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
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
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
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.
wreath
The paper chain decoration that almost everyone has made at least once! Fold origami paper, cut it into thin strips, roll each strip into a loop and glue the ends together.
From the second loop onward, thread the strip through the previous loop before gluing.
Repeat this process until it reaches your desired length, and in no time your paper chain is complete! It’s very simple, but seeing a paper chain often brings to mind exciting events like birthdays or parties for many people.
To get ready for a fun Christmas, try making a little at a time during craft time.
