This is a decoration that can also be used as an educational activity, where you thread yarn through holes punched in a paper plate to create a Christmas tree shape.

First, use a paper plate with a lace doily attached as the base, cut it into a triangle, and punch holes around the edges.

Then thread green yarn through the holes and shape it like a tree—that’s the basic idea.

How much yarn you thread is important, too; move your hands steadily to give the tree plenty of volume.

Using yarn in other colors to create ornaments for the tree is another recommended option.

A Christmas tree made with clay and tissue paper

@ouchiasobi_mii

@ouchiasobi_mii 👈 Nice to meet you (^^) I’d be happy if you check out my other posts too ✨✨ If you want to look back later, saving is handy 👍✨ /Totally hooked/ Fluffy Tree 🎄 Materials: - Paper plate (construction paper or colored paper works too) - Clay - Paint (I used acrylic) - Tissue paper (flower paper) - Cotton swabs In the video, the tissue paper colors are neatly separated, but when kids did it, we just mixed all kinds of colors and said it’s fine as long as you fill it up 😊 Try making your very own tree ♡#Christmas#ParentChildTime#StayHomeTime#ElementarySchoolMom#AtHomePlay

This is a Christmas tree mascot with a distinctive, softly textured look, made by combining clay and tissue paper.

First, shape the clay into a Christmas tree and coat the entire surface with glue.

Next, prepare tissue paper cut into small pieces, press them into the clay, and cover the surface.

It’s best to fill it in until the clay is hardly visible to create the effect of spreading leaves.

By choosing colors and arranging the tissue paper thoughtfully, you can create an even more beautiful Christmas tree.

Cut-and-paste snow globe

[Super Easy] How to Make a Snow Globe Christmas Decoration [All from the 100-yen shop] DIY How to make a Christmas ornament decoration

It’s a decoration that looks just like a snow globe, filled with a Christmas scene on a transparent background.

First, cut construction paper into a ring, attach plastic to it, and create a circular base.

Then apply clear double-sided tape there and place items like Santa Claus, reindeer, and snowflakes.

If you avoid overcrowding and let the transparent space show through, it will enhance the snow globe feel.

It might also be important to choose motifs that match the color of the ring to create a cohesive look.

Fruit net wreath

[Christmas Crafts 🎄] Easy: Make a Christmas Wreath with Fruit Nets / How to Make a Christmas Wreath from Fruit Nets

Let’s make a colorful and cute wreath that makes use of the mesh pattern of fruit nets.

First, cut cardboard into a ring, apply glue to the base, and attach the fruit nets.

Once the wreath base is ready, add the small decorations to finish.

Since the cardboard base will show through the gaps in the net, keep the net color in mind and decide the cardboard color in advance.

The key is to be mindful of the overall color balance—such as the color you paint on the cardboard, the color of the nets you use, and the colors of the decorations.

Christmas handprint art

Let’s use handprints to create various Christmas motifs.

Not only will they serve as decorations for that year, but if you do the same the following year, you can also see how your child has grown from the handprints used—that’s the idea.

The steps are simple: use white paint to make handprints on a backing sheet, then combine other colors to turn them into Santa Claus or snowmen.

When using white, those two are classics, but the key is to expand your imagination and consider what other shapes the handprints could resemble.
