Santa Claus on a sleigh
It’s a seasonal wall display that makes you want to reach out and touch the fluffy beard! By using cotton as well as construction paper, you can create a nice three-dimensional effect, so it’s highly recommended.
If you add stars of various sizes using holographic origami paper, it will look as if the sleigh is flying across the sky! You can also customize the number of Santas and the reindeer’s outfits, so it could be fun to make it while discussing ideas with the kids.
It’s a wonderful idea that excites you just by looking at the wall.
A tree made by threading yarn through it
Why not try making a cozy Christmas tree using yarn? It’s a great craft idea to do with kids.
Punch holes in construction paper with a hole punch, then have the children thread yarn through to create a tree.
The yarn can go straight or diagonally—anything goes! Using multiple yarn colors instead of just one gives it a stylish finish.
For the final touch, decorate with colorful craft pom-poms or stick star-shaped stickers in the empty spaces for a lovely look.
poinsettia
This is an origami poinsettia decoration with beautifully detailed creases and layered petals.
Cut small sheets of origami paper in half diagonally to make triangles, then accordion-fold each piece finely.
Fold the accordion-folded piece in half and glue it together to form a petal.
Make five of these parts, glue them together, and attach a gold bead in the center to complete the poinsettia.
You can of course use the classic green and red, but arranging them in other combinations—like pink and white or white and light blue—also looks adorable.
Christmas tree and ornaments
A tree wall decoration that evokes the image of Christmas at a glance can help build excitement for the event.
Since it can be made using colored construction paper or origami paper, it’s fun to make together with children.
Because you need to make cuts with scissors to create the tree’s texture, please adjust the tasks based on the children’s usual abilities.
If you also make colorful ornaments, it will become a wall decoration that brightens up Christmas, so give it a try.
Socks with various patterns
Here are some ideas that children can enjoy making with excitement as Christmas approaches! Let’s create a variety of patterned stockings that are perfect for wall decorations.
Cut construction paper into the shape of a stocking, and let the children draw patterns on the stockings or have fun decorating them with vinyl tape, washi tape, and cotton.
Using the children’s photos would be wonderful, too! Decorating for Christmas together with the children will make them 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, fun 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, or stockings will make it even more festive.
If you have the children try the origami, their unique creations will turn into delightful pieces that are fun just to look at.
Stained-glass-style tree made with aluminum foil
Even stained glass, which might seem difficult, is something kids can easily try using aluminum foil! Here’s a shiny and beautiful stained-glass-style tree.
First, crumple aluminum foil to create a wrinkled texture, place it inside a clear file, and cut it into a triangle.
Put masking tape around the file and add your favorite stickers to finish! You can also draw stained-glass-style outlines on the clear file with a black permanent marker, color them in, and place aluminum foil behind it to create a piece with a different vibe.
Feel free to adapt the project based on the children’s ages, interests, and attention spans!
