Stained-glass-style tree made with transparent origami
Here’s a stained-glass-style tree you can enjoy decorating on walls or windows! By using transparent origami paper, you get a lovely see-through effect.
For preparation, make a tree from construction paper folded in an accordion style.
Sketch a tree shape on a clear file, then attach small pieces of cut transparent origami to fill it in.
After trimming around the edges, glue it onto the construction paper tree, secure it to the base, and it’s done! It also looks cute if you change the color of the construction paper tree or use different colors and patterns of transparent origami.
Socks with various patterns
Here are some ideas that will let children enjoy making crafts with excitement as Christmas approaches! Let’s create stockings with various patterns—perfect for lively wall decorations.
Cut construction paper into the shape of a stocking, and have the children draw patterns on the stockings or enjoy decorating them with vinyl tape, masking tape, cotton, and more.
If you have time, it would be lovely to add edited photos of the children as well.
Decorating for Christmas together with the children is sure to deepen their bond with the teacher even more!
A three-dimensional tree made with tissue paper
As an idea for December wall decorations, we recommend a three-dimensional Christmas tree made with tissue paper flowers! It’s perfect for making together with the kids in a lively, fun way, so why not include it in your December crafts? Arrange tissue-paper flowers in the shape of a tree and display them on the wall! Adding origami Santas, bells, or stockings will make it even more festive.
If you have the children try the origami, their unique creations will turn into delightful pieces that are fun just to look at.
Cake-style cardboard tree
Let us introduce a cake-style cardboard tree that boosts the lively, festive Christmas mood! It’s perfect for teachers and children to make together.
Glue torn pieces of green paper onto cardboard boxes, then stack and combine them to create a wedding-cake shape! Decorate it with ribbons, glittery tinsel, and cotton, or even add paper plate crafts made separately by the children for an extra special touch.
A Christmas tree that everyone works hard to make together is sure to become an unforgettable memory for the kids!
Santa and Reindeer Wreath
Let’s make a Santa and Reindeer wreath together with children who are excited for Christmas! This wreath is easy to create—just make the Santa and reindeer parts and connect them into a circle.
Since you won’t need scissors or glue, you can enjoy making it together with peace of mind.
Have fun adding originality by drawing Santa’s and the reindeer’s eyes and noses, or use round stickers for a quick and simple look.
It’s sure to capture children’s anticipation for Christmas and become a fun craft that brightens up the winter season!
Paper tube Christmas tree
If there’s a big Christmas tree decorating the wall, it excites not only kids but adults too, right? How about making such a big tree using toilet paper rolls? Prepare some rolls at their full length and some cut in half, then combine them to form neat tiers.
Wrap each roll with colored construction paper and secure it with duct tape.
You can make the tree trunk with rolls as well.
Stick rolls together with double-sided tape, wrap yarn around and around them, and you’re done.
It’s easy to adjust the size, so it’s great that you can make anything from small to large, just the way you like.
A big tree made from mini trees
This is a lively, big Christmas tree made by hanging lots of mini strap-style trees.
Draw a grid on a large backing board so that two squares equal the size of one mini tree.
Don’t forget to leave margins on both sides! For the parts where the tree straps will hang, make slits with a craft knife, insert clips, and secure them with cellophane tape.
It’s also nice that you can add more backing board as needed with tape.
Attach a large star to the top, and you’ll have a powerful big tree made from many small trees combined!
