[Christmas] Ideas for ornaments to decorate trees and rooms

POPS writer/editorKEI
Since discovering music during my school days, I’ve mainly listened to Japanese and Korean pop. I have experience writing articles for sites like Utaten. 2000s J-pop and 2010s K-pop were especially the soundtrack of my youth. With the mindset that “good is good,” I enjoy music across genres. Thanks to past work environments and their influence, I was exposed to lots of classic rock and kayōkyoku (Japanese popular songs), which may have broadened the scope of what I love. At RAG MUSIC, I currently focus on K-pop and J-pop. I strive to edit with a feel for the scene and an eye for hit potential.

Tree (yarn)

Let’s make a stylish yarn Christmas tree like the ones you see at interior shops and general stores! You’ll need yarn, ball pins, construction paper, scissors, a circle cutter, and glue.

First, cut a circle out of the construction paper.

Make a slit from the edge to the center of the circle, then form it into a cone and secure it with glue.

Next, generously apply glue all over the cone.

Once it’s coated, start wrapping the yarn around it.

Finally, stick a ball pin into the top, and your chic yarn Christmas tree is complete!

Dreamcatcher

Star Dreamcatcher Ornament ✨ #shorts #crafts #Christmas

Dreamcatcher

Here’s an idea for a dreamcatcher ornament that also works well as an accent piece.

A dreamcatcher is a decoration made by forming a ring from willow branches and stretching threads inside it in a web-like pattern.

Since it’s originally meant to be hung, if you make it in the traditional form, you can use it as an ornament as is.

By the way, dreamcatchers are believed to protect children from bad dreams and harm.

So they’re not just cute—they have meaning too.

Melt bead ornament

Decorate for Christmas with kids’ handmade crafts: How to make melt bead ornaments

Melt bead ornament

Melt beads is a technique where individual beads are fused together by heating them in an oven.

Instead of acrylic beads, use fuse beads (perler beads) for a clean bond.

For the mold, use a type of silicone that can withstand high temperatures to prevent it from sticking to the beads.

The result has glass-like colors and is very beautiful! After taking it out of the oven, make a hole with an awl and thread a string through it.

Since the air bubbles trapped inside the beads look lovely, it might be nice to try using transparent beads as well.

[Simple & Cute♡ Christmas Ornaments] Easy crafts you can make with items from Seria!

Wooden Stick Ornament

Just by combining wooden sticks, you can easily make cute Christmas ornaments! All you need are wooden sticks, colored tape, and your favorite sparkly stickers.

Use three sticks to form a triangle and secure it with glue.

Make another identical triangle and layer them to complete a star ornament.

If you overlap three sticks so they intersect at the center and glue them, you can also make a snowflake shape.

Decorate with star or stud-style stickers as you like, and hang them on the wall or your Christmas tree.

Paper clay ornament

Easy handmade with only 100-yen shop materials! Paper clay ornaments

Paper clay ornament

Making ornaments by freely shaping paper clay or using cookie cutters is a fun activity, and it sounds great to do with kids.

You can paint them after shaping, but if you mix paint directly into the clay first, the color spreads evenly and looks nicer overall.

Roll the clay into ropes, twist them together like a braid, then cut out shapes for a stylish marbled pattern! They’re very light, so you can attach all kinds of shapes to your tree or walls.

The way you mix the paint changes the hues, so give it a try and create your own original ornaments.
