Decorating with small accessories around it can add a personal touch and make it even cuter.
Give it a try and make it for a fun Christmas!
Projection tree
This is a craft that uses light to gently reveal a Christmas scene.
Layer a Christmas landscape drawn on tracing paper over a mirror-finish circle that reflects light, then combine it with a tracing-paper cone.
After that, shine a light from above, and the reflected light on the mirror surface will project around the surroundings.
Let’s refine the details—such as which colors show up clearly and the best angle to shine the light—to improve the overall quality.
Christmas tree
If you paint patterns with marble art, your tree will have a unique and stylish vibe! First, secure a sheet of construction paper to the bottom of a box.
Prepare several colors of paint thinned with a little water, drop some marbles into the paint, then transfer the marbles to the box and roll them around.
After creating colorful patterns with two or three marbles, take the paper out of the box and cut it into a tree shape.
Attach it to a backing sheet or card, and you’re done! Decorate it with Christmas motifs like stars, stockings, and presents to make the piece even more festive.
