Why are fir trees used for Christmas trees? It varies by country, but in Germany it’s believed that little spirits dwell in fir trees, and that decorating them with food and presents brings good luck.

In Japan, do many places substitute cedar trees? Let’s try folding a Christmas tree with origami and make a calendar that features it.

The folding method is surprisingly simple, so please share it with everyone.

You can also use pipe cleaners or beads to decorate the tree!

[Christmas Origami] Easy! Cute Santa, Reindeer, Tree, and Snowman Folding Instructions / Christmas Decorations Ornaments – Origami Christmas Ornament

These days, supermarkets and convenience stores start putting up Christmas decorations even before December.

It’s exciting how the year-end mood suddenly ramps up, but there’s also something a bit lonely about the year coming to a close.

How about you all? I think a calendar featuring all the Christmas characters—Santa, reindeer, snowmen—would be a lot of fun.

You can make them all, including the Christmas tree, by arranging triangles.

If there’s a chance to make it together, you could even divide up the tasks—like having Yamada-san make the reindeer.

Sky-blue tissue paper Christmas tree – Paper Christmas Tree

How about making a fluffy, stylish Christmas tree using tissue paper? First, cut tissue paper in your favorite color into a rectangular piece about one-quarter the original size, then fold it in half lengthwise to make it long and narrow.

Make lots of slits along the folded edge.

After cutting the slits, open it up once, fold it back in the opposite direction of the original crease, and glue it in place.

Make several of these, then take a cone-shaped tree base made from construction paper and wrap and glue the tissue paper around it in tiers.

Finally, decorate with beads and stickers, and you’re done.

You’ll end up with a very whimsical, cute tree, so give it a try!

Fluffy tissue-paper poinsettia wall decoration

Kimie Gangi December wall decoration: “Fluffy Poinsettia” — A hearty poinsettia decoration

Let’s softly craft a poinsettia—an essential for Christmas—using tissue paper.

Fold the tissue paper in an accordion (screen-fold) style, then fold it in half, secure the center, cut it, and gently open it while adding creases to shape the leaves.

Make these pieces with both red and green tissue paper, layer and glue them together, and place yellow in the center to finish.

The angle of each leaf is also important; because they spread softly in various directions, the piece gains a strong three-dimensional presence.

It would look beautiful not only as a wall decoration but also as a tabletop ornament.

Just by putting a little decoration in your room, you can instantly get into the Christmas spirit with these “cute Santa and origami Christmas trees.” The charm of this craft is that you can make it with familiar materials like colored construction paper, origami paper, and toilet paper rolls! For both crafts, the main steps involve cutting and pasting colored paper or origami.

A key point is using toilet paper for Santa’s hat and outfit’s white trim, as well as his beard! For the beard in particular, the toilet paper is torn by hand to give it a fluffy finish.

How to Make a Milk Carton “Christmas Tree-Shaped Accessory Case” [Easy Christmas Craft]

This is a small accessory holder that uses a milk carton and is themed like a Christmas tree.

By cutting open the milk carton to create the base and the tree trunk, the whole piece has a unified look.
