Let’s make a Christmas-themed wall decoration using cozy yarn pom-poms! You can create pom-poms by wrapping yarn multiple times around your fingers and then cutting through the looped sections.

Once you’ve made enough for your decoration, start sticking them onto the wall.

To avoid getting confused about placement, it’s a good idea to first outline your design on the wall with masking tape.

Create shapes like a Christmas tree or a snowman to bring warmth and charm to your room.

A Christmas tree made with clothespins

Let’s make a Christmas tree using clothespins as stamps! Prepare dark construction paper such as navy or black, and attach a flowerpot for the tree made by cutting construction paper or origami.

Then dab a clothespin dipped in green paint onto the paper like a stamp.

It’s recommended to press with the gripping end facing upward.

After stamping enough to form the shape of a tree, add decorations like stars and ornaments using stickers or origami.

You can also make it look like snow is falling around it!

Three-dimensional tree mobile

How to Make a 3D Christmas Tree Mobile — It spins round and round when you hang it!

This is a three-dimensional hanging decoration inspired by the must-have Christmas tree.

Prepare three pieces of paper cut into tree and star shapes, and fold each in half.

Then glue them together at the center, punch holes at the top and bottom, and thread a string through.

You’ll have a Christmas tree with six “wings” fanned out! A fun point is how those spread wings catch the faint breeze in the room and gently spin.

Adding small decorations like beads can make it look festive and interesting, but if they’re too heavy it won’t spin as easily, so it’s important to consider the balance.

Three-dimensional Christmas wreath

As Christmas approaches, many households decorate their front doors or interior walls with Christmas wreaths.

You’ll also see them displayed in senior facilities and day service centers.

While it’s lovely to make a handmade wreath, creating one that looks realistic can be time-consuming.

You might need to craft the base from dried vines and gather pine cones or evergreens.

So this time, we’re introducing a charming, three-dimensional Christmas wreath made with construction paper.

Attach loops of paper—made by cutting paper into strips and forming rings—neatly onto a donut-shaped piece of thick cardboard.

Using 100-yen shop items like ribbons, beads, and bells for decorations is convenient.

Despite the simple steps, it involves finger dexterity, so it’s a project that could also help with brain training.

Simple flower ornament

[Origami] Easy! Flower Ornament – Christmas Ornament
Simple flower ornament

This is a flower ornament that looks glamorous but is very easy to make! Fold an origami sheet so that each side is divided into eighths, then cut along the creases to make eight strips.

Stack the eight strips, staple them in the center, and place them with the white side facing up.

Apply glue to both ends and stick them down toward the center.

For the second strip, apply glue in the same way and slide it under the center of the first strip before sticking it down.

Make a total of 16 loops, then shape them into a flower at the end, and your floral decoration is complete.

It’s an idea you can use not only for Christmas, so give it a try!

Paper poinsettia

[Christmas] Easy paper poinsettia decoration you can make right away (with voice commentary) – Easy paper Christmas Poinsettia decoration
Paper poinsettia

When it comes to Christmas flowers, poinsettias come to mind.

Their bright red leaves are beautiful, and you see them everywhere during the Christmas season.

So why not try making a paper poinsettia as a Christmas decoration? It’s easy for anyone to make: fold a square sheet of colored construction paper or origami paper in half twice to make a smaller square, then use scissors to make cuts and trim along the pattern.

If you glue two red leaf layers in a crisscross, it will look even more like a poinsettia.

If you want to get more elaborate, make slightly larger green leaves using the same method and attach them at the very bottom.

Santa and Reindeer made from paper plates

[Christmas Craft] Make Santa and Reindeer with Paper Plates ♪
Santa and Reindeer made from paper plates

These decorations use the curves of paper plates to create Santa Claus and a reindeer.

First, cut a paper plate in half and place it with the curved edge at the bottom.

Attach it to a construction-paper base shaped like a triangle with a circle at the tip to make Santa Claus.

Next, take a paper plate cut into quarters and add eyes, a nose, and antler parts to make the reindeer.

The key is the expressions you draw on the paper plates—focus on the design and craft your own unique characters.

Because the finished pieces are flat, this craft is perfect for wall decorations.
