[Childcare] December Wall Decoration Ideas! Ornaments to Color Christmas and Winter (111–120)
Christmas hanging ornaments
Seeing rounded, three-dimensional Christmas ornaments gives you a warm feeling, doesn’t it? In this hanging decoration project, we’ll make stars, holly, Santa hats, bells, and more.
You’ll glue together halves of origami paper to form each piece, and the key is to fold them in a way that creates a three-dimensional shape.
No matter which shape you’re making, it’s important to sketch the outline first so you can picture how it will look once cut.
Finally, attach each part to a string and arrange them on the wall in a triangular shape—like a Christmas tree—which is a lovely way to display them.

Presents decorated on the Christmas tree
Would you like to make an easy and cute Christmas tree wall decoration to brighten up the holiday season? Create a big tree out of colored construction paper for a large wall.
Then stick on paper present boxes and decorate it.
Use colorful construction paper or origami to make presents that open.
When you open a box, inside you’ll find adorable drawings of animals, toys, or favorite characters.
It’s a fun pop-up style decoration.
Let’s liven up the room with a wall display that enhances the excitement of Christmas.
Christmas tree mobile
This is a Christmas tree mobile made with green and gold construction paper.
Download a free template from the internet and use it to cut out the Christmas trees and the star for the top.
Crease the paper first, then fold it and make two pieces each for the trees and the star.
Stick each pair together with double-sided tape to create a 3D shape.
Punch a hole in each piece and tie them with string, and you’re done.
It instantly adds a festive Christmas feel—give it a try!
Christmas bell
If you want a three-dimensional decoration to create a festive Christmas atmosphere, these Christmas bells are a great choice.
Among the ideas introduced here, this one takes the most time, but the result is truly three-dimensional, giving it outstanding impact and ambiance.
Also, this decoration uses gold paper.
Since store-bought origami sets that include multiple colors often contain only about one sheet of gold paper, it’s a good idea to purchase gold-only origami.
Although it takes some effort, it makes the wall look spectacular—so give it a try.
Christmas wreath
This is a cute Christmas wreath you can make with origami.
Let’s craft the wreath base, Santa Claus, a stocking, presents, a ribbon, a candy cane, and other perfect Christmas items out of paper.
The steps are suitable for older preschoolers and kindergarteners, so why not have each child make one to brighten up the wall display? Aside from the origami used for Santa Claus, it’s fun to choose any colors you like to add a personal touch.
It might be hard to finish in a single day, so work on it little by little each day and complete a wonderful wreath.
Tree and snowflakes
If you want to add a festive touch to your walls, we recommend this tree and snowflake design.
This idea is made by layering multiple sheets of origami, cutting them into a tree shape, and sticking them on.
Because different parts of the origami are visible depending on the angle, a single decoration offers many appealing looks—that’s one of its charms.
As shown in the video, adding small items as accents will make it even more vibrant, so be sure to give it a try.
Make it with a stapler! 6 types of paper Christmas decorations
Let’s make perfect Christmas ornaments using paper strips and a stapler! Prepare paper strips 2 cm wide, then accordion-fold them while gradually increasing the segment lengths to 3, 5, and 7 cm.
Overlap the folded corners and staple them together; make a second identical piece and glue them together to form the tree’s foliage.
Use brown and yellow strips to create the trunk and the star on top.
You can also make angels, stars, poinsettias, and more! How about using them as Christmas tree decorations or as ornaments to attach to gifts?
