[Christmas Craft] Easy Stained Glass-Style Decorations with Laminating and Coloring!

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)

#4 Easy Paper ‘Star Folding’ Decor for Your Room: Christmas Ornaments

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!

Iron bead ornament

DIY Christmas ornaments with Perler beads

There are beginner kits for Perler beads, and they’re very convenient because they come with plenty of color variations from the start, such as 24 or 48 colors.

Speaking of Christmas-themed molds, the classics like gift boxes, snowmen, stockings, and snowflakes are easy to find.

When ironing, the trick is not to press too hard and to keep the temperature low to medium, using a dry setting.

It’s also a good idea to restock frequently used colors like white and black.

Making lots of the same design and lining them up looks cute too!

straw himmeli

Angel Land Fukui: Let's Make Star Ornaments

A himmeli is a mobile made of straw that originates from Finland in Northern Europe.

Also called a “mobile of light,” it was traditionally displayed during a festival called Joulu and, over time, came to be hung on Christmas trees as well.

Why not try making a himmeli with drinking straws? Cut the straws into pieces about 10 cm long and form a regular pentagon.

Thread string through them and arrange them into a star shape.

Fix the shape with glue so it doesn’t collapse, and you’re done.

There are also videos online that show how to make three-dimensional shapes using straws, so if you want to stand out from the crowd, be sure to check those out.
