[Christmas] Ornament ideas (21–30) for decorating trees and rooms
A classic Christmas tree made from a single sheet of construction paper
Here’s an idea for a Christmas tree that also works as a lampshade.
All you need is one sheet of green construction paper.
If you want to decorate the tree, prepare any embellishment parts you like.
First, cut the paper into a square, then fold it into a triangle twice.
You’ll find two pockets; open each and flatten them into squares.
With the center of the origami facing downward, fold both lower edges to the center line on both sides.
Unfold all the creases and squash-fold them into triangles.
The large triangles become the tree’s foliage, and the small triangle at the top becomes the trunk.
Cut slits into the foliage to create the jagged look of fir leaves.
For the trunk, roll the corners inward and glue the ends together to form a ring.
Decorate with your chosen parts, then place it over an LED light.
How to make a cute pom-pom Christmas tree
Let’s make a cute Christmas tree using decoration balls.
Prepare 25 decoration balls in your favorite colors, floral/arranging wire, origami paper, and decorative parts.
First, separate the balls into groups of 9, 7, 5, 3, and 1.
Thread each group onto wire, twist to secure, and form pom-pom rings.
For the single ball, insert a U-shaped bent piece of wire.
Roll the origami paper into a cone to create the base, then slide on and stack the rings in order from largest to smallest.
Finally, insert the single decoration ball at the top and decorate to finish.
Make it with construction paper! A cute 3D Christmas tree to display
This is an idea for making a tree by stacking parts of different sizes.
It’s simple yet looks beautiful—perfect as a tabletop Christmas decoration.
First, prepare five circular sheets of construction paper in different sizes.
Draw radial lines on each sheet to divide them into 16 sections, then fold the lines in alternating mountain and valley folds to create a shape like a closed umbrella.
Thread these onto a bamboo skewer from largest to smallest to form the tree shape.
However, if you thread them as-is, the paper will open under its own weight, so wrap some masking tape around the skewer as a stopper before sliding each piece on.
Fix the skewer to a plastic bottle cap for the base, and top the tree with a star to finish!
No-sew yarn Christmas tree
How about making a Christmas tree with cozy, warm yarn? There’s no knitting—just wrapping the yarn around a base—so it’s an easy idea to try with kids.
First, cut cardboard into the shape of a tree.
Then stick double-sided tape on the front and back of the three edges, peel off the backing, and staple the end of the yarn to the back.
From there, simply wrap as you like! Once you’ve wrapped it all around so the base doesn’t show, tie off the yarn so it won’t come loose, and decorate with ribbons or gem stickers.
Add a string and you can use it as an ornament, too.
Pom-poms are so cute! How to make a Christmas tree
The paper plate Christmas tree is a charming craft featuring adorable pom-poms.
Cut a paper plate in half, fold it into a triangle, and secure it with tape to create the tree shape.
Attach colorful pom-poms, and finish with a ribbon on top.
The fluffy texture is popular with kids, and each pom-pom adds to a bright, colorful look.
Because it’s made from a paper plate, it’s lightweight and perfect for decorating walls or windows.
Children can choose their favorite colors as they craft, making it easy to show their individuality.
Using simple materials, this idea results in a festive, eye-catching tree that’s fun to make and display.
A DIY Christmas tree made with 100-yen store items
It’s a Christmas tree made by attaching fringed origami to a cone base crafted from drawing paper.
The key is to curl the fringed sections by gently stroking them with a pen or the tip of a pair of scissors—this gives it a soft, fluffy texture.
We recommend making the slits very narrow, about 1 mm wide.
Create several of these pieces and glue them to the base in tiers.
Finish by adding a star and ribbon on the top and small pearls all over, and you’re done!
A Christmas tree made with torn-paper collage!
A torn-paper Christmas tree made by tearing and pasting origami is a craft you can enjoy with children.
Tearing the origami into small pieces exercises their fingers, and thinking about color combinations while sticking them on fosters creativity.
Add star-shaped stickers and decorative stickers freely, and you’ll have a one-of-a-kind colorful tree.
If you dot the background with a white crayon like falling snow, it will enhance the wintry atmosphere.
Working while chatting makes the conversation lively and creates lasting memories.
It’s a Christmas tree idea that uses simple materials to create a festive piece.
