Snowman made from a Yakult container

[100-Yen DIY] Snowman made from Yakult containers ⛄️

How about making cute snowman figures using containers from lactic acid bacteria drinks? First, remove the lid and the surrounding plastic film from the container.

Then cover it with white fabric—if you want to create a soft, fluffy snowman look, using quilt batting is recommended.

Once the whole surface is covered, use yarn to make a hat for the snowman.

Finally, add beads for the snowman’s eyes, nose, and other facial features, and decorate the body as you like—then it’s done! Make several and display them together to create a lively, gentle atmosphere.

Santa made of felt

Handmade Santa 🎅 #diychristmasornament #diysantaclaus #Christmasdecorations

Here’s a handmade idea for a cone-shaped Santa Claus.

First, cut a piece of cardstock into a semicircle and roll it into a cone.

Cover it with felt in your favorite color, then glue a long, thin strip of white felt slightly above the center to represent the hat.

Cut out the face base and clothing pieces from felt and attach them as well.

For the beard, use yarn and a pen, creating it with a method similar to casting on stitches in knitting.

Once you’ve glued the beard around the face base, add eyes using rhinestones painted black and attach a larger bead for the nose.

Finally, add a star-shaped accent to the chest, and you’re done.

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.

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.

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.
