Handmade Christmas presents! Easy ideas for kids to make

Tissue Paper Flower Gift

When it comes to flowers for the Christmas season, poinsettias, cyclamens, and Christmas roses come to mind, don’t they? Real flowers are lovely, but flower crafts made from paper stay beautiful forever and are delightful, too.

Cut tissue paper into small squares and use chopsticks to stick them into clay.

If you gather Christmas colors—red, green, white, and yellow—you can create pieces that really evoke the season.

You can place your tissue paper creations in a box, or put them in a paper cup to look like a flowerpot.

They look elaborate, but they’re easy to make, making them perfect for children’s Christmas crafts.

These sweet chocolate trees are treats that are sure to make kids smile.

Lots of children love chocolate, right? Pocky is practically the quintessential chocolate snack.

Use a chocolate pen to pipe back and forth over a Pocky stick in a triangular shape to create a tree.

Before the chocolate pen sets, add silver dragées or chocolate sprinkles to finish.

By changing the type of Pocky chocolate and the color of the chocolate pen, you can make chocolate trees with a variety of looks.

Simple bouquet

Self-adhesive laminate sheets, which are also sold at 100-yen shops, are very handy.

Besides hand-applied lamination, there’s also a method that uses a machine called a laminator, which applies heat.

If you don’t laminate frequently, the hand-applied type is easier.

With hand application, you also don’t have to worry about burns from a high-temperature laminator.

The process is simple: just stick flower stickers onto the laminate sheet to make it.

You could also switch the flower stickers to something more Christmas-themed.

Try arranging them in different ways, like making bookmarks, keychains, or inserts for smartphone cases.

If you could easily make one at home using newspaper and paper cups, kids would be thrilled.

Crumple newspaper, stick it onto a paper cup, and wrap it with patterned or decorative aluminum foil.

Adding packing cushion sheets or pom-poms around the opening of the boot makes it look even more realistic.

A Christmas boot you make yourself and fill with your favorite treats will become a cherished memory.
