[Christmas] Ornament Ideas for Decorating Trees and Rooms (31–40)
Accordion-folded Christmas tree
A Christmas tree made by accordion-folding colored construction paper is a fun craft with a three-dimensional shape.
First, cut green construction paper into long, narrow strips and carefully accordion-fold them to create layers.
By placing a roll of packing tape’s cardboard core or a paper cup inside, you can make a stable, three-dimensional tree.
Layer the folded pieces from the top down to create a natural volume.
Decorate with stars and beads for a festive, eye-catching finish.
The process also helps practice fine motor skills, so children will be thoroughly engaged.
The finished tree is perfect for displaying on a tabletop.
This is a Christmas tree idea that’s easy to make with simple materials, fun to decorate, and gives a great sense of accomplishment.
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.”
Christmas boots
Handmade boots that can be used as ornaments or garlands for a Christmas tree.
They’re easy to make with just a few steps, so it’s a great activity to try with kids.
Make the boot-shaped bag by taping an OPP bag after cutting slits, then fill it with crumpled tissue paper.
Add white cotton up to the top of the bag and tape it closed.
Decorate with ribbons and pom-poms, attach a looped twist tie, and you’re done.
It’s a fun boot idea that you can customize with different tissue paper colors and decorative parts.
Christmas boots (pom-pom)
Ideas for Christmas boots made with soft-touch pom-poms.
They’re versatile items that shine as Christmas decorations, keychains, and more.
Wrap wool roving and yarn around a tool, tie it securely at the top, then remove it from the tool.
Cut through the center of the yarn wrapped around your fingers to create a pom-pom.
Use a needle to felt the wool, decorate with ribbons, and shape it into a boot to finish.
It’s a handmade piece that conveys warmth through both the color and materials of the boot.
Santa and Reindeer Wreath
Let’s make a “Santa and Reindeer Wreath” together with 5-year-olds who are excited for Christmas! This wreath is easy to make—just create the Santa and reindeer parts and connect them into a circle.
You won’t need scissors or glue, so you can enjoy it together safely! You can also add a personal touch by drawing the eyes and noses of Santa and the reindeer, or keep it simple by using round stickers.
It’s a great way to capture children’s anticipation for Christmas and will surely become a fun craft that brightens up the winter season!
[Christmas] Ornament ideas for decorating your tree and room (41–50)
stained-glass-style ornament
Why not make stained-glass-style decorations and enjoy Christmas together? First, cut out black outlines in shapes like stars, trees, and hearts.
Once the outlines are ready, sandwich them between laminating sheets and laminate them.
Since the laminator gets hot, be sure to work in an area away from children.
Next, carefully cut around the outside of the laminated outline, making sure the corners aren’t sharp.
Flip it over and draw straight-line patterns inside the outline.
Have the kids color them in with permanent markers.
Finally, use a hole punch to make a hole and thread a string so it can be hung.
The transparency is beautiful, so please display them in various places.
Star (construction paper)
Here’s an idea for a star ornament you can use for Christmas and more.
Take a square sheet of construction paper, fold it in half to make a crease—do this step twice—then fold it four more times and cut with scissors to form a pentagon.
Open the paper and make slits; fold it again and cut along the slits to quickly transform it into a star shape.
Alternate mountain and valley folds along the creases to create a three-dimensional star ornament.
Add a loop to hang it, and it’s perfect not only for a tree ornament but also as a wall decoration!
