Hand-holding star
If you want to easily decorate your wall using only things you already have at home, I recommend these “hand-holding stars.” Amazingly, you can make this decoration with just paper, scissors, and a pen—super simple.
The method is very straightforward.
First, fold the paper back and forth like an accordion.
Next, it’s time for the pen: draw a star.
When you draw it, be careful not to finish the star’s tips—leave them slightly open.
Then just cut along the lines you drew! That’s all it takes to make a chain of hand-holding stars.
Give it a try!
Handprint Christmas wreath
With a handprint Christmas wreath, even small children can take the lead and enjoy the activity.
It’s easy to make: first, have them press their handprints onto construction paper, then draw a face and a sack on them to turn the prints into Santa Claus.
Finally, cut out the handprint Santas and attach them to the wreath to finish.
An adult may want to help with just the final step.
Also, be careful because small children might lick their paint-covered hands.
In addition, please take proper measures to protect the room from getting messy.
Paper plate Christmas wreath
Many people prepare paper plates for Christmas parties, but if you “don’t want any leftovers,” why not make a paper plate wreath to hang on the wall? It’s also a great craft to do with young children! Fold a paper plate in half and cut it to make the wreath base.
Paint it green, then tear and stick on origami paper, and add pompoms or yarn to make it look like a real wreath.
When using glue or paste, be careful to prevent children from accidentally swallowing it.
Punch a hole at the top and thread a ribbon through, and it will transform into a lovely wall decoration.
Socks bag
After decorating the wall with a Christmas tree and Santa Claus, you might still feel something is missing.
That’s when you should try adding a stocking bag.
This is a wall decoration made by punching holes in a Santa Claus stocking cut from construction paper and threading a string through.
Because it sways gently, it adds a lively touch.
Since a hole punch is used during the making process, be sure to supervise carefully to prevent injuries.
By the way, it also works properly as a bag, so you can display it with items inside.
Christmas bell
If you want a three-dimensional decoration to create a festive Christmas atmosphere, these Christmas bells are a great choice.
Among the ideas introduced here, this one takes the most time, but the result is truly three-dimensional, giving it outstanding impact and ambiance.
Also, this decoration uses gold paper.
Since store-bought origami sets that include multiple colors often contain only about one sheet of gold paper, it’s a good idea to purchase gold-only origami.
Although it takes some effort, it makes the wall look spectacular—so give it a try.
