Christmas wreath made with origami
Making a wreath out of origami might look difficult at first, but this wreath has simple steps and folds, so kids can enjoy making it too.
When folding the origami that’s been cut into quarters, fold carefully along the crease you made when halving the paper.
You’ll make eight identical pieces.
When gluing the wreath parts together, apply glue to the tip of each piece and attach them, paying attention to where you place them so the colors alternate—this will give it a more Christmassy feel.
Decorate with ribbons or colored pens and enjoy the holiday season!
Origami Leaf Wreath
A Christmas wreath made by combining origami.
Without using scissors or cutters, you fold the origami paper into leaf shapes and connect them to form a wreath.
You can use green origami, which evokes the look of leaves, and then add decorations, or mix several colors of origami to make it colorful—either way, it’s a highly flexible craft that makes it easy to reflect your child’s preferences.
This recommended Christmas wreath will brighten up kindergarten or nursery classrooms and events.
Decorated with yarn! Christmas wreath
Why not try making a classic Christmas decoration—a Christmas wreath—by hand? By using the shape of a paper plate, you can achieve a neat finish.
Cut out the center so that only the rim of the paper plate remains.
Color the donut-shaped plate with a green marker.
Wrap colorful yarn around it, securing it with glue as you go, and add some beads for a fun, vibrant look—your wreath is complete! You can also use paint or crayons to color the plate for a different feel.
Make plenty and enjoy a festive, dazzling Christmas!
Yarn wreath
How about making a wreath with paper plates and yarn with your child as a Christmas decoration? Yarn wreaths look fluffy and very cute, adding warmth to any room.
They’re very simple to make: cut out the center of a paper plate and wrap yarn around the outer ring.
Use beads, ribbons, or felt for decorations to create a one-of-a-kind wreath.
Making it together with kids will be fun and is sure to become a wonderful Christmas memory.
Christmas wreath made from a paper plate
Let’s make a sparkly, cute wreath using a paper plate.
First, cut a circular hole out of the center of the plate and paint it green.
Attach a silver tinsel pipe cleaner around the inner ring using double-sided tape.
Decorate with die-cut snowflakes and red dot stickers.
Finally, punch a hole at the top, thread a pipe cleaner through to form a loop, and tie a red ribbon to finish.
Hang it in your room to instantly make it more festive and enjoy the full Christmas mood.
You can make it with materials from the 100-yen shop, so give it a try!

Wreath made with paper plates
Let’s enjoy making wreaths by freely decorating paper plates.
As preparation, please cut out a circle from the center of each paper plate.
Have the children draw with crayons or glue on torn pieces of origami paper.
Using round stickers is also a great idea.
Babies around 0 years old tend to put things in their mouths, so avoid using items like beads or nuts that they might ingest.
Each child’s one-of-a-kind wreath, expressing their own world, will surely become a treasured keepsake for their caregivers.
Paper plate wreath
Paper-plate wreaths are a fun DIY party decoration, and they’re highly recommended because the materials are easy to gather and the steps are simple.
Just cut out the center of a paper plate to make a ring for the base, then attach construction-paper strips or yarn to create a unique wreath.
You can also trace and cut out children’s handprints and paste them on to make a one-of-a-kind wreath in the whole world.
It will be a memorable keepsake.
If you use scissors or a craft knife for the cutting, please have an adult help.
