Christmas tree with holly and bells

This is an idea for creating a wall tree by decorating it with holly leaves and bells in different sizes and colors.

For the holly, make green leaves from origami paper and red leaves from tissue paper.

You can download a template for the green leaves, so be sure to use it.

For the red leaves, stack three rectangular sheets of tissue paper, accordion-fold them, staple the center, then open each layer to form a flower-like shape.

For the bells, cut yellow origami paper into a half-circle and roll it into a cone shape—that’s it.

Combine them however you like to complete a colorful wall tree.

Christmas just isn’t complete without presents! So, here’s how to make a Christmas gift-shaped charm.

First, prepare some craft paper and design your favorite motif.

You can draw it with a pen, or use origami paper, colored paper, yarn, and other materials to give it a three-dimensional finish.

Next, put cotton and beads into a small transparent bag to create a snowy effect, then place your designed craft paper inside, seal the bag, and fold the top two corners to the back, securing them with tape.

Glue the bag onto a piece of felt that will serve as the base of the charm, and shape the felt into a gift shape.

Finally, tie a ribbon, and your charm is complete.

Here’s a handmade idea for a cone-shaped Santa Claus.

First, cut a piece of cardstock into a semicircle and roll it into a cone.

Cover it with felt in your favorite color, then glue a long, thin strip of white felt slightly above the center to represent the hat.

Cut out the face base and clothing pieces from felt and attach them as well.

For the beard, use yarn and a pen, creating it with a method similar to casting on stitches in knitting.

Once you’ve glued the beard around the face base, add eyes using rhinestones painted black and attach a larger bead for the nose.

Finally, add a star-shaped accent to the chest, and you’re done.

Wall-mounted Christmas tree made from paper rolls

Let’s use toilet paper rolls to create a wall-mounted Christmas tree.

First, keeping the triangular shape of a tree in mind, lay out the rolls temporarily in rows to form tiers.

If a roll is too short or too long, cut it to size.

Once you have the triangle, glue the rolls together row by row, and attach green construction paper to the sides.

After everything is attached, secure the whole piece with tape or similar.

For the trunk, connect about three rolls and wrap them with brown yarn.

Fix the triangular section and the trunk to the wall so they connect, and finish by placing a star at the top of the tree.

Adding origami ornaments will make it look even more charming!

Poinsettia Origami Tree

Poinsettia Origami Tree

Poinsettias are known as Christmas flowers.

In this idea, we’ll make a wall tree using origami poinsettias.

After folding the origami paper into a triangle three times, open it back up to the state of having been folded twice.

Starting from the outside toward the center, make cuts along the creases.

To round off the corners created by the cuts, trim in a curved line from both corners of the triangle toward the center to shape leaves.

When you open the paper, you’ll have four leaves; stack two of these to make a set of five leaves.

Finish by placing a yellow round sticker in the center to complete the poinsettia.

Make several and arrange them on the wall in the shape of a tree.

Christmas tree made with ribbons

Christmas tree made with ribbons

This is a handmade tree idea that’s completed simply by sticking teardrop-shaped ribbon pieces onto a cone base made from thick paper.

To make the teardrop-shaped parts, cut ribbon to a suitable length and glue the two ends together.

When attaching the ribbon to the base, face the rounded end downward and stick them in a straight line.

If it’s hard to keep them straight, draw guide lines on the base beforehand to help with placement.

Once all the ribbons are attached, decorate the top with a star to finish! Adding small beads for extra sparkle would also look cute.

Christmas boots made from paper cartons

Here’s an idea for Christmas boots that are perfect for decorations.

You’ll need two small paper cartons, red and white felt, any origami paper you like, and white cotton balls.

The base of the boot is made by combining the two paper cartons.

Use the first carton to form the vertical part of the boot and the second carton to form the rounded toe.

Before assembling, decorate the inside of the first carton with the origami paper.

Once you’ve combined the cartons into a boot shape, attach the red and white felt to the outside, then finish by decorating with the cotton balls.
