Snowflake Tree
When it comes to wall decorations perfect for December’s main event—Christmas—the snowflake tree is a top choice.
Attach snowflakes with various patterns to create a festive Christmas tree.
Use blue or light blue paper to make the base of the tree, and decorate it with snowflake ornaments.
Adding a ribbon or a snowflake to the top of the tree will give it an even more glamorous look.
There are many ways to make snowflakes, from simple to intricate, so try making them together with the children while discussing which styles to choose.
A tree made with torn-paper collage
We’ll show you how to make a torn-paper Christmas tree wall decoration! First, draw a tree on construction paper.
Next, tear origami paper into small pieces.
Glue the torn pieces onto the tree, making sure they don’t go outside the outline.
Tear some brown origami paper and stick it on for the trunk, and your tree is complete! Then decorate it with star stickers or any stickers you like.
It’s also great to cut out your favorite shapes from origami or construction paper for decorations.
It’s very easy to make, so be sure to enjoy creating an original wall display together with the kids.
Mini tree made with pine cones
You can make a mini Christmas tree using pine cones.
If you’re using pine cones you picked up, boil them and let them dry to prevent bugs.
Paint the pine cones with acrylic paint.
Mixing green and yellow gives a nice finish.
Next, use white paint to represent snow.
The key is to dab the paint with the tip of your brush without using water.
Finally, decorate them.
Add cute touches with beads and pom-poms.
They look adorable as room decor and also make great gifts for parents or guardians!
Felt Christmas tree
Let’s make a soft, gentle-looking Christmas tree using fluffy felt fabric.
First, create the base tree.
After cutting two pieces of fabric for the tree, mark the spots where the ornaments will go and sew on snap buttons.
Attach a ribbon at the top for hanging on the wall, then sew the two pieces of fabric together to finish the base.
Decorate the tree with Christmas-themed items like Santa and reindeer.
It’s a versatile idea that kids can enjoy too—have them attach their favorite pieces to the buttons.

Macrame Christmas tree
Here’s a cozy macramé Christmas tree idea.
Macramé, widely known as a technique for creating patterns by knotting and weaving threads, literally means crossing and tying.
There are about ten basic macramé knots.
Why not master those first and then try making a Christmas tree? As a tip, two cords of about 150 cm each are ideal.
Check out tutorial videos for detailed steps, and give it a try!
A Christmas tree made with washi (masking) tape
A Christmas tree made with masking tape is a simple decoration anyone can try.
Masking tape is usually used to protect areas from getting dirty during painting and other work, but it’s actually very handy and easy to use for making decorations, too! You can buy various colors at 100-yen shops, so try combining them for a vibrant finish.
You can also substitute craft color tape instead of masking tape, so give it a try with what you have available in your facility!
A Christmas tree made with paper cutouts
Paper cutouts are so much fun! Here’s how to make a Christmas tree wall display.
The materials are: templates for a folded-in-half construction paper Christmas tree and ornaments, glue, crayons, and paint.
First, cut out the Christmas tree.
Be sure to prepare construction paper that’s been folded in half with cut lines drawn in advance.
Cut out the ornament templates in the same way, and paint patterns on them.
Next, draw decorations on the Christmas tree with crayons, and finally glue on the ornaments to finish! You can also get creative with round stickers, pipe cleaners, and more to make your own original tree.
