Swaying Snowman Wreath

[Christmas Craft] Easy with a paper plate! A cute Christmas wreath with a wobbly, rocking snowman

Let’s make a wreath you can enjoy displaying not only at Christmas but throughout the winter.

The main motif is a snowman, so the key is to keep the edges rounded and make everything as circular as possible! You’ll need a paper plate, colored construction paper, masking tape, jute twine, fishing line (monofilament), paints, oil-based colored pens, a snowflake-shaped craft punch, double-sided tape, a utility knife, and scissors.

Instead of finishing it in a single day, aim to complete it over two to three days—you’ll be able to take your time and focus on the details.

Give it a try!

Snowman made with rings

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

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.

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)

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.

Easy Christmas wreath with tissue paper

Crafting with tissue paper doesn’t require much strength, so it might be easy for older adults to make as well.

Crumple the tissue paper in your hand and stick it onto a wreath made from a paper plate with the center cut out.

It’s also recommended to make gifts, canes, or candles out of construction paper.

You can enjoy decorating by placing the ornaments wherever you like.

Of course, green tissue paper works nicely, but using red or white can create a chic-looking wreath.

Take it home and display it to bring the Christmas spirit into your own room.

Tree with stamps

Let’s use a crumpled piece of paper as a stamp to create a tree.

First, on a black construction paper base, glue on a flowerpot and a tree trunk made from brown-toned construction paper.

On top of that, place a stencil with the inside cut out in the shape of a tree, and stamp with the paint-covered paper.

Use greens with different depths of color and some white paint.

Once you finish stamping, remove the stencil and attach a star made of construction paper to the top of the tree.

Decorate the tree with Christmas stickers as ornaments, and you’re done.

Feel free to embellish any open areas on the base as you like.

♬ Christmas standard song – 3KTrack

Here’s an idea you can use when you’re short on time but want to make your wall look cute.

All you need are printed papers with Christmas illustrations and raffia ribbon.

Prepare a variety of illustrations.

After cutting out each illustration with scissors, attach them to raffia ribbons cut to match the length of your wall.

Using two colors—red and green—will give it an even more Christmassy feel.

Once all the illustrations are attached, stick the raffia ribbons to the wall, alternating red and green.

It’s an easy idea that creates a very festive, eye-catching wall display.
