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.

The process is to leave only the bottom part intact, cut open the rest, then layer a tree-shaped piece of construction paper on top and cut along the shape.

It’s also important to firmly layer and glue the construction paper to neatly hide the milk carton parts.

Pay attention to the decorations as well, and create a tree that reflects your own style.

Christmas tree made with construction paper

[Construction paper Christmas tree] Sakura's Craft Room 46. Super fun! A tree made with colored construction paper and paper cups! First Christmas craft project. Christmas tree

Let’s make an adorable palm-sized “Christmas tree” using construction paper and a paper cup! Represent the fir tree’s fluffy needles with small, strip-shaped pieces of green and white construction paper.

To make it easier for older adults to participate, consider preparing the strips in advance and making other small adjustments.

You can enjoy decorating it with craft “pom-poms,” ribbons, and other embellishments available at 100-yen shops and similar stores.

Since the project uses lots of fine finger movements and requires thinking through the steps, it can also help stimulate the brain during the creative process.

You’ll make a sturdy trunk from thick paperboard, but a toilet paper roll can be used as a substitute.

If you do substitute, make sure it fits into the paper cup “flowerpot” that serves as the tree’s base.

Christmas tree made with tissue paper

Kimie Gangi tissue paper decorated with balls, cute bumpy Christmas tree #DecemberWallDecor #ChristmasDecorations #Handmade #DIY

If you want to create a fluffy, textured look for a Christmas tree, using tissue paper is recommended! Prepare a triangular base, then randomly paste small pieces of green tissue paper onto it.

Rather than neatly aligning them with the edges, it’s better to let some pieces stick out and place them irregularly.

Once the tree’s foliage is done, it’s time to decorate! Try rolling and compressing tissue paper in various colors into ball shapes and stick them on as ornaments.

You can use the crumpled pieces as they are, or add glitter—either works! Combine them with ribbons and other decorations to create your own original tree.

The process is very simple and offers lots of freedom, so it’s easy for older adults to enjoy as well.

Paper quilling Christmas tree

[Craft Play] Let's make a Christmas tree with paper quilling

For December wall decorations, many people often display a Christmas tree, don’t they? You can actually make a Christmas tree quite easily using construction paper! What you’ll need: toothpicks, colored construction paper, a craft knife, scissors, and glue.

For the base, cut the construction paper and shape it into a cone.

For the leaves, simply roll strips of paper around the toothpicks; this makes cute, spiral leaves with ease.

Once you glue the leaves onto the base, finish by attaching a paper-quilling star on top—and you’re done! The fine finger movements involved also give your brain a fun little workout, since they use parts you don’t normally engage.

Because a craft knife is used in one step, please have staff assist with the more difficult parts.

Christmas tree made with triangle garlands

Christmas tree wall decoration: introducing a simple origami method anyone can make! Why not try making it as a winter decoration for December? [Tsukuru Mon]

This is a wall decoration featuring a large Christmas tree made using multiple sheets of origami.

You create a series of connected triangles, like a triangular garland, and layer them to form the tree’s foliage.

By overlapping them at various angles—such as diagonally—you can give the tree a sense of depth.

Then simply attach the trunk and decorations on top of the foliage to finish.

Because it’s a large wall piece, it would be fun to make it cooperatively or to come up with unique decorations.

Since it mainly involves detailed steps using scissors, it’s also easy to incorporate as a fine motor activity.

A Christmas tree made just by folding, cutting, and pasting origami

Easy! How to make a wall decoration of a Christmas tree! Why not try making it with origami as the material for December events? [Tsukuru-mon]

For those who aren’t good at detailed handiwork, a Christmas tree you can make just by folding, cutting, and pasting is perfect.

As the name suggests, you simply repeat these three steps.

Specifically, you stick leaves made from origami directly onto the wall and build them up into the shape of a tree.

Since it’s large, why not use it as the main decoration in your room? Another advantage is that it uses a wide area, making it easy for multiple people to work on together.

Because the wall shows through between the leaves, it looks best on plain, patternless wallpaper.
