[Paper-cutting] Snowman Santa

Papercut Art: Snowman Santa [Torn Paper Collage]

[Paper-cutting] Snowman Santa

A snowman Santa made with papercutting that captivates with the beauty of its silhouette and playful use of color.

Using a template, cut out the shape of the snowman Santa, then apply torn red paper for the hat and outfit to give it a Santa-like look.

The key is the contrast between the clean outline and the rough texture of the torn-paper collage, which creates a warm expression.

Adding the hat’s trim or a snowy background will enhance the wintry feel even more.

The mood changes with your color choices and the size of the torn pieces, making it perfect for a brain workout.

A winter craft idea that sparks creativity.

A photogenic snowman snow globe

A snowman with a snow globe look, featuring a base and dome made by cutting construction paper.

You can give the snowman a unique expression with crayons, and adding snow or stars in the background enhances the atmosphere.

Use double-sided tape to gently attach cotton for a fluffy effect, creating a three-dimensional feel as if the snowman is standing in the snow, making it even more festive.

The overall impression changes with the background color and the amount of cotton, allowing for flexible customization.

It’s easy for seniors to make and results in a highly satisfying wall decoration.

A perfect idea for capturing the feel of the winter season.

Let’s make a shaker snowman that you can use as an ornament for your tree.

For preparation, get two paper doilies and cut out the inside of one so it becomes just a frame.

Put sequins or any small parts you like into a clear bag, fold the corners, tape them down, and shape it into a circle.

Stack and glue them in this order: a full paper doily, the bag, and the doily frame.

Finish by adding a face, hat, scarf made from construction paper, and a string for hanging.

The paper doily part will be the snowman’s body.

Let’s make a paper-plate snow globe that looks beautiful when hung on a window and lit from behind.

First, cut out the inner part of a paper plate and attach a circular piece of laminate film.

Next, from the back, cover the entire opening with tissue paper cut into a circle, and seal the adhesive edge with OPP tape.

Finally, stick a construction-paper snowman onto the front of the laminate film, and you’re done.

In this idea, colorful tissue paper is used for a vibrant finish, but I think it would also look lovely unified in blue tones to evoke snow.

Snowman made with rings

Snowman Made from Rings: Christmas Ornament [Sakura-gaoka Sanatorium]

Snowman made with rings

A classic for birthday decorations! This is a snowman craft made with paper chains.

Make a loop by gluing a strip of construction paper into a ring, thread another strip through it, then glue it into another ring to create a chain.

Use colored paper for the top ring, as it will be the bucket hat.

The second ring is the face, and the ones below form the body—decorate them with stickers and ribbons.

Attach arms made from brown construction paper and a hanging ribbon to the head, and it’s complete.

Hang it on the wall or ceiling to bring a wintry vibe.

You can use this idea to make Santa Claus, too.

A big Christmas tree

A big Christmas tree

Let’s create a large Christmas tree on the wall—an iconic holiday decoration.

The process is to decorate triangular pieces in green and arrange them into a tree shape, intentionally leaving gaps so the overall form still reads as a tree while adding a sense of depth.

Once the tree shape is set, including the trunk pieces, it’s recommended to decorate the surrounding area to aim for an even more luxurious look.

If you incorporate reflective elements like gold tape to catch the light, the festive excitement of Christmas will stand out even more.

Christmas Decorations with Paper Ring Garlands

[Ring Garland Craft Idea] Christmas Decorations with Ring Garlands (December Wall Decorations) (Activities for Seniors, Day Service, Occupational Therapy, Childcare, Origami, DIY)

Christmas Decorations with Paper Ring Garlands

This is about making a chain garland by turning long, thin strips of paper into loops and linking them together, giving it a Christmas feel.

Imagine connecting large loops with thin loops, arranging it so that only one side of each large loop is visible.

The motifs to create include Santa Claus, reindeer, and snowmen.

Each motif is completed in two segments—one for the face and one for the body—and then connected together.

Since you’ll make several long garlands, it’s recommended to vary the positions of the motifs on each one to achieve a more luxurious look.
