Then add round stickers, and attach the reindeer, Santa Claus, ribbon, and other decorations with double-sided tape.
It’s finished!
Christmas tree made with origami
Here’s a fun origami Christmas tree wall decoration idea! You’ll need green, light green, yellow, and red origami paper, glue, round stickers, and construction paper.
First, fold the green and light green origami paper in half twice, then cut along the creases.
Apply glue to the edges of the cut pieces and attach them together; make 12 of these.
Make 2 using red origami paper as well.
On a sheet of colored construction paper, arrange and glue the green and light green pieces side by side to form a tree shape.
Finally, add the 2 red pieces and glue on a star cut from yellow origami paper.
Finish by decorating the tree with round stickers!
Christmas tree made from a toilet paper roll
Introducing a Christmas tree craft made from toilet paper rolls! You’ll need toilet paper roll cores, colored construction paper, wood glue, ribbon, and decorations.
First, cut 15 pieces of toilet paper roll into 3 cm rings, and punch a hole in just one of them.
Then, glue the rings together with wood glue to form a tree shape.
Once the tree shape is complete, cut colored construction paper to fit it.
Cut the paper into 3 cm-wide strips and wrap them around the tree with wood glue.
After wrapping, glue the paper in place.
Next, take four 3 cm rings of toilet paper roll and glue them together into a square.
Cut brown construction paper to match and glue it on with wood glue to make the trunk.
Glue the tree and trunk together, decorate the inside of the tree, and you’re done!

Ornaments made from plastic cup lids
Why not use plastic cup lids to make Christmas ornaments? Enjoy creating dreamy ornaments with kids using everyday materials! First, make snowflakes from quarter-size origami and stick them to the back of the plastic cup lid.
Next, cut transparent origami into circles and attach those to the back as well.
Finally, decorate the edges with your favorite roll stickers and add a ribbon to finish! For five-year-olds, you can let them try making the snowflakes.
Since the materials are translucent, we recommend displaying them where the light shines through!
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!
Rabbit Christmas
When you think of winter animals, rabbits come to mind, right? A white rabbit dashing across white snow is just so cute.
Let’s make a wall decoration featuring an anthropomorphized rabbit blending into a December scene! Dress the rabbit in wintry items like a scarf, gloves, or a down jacket.
Of course you can add snowflakes and Christmas trees, and maybe even Santa flying across the sky.
If you make the snow on the ground out of cotton, it adds a nice three-dimensional effect! Give it a try.
Christmas garland
Garlands in Christmas colors like red and green make wonderfully festive decorations that capture the holiday atmosphere.
They’re easy to make at home using familiar materials such as raffia tape and mirror tape, making them an accessible project.
Cutting slits into the tape gives the ornaments a sense of volume and airiness; however, since scissors are required, please provide adult support based on the children’s ages.
Simple yet vivid, this transparent and sparkling wall decoration heightens the excitement for the event.
