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!
Moving Santa Claus
How about making a Santa climbing up a chimney using a paper cup? First, cut out the bottom of the paper cup.
Next, prepare two red straws, each about 5 cm long.
Attach them to the inside of the paper cup with red vinyl tape, and the mechanism is complete.
Then, stick a Santa made from colored construction paper onto the cup, and prepare a background with a chimney, Christmas tree, and so on.
Fix a string to the wall or hang it on a hook, and when you pull the two ends of the twine to the left and right, Santa will climb upward.
Have fun!
Star ornament
Here’s an idea for a star ornament you can use at Christmas.
Start with a square sheet of construction paper, fold it in half to make a crease, then crease it twice more, and fold it four additional times before cutting with scissors to form a pentagon.
Open the paper, make small slits, fold it back up, and cut along those slits—voilà, it quickly turns into a star.
Alternate mountain and valley folds along the creases to create a three-dimensional star ornament.
Add a loop for hanging, and it’s perfect not only for the tree but also as a wall decoration!
A tree made by threading yarn through it
How about trying a cozy, yarn-decorated Christmas tree? It’s a great craft idea to make with kids.
Use a hole punch to make holes in construction paper, then have the children thread yarn through to form a tree shape.
The yarn can go straight or diagonal—anything goes! Using multiple colors instead of just one adds a stylish touch.
For the finishing touches, decorate with colorful pom-poms or stick star-shaped stickers in the empty spaces—both look lovely.
