[Childcare] Ideas for December wall crafts! Decorations to brighten Christmas and winter (1–10)
Santa hanging ornament
When you think of Christmas, many children might picture Santa Claus.
Here’s a hanging decoration using origami Santa Clauses.
First, use a compass to draw lines on red, white, and light peach origami paper, then cut along the curves.
On the red sheet, paste the white piece to make the hat brim and the light peach piece for the face.
Draw the eyes on the light peach area with a black pen.
Attach a string to the right-angled corner with tape, curl the piece around, and glue it in place, and your Santa Claus is complete.
Christmas wreath made with decorative balls

I’ll show you how to make a very cute wreath for Christmas! You’ll need 12 colored decoration balls, 2 white decoration balls, floral wire, rhinestone stickers, decorative tape, thread, chenille stems (pipe cleaners), and wood glue.
First, thread all the colored decoration balls onto the floral wire, twist the wire into a ring shape, and secure it.
Trim any excess and decorate with rhinestone stickers to complete the wreath base.
Next, use a needle to thread string through the two white decoration balls to make a snowman.
Add a scarf with a chenille stem and stick on eyes with decorative tape.
Tie the snowman’s string to the wreath, and you’re done!

Tear the tissue paper into vertical strips, then crumple and glue them onto the cut-out part of the plate.
Draw the snowman’s face with crayons on a circle cut from construction paper, and glue on a hat cut from construction paper.
Finally, glue the face onto the paper plate—and you’re done! Prepare tissue paper in various colors to make it cute and colorful.
Christmas Tree Made with Salt Painting
https://www.tiktok.com/@kichijyo/video/7177698975871487234Introducing how to make a magical Christmas tree with salt painting! The materials are wood glue, paint, salt, construction paper, a tray, and so on.
First, use wood glue to draw the shape of a tree on the construction paper.
Be sure to fill in the inside so it’s completely white.
Next, sprinkle salt over it by hand—go ahead and add enough to cover the tree so you can’t see it.
After sprinkling the salt, hold it over a tray or box and tap off the excess.
You’ll be left with salt only on the tree part, raised up as if it’s floating.
Finally, paint the tree and the paper with your favorite colors, and you’re done!
Christmas tree made with decalcomania
https://www.tiktok.com/@hoikushi_bank/video/7031507934072835330Let’s make a cute Christmas tree wall decoration using decalcomania! You’ll need paint in your favorite colors, colored construction paper, a pencil, and glue.
First, fold a green sheet of construction paper in half, and on just one side of the folded paper, paint patterns with the colors you like.
After painting, fold the paper closed to transfer the patterns, then draw a rough outline of a tree with a pencil and cut it out to make a tree silhouette.
Open it up and it’s done! You can also glue a star on top, or glue the tree onto another sheet of paper and paint around it—both are adorable and highly recommended.
Socks made with roll sticky notes
https://www.tiktok.com/@haruharo_made/video/7307535378657905928Here’s how to make cute Christmas boots using roll sticky notes! You’ll need white construction paper, paint in your favorite colors, and roll sticky notes.
First, stick the roll sticky notes onto the white paper in any shapes you like.
Next, paint the gaps with your chosen colors.
Once it’s dry, peel off the sticky notes and cut the paper into the shape of a boot.
Finally, cut white construction paper into a fluffy cotton-like shape for the top of the boot and glue it on to finish.
For an even cuter look, you can use real cotton instead of paper for the fluffy part—highly recommended!
3D puff Christmas tree
https://www.tiktok.com/@haruharo_made/video/7304597128712588562Introducing a simple Christmas tree craft using 3D puffs! The materials are 3D puffs, white construction paper, navy construction paper, paint, glue, and decorations.
First, color the 3D puffs and lightly press them onto the paper to transfer the color.
Once dry, cut the shape into a tree.
Dip a cotton swab in white paint and stamp it onto the navy paper to create a snowy effect.
Glue the tree onto the paper, add decorations like presents, candies, and stars, and you’re done! Green and yellow paints look lovely, but feel free to experiment with other colors too.
