[Childcare] December Wall Decoration Ideas: Festive Crafts for Christmas and Winter

Easy paper-plate Christmas tree

Preschool Craft: Easy Christmas Tree Made from Paper Plates | Christmas tree made with paper plates

First, fold a paper plate and cut along the crease to divide it into four equal parts.

Tear green origami paper into small pieces, as you would for a collage, and paste them on to represent the leaves of a Christmas tree.

If you layer and attach the paper plate pieces with double-sided tape, you’ll create bumps and add a three-dimensional effect.

Stick on stickers in your favorite colors to light up the tree, then add a star ornament at the top.

Finally, make a trunk with orange origami paper and attach it, and your Christmas tree is complete.

It’s a Christmas craft that uses simple materials but can be made festive with a bit of creativity.

No-sew Felt Disney Ornaments

[Christmas] No-sew! Handmade Disney-style Christmas ornaments with felt / 100-yen shop DIY / felt / Christmas / Xmas

The charm of these no-sew Disney ornaments is that they look cute no matter what colors you use.

Get felt, scissors, glue, and ribbon ready, and let’s make one.

Cut eight circles out of felt, then glue the outer center edges of the felt pieces together.

Take the pairs you’ve glued into halves and attach them with glue so they form a sphere.

Finally, glue on the ears and add a decorative ribbon at the center—then it’s done.

Adding some large sparkly beads as accents could be adorable, too.

Cinderella Castle made with colored construction paper

[Wall display] [Complete] We made Cinderella Castle out of colored construction paper!

Its nighttime appearance illuminated with lights—especially Cinderella Castle—shines beautifully, doesn’t it? Once you’ve prepared the photo or illustration of the Cinderella Castle you want to make, place it over construction paper and trace the outlines with a pencil to transfer the shapes onto the paper.

Since Cinderella Castle has many intricate parts, it’s best to break it down: trace the shapes, cut them out, and assemble them piece by piece.

After each part is finished, glue the parts together to build a large Cinderella Castle.

If you use navy or purple poster paper as the background, you’ll create a stunning nighttime Cinderella Castle that glows.

Cute Minnie Santa origami

[Origami] How to make a Santa Claus with one sheet | Santa Claus instructions (using only 1 sheet)

Let’s make a Minnie Santa with origami! It’s cute to stick on the wall as is, and it would also look great combined with other Christmas-themed origami pieces to create a garland or hanging decoration.

First, use one sheet of origami paper to make the face, body, and hat.

Then use several other sheets to make the ears, bow, and scarf.

Since there are parts that require cutting, prepare scissors, a pen for drawing the face, and glue for assembly.

There aren’t any complicated steps, but because you’ll be putting several pieces together, fold each part carefully, one by one.

3D Santa Claus made with colored construction paper

Christmas season wall decoration: 'Cute Santa Claus made with colored construction paper'

A cute, plump, three-dimensional Santa Claus made from construction paper.

Get your construction paper, scissors, and glue ready and let’s get started.

First, make Santa’s face by cutting and gluing the parts—eyes, mustache/beard, and mouth—out of construction paper.

When making the hat, glue it into a tube shape to create the hat, leaving some hollow space inside the back; that’s the key point.

For the body, roll a sheet of construction paper and glue it so that the tip is inserted into the back side of the hat.

Attach the arms, legs, and boots, then cut slits into white construction paper to make Santa’s sack, and you’re done.

It might also be fun to create your own original Santa by changing the direction of the parts, the facial expression, and the colors of the paper.

[Origami] Snowman

Origami: Snowman with a hat and scarf from a single sheet [Origami] Snowman with hat and scarf (using only one sheet)

This origami snowman is perfect for December, when it’s also the season of snow.

A snowman is made by placing one snowball on top of another, right? With a clever folding method, you can express the two stacked snowballs using just a single sheet of origami paper.

You can also make a scarf around the snowman’s neck.

If you use polka-dot or patterned paper, the pattern becomes the scarf, making it extra cute.

You can draw the eyes and mouth yourself, so each snowman has its own personality.

You can stick them on a wreath or a calendar, so try arranging them in different ways to expand the range of your creations.

A Christmas present you can make with just one sheet!

Let me show you how to make a present box with a ribbon.

Place the colored side of the origami paper facing up and fold it in half horizontally to make a crease in the center.

Open it, then fold the top and bottom edges inward by about 1 cm.

Turn the paper over and fold the top and bottom edges to meet the center crease.

Rotate the paper vertically, then turn it over again and fold down the top edge by about 2 cm.

Open and squash the white section in the center of the folded part to form the ribbon, then fold up the bottom edge and tuck it under the ribbon.

Your present box is complete!
