Felt poinsettiaNEW!

[Super Easy] Make a Poinsettia with Felt [Endless Arrangements]

This is a simple craft to brighten up your Christmas or winter decor.

You can display it in the entryway or on a table, or arrange it as a wreath or small ornament.

First, staple the template and cut the felt.

After folding it in half, press a crease with your fingernail.

Make a slit in the center, apply glue, then fold along the crease and pinch at the center with your fingers to shape it.

Prepare three cotton swabs cut in half, and wrap them with floral tape.

Insert the cotton swabs into the poinsettia, adjust the shape, and secure the back center with glue to finish.

Although it involves some handwork, it’s safe and easy, so older adults can enjoy it too, and it lets you create a warm, seasonal atmosphere by hand.

snowman

[Craft Idea] Snowman SNOWMAN (December, January, February - Winter) (Wall Decorations) (Elderly Recreation / OT / Day Service) (Early Childhood Education) (DIY) (Simple Craft)

Let’s try making a slightly three-dimensional snowman.

First, we’ll make the snowman’s body.

Begin by stacking two sheets of origami paper and folding them in half, then apply glue only along the crease and stick them together.

Next, with the glued papers still folded in half, cut them into the shape of a snowman.

When you unfold the cut piece, the three-dimensional snowman body is complete.

After that, cut out the hat, nose, and other decorative parts from origami paper and attach them to the body to finish.

Watching a video will likely make the process easier to understand, so please use one as a reference.

It looks like everyone will be able to create unique snowmen with their own personal decorations.

Glowing Snowman

[Baby & Mom] Easy to make with Yakult | How to spend winter break | Kids will love it | Fine motor skills learning | Xmas handmade toy | snowman | #shorts #craft #crafts #handmadeToys #parenting

How about making a fun Christmas-time snowman using just empty Yakult bottles, round stickers, and decoration lights from the 100-yen shop? Peel off the outer label from the empty Yakult bottle, then use round stickers to create the snowman’s features.

For the nose, cut a large round sticker into a triangle—it works great.

Put the decoration light inside, and you’re done.

Even if it’s not a snowman, you can add any pattern to the empty bottle and pop in a decoration light to use it as various kinds of ornaments.

party hat

How to Make a Construction Paper “Party Cone Hat” (Triangle Hat) [Easy Christmas Craft]

I also recommend the idea of making triangular party hats out of construction paper.

All you need is a green, fan-shaped piece of construction paper.

Using this, create a circle with a radius of 20 cm.

For the part that sticks out, place a rubber band there, fold it up, and secure it with tape.

On the opposite side of the rubber band, attach a strip of construction paper about 3 cm long and fix it with the rubber band.

Finally, thread the construction paper through the rubber band to form a loop, and you’re done.

It’s simple, so give it a try! It’s also fun to customize the length and colors.

Cute Santa and an origami Christmas tree

How to make a cute Santa with a fluffy paper beard and an origami Christmas tree / How to make a cute Santa Claus and Christmas tree with paper

Just by putting a little decoration in your room, you can instantly get into the Christmas spirit with these “cute Santa and origami Christmas trees.” The charm of this craft is that you can make it with familiar materials like colored construction paper, origami paper, and toilet paper rolls! For both crafts, the main steps involve cutting and pasting colored paper or origami.

A key point is using toilet paper for Santa’s hat and outfit’s white trim, as well as his beard! For the beard in particular, the toilet paper is torn by hand to give it a fluffy finish.

If you’re incorporating this into a day-service craft activity, it might go smoothly if you assign roles and have everyone divide up the tasks.

Santa Claus

[Easy ✨ Origami] How to Make a Santa Claus 🎅 Christmas Decoration 🌲 [All from the 100-yen shop] DIY How to Make a Paper Christmas Ornament: Santa Claus.

Let’s make Santa Claus, an iconic Christmas motif, using origami.

Draw lines on red origami paper and cut it out, then roll it into a pointed cone to form the base.

Attach parts like the face, beard, and hat trim to it.

Use rhinestones for the facial features, stickers for the buttons on the outfit, and finish by adding a pom-pom to the tip of the triangle.

It’s also recommended to make mascots like a reindeer or snowman using the same base and display them together to enhance the Christmas atmosphere.
