[December Bulletin Boards] Cute Winter Craft Ideas (11–20) You Can Use Beyond Christmas!

Socks with various patterns

Introducing ideas that will get children excited as they create for Christmas! Let’s make socks with various patterns—perfect for lively wall decorations.

Cut construction paper into the shape of a sock, and let the children draw patterns on the socks or have fun decorating them with vinyl tape, washi tape, cotton, and more.

Using photos of the children would also make a lovely finish.

If teachers join in the decorating with the kids, it will make everyone look forward to Christmas Day 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, hands-on 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, and stockings will make it even more festive.

The origami decorations the children make will be unique and are sure to become delightful pieces just to look at.

Stained-glass-style tree made with transparent origami

It’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 look.

Fold construction paper accordion-style to make the tree base, and cut construction paper to form the tree.

Next, sketch a tree shape on a clear file, then stick on small pieces of transparent origami paper.

After trimming around the edges, glue it onto the construction paper tree, attach it to the base, and you’re done! Changing the color of the construction paper tree or the transparent origami paper can create a different vibe, and it looks beautiful when displayed.

Gingerbread

This is a wall decoration themed around gingerbread, a Western confectionery popular overseas.

Because it’s an activity where you draw freely on a gingerbread template, it’s perfect for children’s Christmas crafts.

First, use crayons to draw faces and patterns by tracing along the outside of the template, then do a resist painting with watercolors.

Having a variety of colorful crayons on hand will help spark children’s creativity.

It’s a fun idea that lets you enjoy the way the crayon drawings and patterns appear as the paint resists.

Try displaying the finished works together or taking photos to make lasting memories.

Snowman Stencil

Snowman Stencil

Here’s an idea for making a cute snowman using a stenciling technique.

Place a round-cut template on colored construction paper and lightly dab paint inside the circle with a stencil motion.

You don’t need special tools—small pieces of kitchen sponge work great.

Instead of filling everything in solidly, gently dab inside the circle of the template to build up the color.

Besides the snowman shape, you can also use hole punches to create a snowflake stencil, which is adorable too.

For durability and reuse, a clear file or plastic sheet works better than paper for the stencil.

Finish by decorating with round stickers, colored paper, crayons, and more.
