Stained-glass-style Christmas tree
This is a stained-glass-style Christmas tree, perfect for decorating your walls for the holidays.
It’s arranged so that children can easily make their own “stained glass.” Using familiar materials, you can create it casually—why not give it a try? First, cut black construction paper into star, circle, and Christmas tree shapes to make the stained glass frames.
Sandwich these parts between laminating sheets to process them, then color them with permanent markers.
Finally, attach crinkled aluminum foil to the back, and it’s done! Since laminating machines become very hot, make sure an adult handles that step.
Have fun working on it while using your imagination to decide which colors to use!
Garland for a tree
People who don’t usually do handmade crafts might feel it’s a bit intimidating, but this tree garland is a perfect item to brighten up your Christmas wall decor.
Its shape looks intricate and may seem difficult, but in essence, you’re just alternating ribbon and beads, folding them and threading them onto a stick—so even those who aren’t very dexterous can make it easily.
Once you’ve made the holes, it’s simple enough that even young children can do it, so give it a try!
A tree with cute pom-poms
When you don’t have space to put up a Christmas tree, a handy option is a DIY pom-pom tree.
Its structure is very simple: first, make a cone out of origami paper, then attach yarn pom-poms to it.
After that, stick the cones to the wall in a pyramid shape, and you’re done.
It’s very easy, and you can create a giant Christmas tree just by increasing the number of cones.
You can also hang ornaments on the wall if you like, which makes it look as if they’re hanging from the tree.
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.
Giant Christmas Tree
When it comes to Christmas, a Christmas tree is essential, right? Here, we’ll show you how to make a giant Christmas tree that’s perfect for the holiday! You’ll need colored construction paper, a stapler, tape, and so on.
To make it, bring the corners of a sheet of construction paper together and staple them.
Make as many of these as you need for the size of tree you want.
It seems you can make a tree about 170 cm tall with 21 pieces.
Attach the pieces to the wall with tape, then make a trunk and a star from colored paper and decorate the tree—done! Enjoy creating trees in whatever size suits your needs and decorating them in various ways.

Handprint Christmas wreath
With a handprint Christmas wreath, even small children can take the lead and enjoy the activity.
It’s easy to make: first, have them press their handprints onto construction paper, then draw a face and a sack on them to turn the prints into Santa Claus.
Finally, cut out the handprint Santas and attach them to the wreath to finish.
An adult may want to help with just the final step.
Also, be careful because small children might lick their paint-covered hands.
In addition, please take proper measures to protect the room from getting messy.
Santa with a handprint beard and a sticker-decorated tree
Let’s make a craft that turns children’s cute handprints into Santa’s beard.
First, prepare an oval sheet of construction paper for Santa’s face and an origami paper folded into a triangle.
The origami will be Santa’s body, so patterned paper is recommended.
Next, use white paint to make the children’s handprints on the construction paper.
Once the paint is dry, the teacher should cut out the handprints with scissors.
Then, glue the Santa parts together with the children.
You can also pre-cut construction paper into a tree shape and let the children enjoy decorating it with stickers—this will complete a Christmas-themed craft.
