Christmas boots made from paper cartons

[100-Yen Christmas DIY] Christmas Boots Made from a Paper Carton

Here’s an idea for Christmas boots that are perfect for decorations.

You’ll need two small paper cartons, red and white felt, any origami paper you like, and white cotton balls.

The base of the boot is made by combining the two paper cartons.

Use the first carton to form the vertical part of the boot and the second carton to form the rounded toe.

Before assembling, decorate the inside of the first carton with the origami paper.

Once you’ve combined the cartons into a boot shape, attach the red and white felt to the outside, then finish by decorating with the cotton balls.

Here’s a way to make Christmas cards using leftover fabric scraps.

Simply glue scraps cut into your favorite shapes onto a card base to enjoy three-dimensional designs like trees, wreaths, or Santa.

It’s easy even for those who aren’t good at sewing, and it’s great for making use of fabric scraps you already have at home.

Crumpled tissue paper tree

Here’s a cute Christmas tree idea where you stick crumpled tissue paper onto a cone base.

First, roll a piece of thick paper into a cone to make the base and cover the surface with double-sided tape.

Next, crumple green tissue paper and stick it on to fill the base.

Once the tree itself is done, decorate it with Christmas stickers as ornaments.

To evoke snow, loosely wrap white yarn around the whole tree, then add a star on top to finish.

Try using tissue paper in various colors to create a tree that reflects your own style.

Easy Paper Plate Snowman Wall Hanging

[Paper Plate Craft] Make it in 5 Minutes! An Easy Snowman Wall Decoration Using Paper Plates

A snowman wall decoration made with paper plates that combines a three-dimensional look with cuteness—perfect for winter crafts.

Cut out a circle from the paper plate, leaving part of the inner section, then flip it upward to create a raised base for the face.

Cut felt into a long strip and snip slits at both ends to make a scarf, then wrap it around the neck.

Attach a triangular piece of origami for the nose.

Use round stickers for the eyes, draw the cheeks with crayon, and decorate the body with sparkly stickers to give the snowman an expressive look.

It’s an idea that allows older adults to bring a wintry feel indoors.

Fluffy snowman made with tissue paper

[For December Wall Decor] Fluffy Tissue-Paper Snowman ❄️⛄️#Childcare CraftingNursery teacher / Childcare worker#Drawers of Childcare#NurseryTeacherInTraining#NurseryTeacherThingsWith childrendrawing papertissue paper flowersPaper plate craftSnowman

♪ Original Song – Craft Ideas for Childcare ♪ Hoiku Kyujin Labo – Hoiku Kyujin Labo | Nursery Teacher Job Changes and Helpful Information

Here’s a craft idea for a snowman that could also become a wall decoration if you hang it with a string.

First, cut out the inside of a paper plate so only the rim remains, then glue on crumpled tissue paper.

Next, cut out a circular piece from construction paper for the head and a rectangular piece for the bucket hat.

Draw the face with a pen, attach the bucket, then glue it to the paper plate to finish.

It’s handy to pre-cut the tissue paper into sizes that are easy to crumple, but having the person making it tear the paper themselves can also be good finger exercise.

Paper Plate Snow Globe

@hachimitu_835

The laminate film is the hand-applied laminate from Daiso.Nursery teacher / Childcare worker#Nursery schoolProductionTranslationsnow globe#Wall Creation

♬ Loose and cute “Turkish March”(102686) – KK

Let’s make a paper-plate snow globe that looks beautiful when hung on a window and lit from behind.

First, cut out the inner part of a paper plate and attach a circular piece of laminate film.

Next, from the back, cover the entire opening with tissue paper cut into a circle, and seal the adhesive edge with OPP tape.

Finally, stick a construction-paper snowman onto the front of the laminate film, and you’re done.

In this idea, colorful tissue paper is used for a vibrant finish, but I think it would also look lovely unified in blue tones to evoke snow.

Perfectly round snowman

[Kindergartens/Daycare Centers] Perfect for Wall Decorations! December Round Snowman Craft

Let me share an idea for making a perfectly round snowman designed to look like it’s gazing upward.

First, cut a paper cup about 4–5 cm up from the bottom.

Next, attach a snowman face made from construction paper to the bottom of the cup, then glue it to the center of a paper plate.

The paper plate will be the snowman’s body, so add pipe-cleaner arms and use round stickers to create patterns on the body.

Finally, decorate the paper plate with star stickers, and you’re done.

It’s very simple yet creates a striking piece, so give it a try!
