Recommended for walls too! Disney-style candy strap
The candy strap, with the cozy feel of yarn as its highlight, can be enjoyed as a strap or as wall decor.
Cut construction paper into Mickey shapes, apply glue, and wrap yarn in a swirling motion to create it.
It’s best to make each part separately—face, ears, and so on.
Changing the yarn color for each part adds a unique touch and could make it extra cute.
If you’re using it as wall decor, skip the strap charm and simply display it on the wall for a festive look with a warm, Christmas-like feel.

Also for the wall! Minnie’s wreath
The Minnie Mouse wreath with green and red Christmas colors is absolutely adorable.
The method is very simple: prepare construction paper cut into separate parts for the face and ears.
You’ll layer red paper onto green paper; if you keep the widths even as you attach them, the finished piece will look well-balanced.
When making the ear parts, keep their proportions in harmony with the face to create a well-balanced Minnie wreath.
Hanging it on an interior wall may heighten the excitement of the Christmas season.
No-sew Felt Disney Ornaments
The charm of these no-sew Disney ornaments is that they look cute no matter what colors you use.
Get felt, scissors, glue, and ribbon ready, and let’s make one.
Cut eight circles out of felt, then glue the outer center edges of the felt pieces together.
Take the pairs you’ve glued into halves and attach them with glue so they form a sphere.
Finally, glue on the ears and add a decorative ribbon at the center—then it’s done.
Adding some large sparkly beads as accents could be adorable, too.
Cinderella Castle made with colored construction paper
Its nighttime appearance illuminated with lights—especially Cinderella Castle—shines beautifully, doesn’t it? Once you’ve prepared the photo or illustration of the Cinderella Castle you want to make, place it over construction paper and trace the outlines with a pencil to transfer the shapes onto the paper.
Since Cinderella Castle has many intricate parts, it’s best to break it down: trace the shapes, cut them out, and assemble them piece by piece.
After each part is finished, glue the parts together to build a large Cinderella Castle.
If you use navy or purple poster paper as the background, you’ll create a stunning nighttime Cinderella Castle that glows.
Cute Minnie Santa origami
Let’s make a Minnie Santa with origami! It’s cute to stick on the wall as is, and it would also look great combined with other Christmas-themed origami pieces to create a garland or hanging decoration.
First, use one sheet of origami paper to make the face, body, and hat.
Then use several other sheets to make the ears, bow, and scarf.
Since there are parts that require cutting, prepare scissors, a pen for drawing the face, and glue for assembly.
There aren’t any complicated steps, but because you’ll be putting several pieces together, fold each part carefully, one by one.
3D Santa Claus made with colored construction paper
A cute, plump, three-dimensional Santa Claus made from construction paper.
Get your construction paper, scissors, and glue ready and let’s get started.
First, make Santa’s face by cutting and gluing the parts—eyes, mustache/beard, and mouth—out of construction paper.
When making the hat, glue it into a tube shape to create the hat, leaving some hollow space inside the back; that’s the key point.
For the body, roll a sheet of construction paper and glue it so that the tip is inserted into the back side of the hat.
Attach the arms, legs, and boots, then cut slits into white construction paper to make Santa’s sack, and you’re done.
It might also be fun to create your own original Santa by changing the direction of the parts, the facial expression, and the colors of the paper.
[Origami] Snowman
![[Origami] Snowman](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/WD6wH5QnP64/sddefault.jpg)
This origami snowman is perfect for December, when it’s also the season of snow.
A snowman is made by placing one snowball on top of another, right? With a clever folding method, you can express the two stacked snowballs using just a single sheet of origami paper.
You can also make a scarf around the snowman’s neck.
If you use polka-dot or patterned paper, the pattern becomes the scarf, making it extra cute.
You can draw the eyes and mouth yourself, so each snowman has its own personality.
You can stick them on a wreath or a calendar, so try arranging them in different ways to expand the range of your creations.
