Toilet paper Christmas wreath

Christmas wreath made with a toilet paper roll core #shorts

Cut the cardboard cores of toilet paper rolls into thin strips, shape them like leaves, and assemble them into a wreath.

In addition to painting the cores green, attaching translucent origami paper will enhance the leafy look, so that’s recommended too.

Incorporating various colors of origami and adding accents to the arrangement of the leaves will lead to a more beautiful wreath.

Finally, attach small decorations to complete it.

Since the overall color is green, adding red will further emphasize the Christmas atmosphere.

Toilet paper roll core ornament

Christmas Decorations Made from Toilet Paper Rolls [Ornaments] [Santa Figurines]

Let us introduce Christmas ornaments made using toilet paper rolls! The key point is that you can make them from recycled materials.

First, attach origami paper to the roll.

For decorations like Santa’s hat or a reindeer’s antlers, using construction paper makes them less likely to bend.

Since it involves delicate work, it’s also a good idea to cut and prepare the pieces in advance.

Apply patterned masking tape, draw the eyes, nose, and mouth with a pen, and you’re done! They look adorable when lined up.

Add a string and they’ll look lovely hanging on your tree, too.

Boots & stick candy

[Origami] Christmas Decorations with Hearts (1): Make Boots & Candy Canes with a Single Sheet — How to make origami boots and stick candy.

When you think of Christmas boots, you probably picture big boots stuffed with lots of fun treats.

If you’re thinking, “People in the West come up with such stylish ideas,” here’s a surprise: Christmas boots actually originated in Japan.

The story goes that a confectioner in Shiga Prefecture saw the stockings and boots hung on Christmas trees and thought, “If we make those bigger, fill them with sweets, and sell them…” and started selling them.

It’s a bit unexpected, isn’t it? How about folding a Christmas boot out of origami? There’s even a video that teaches you how to fold it.

Matching stick candy you can fold in the same color scheme is also recommended.

A snow globe lets you easily enjoy a magical scene like dancing snow.

Let’s make a simple snow globe using a plastic bottle! Prepare a paper cup and decorate it however you like—draw pictures, add stickers, or glue on paper cut into your favorite shapes.

Next, put small colorful felt balls and glittery sparkles into an empty plastic bottle, then fill it to the top with water.

Once both the paper cup and the bottle are ready, insert the bottle’s mouth into the paper cup, and you’re done! When you turn it upside down, the decorations inside swirl around, creating a beautiful display.

For a more floating, drifting effect, try mixing in liquid laundry starch or school glue along with the water.

The process involves fine motor actions like folding and cutting, which helps strengthen focus in the fingertips.

After that, simply glue the parts together and attach beads in the center to complete it.

Poinsettia wall decoration

[Christmas Decorations] Easy December Poinsettia Wall Decoration [Activities for Seniors] Poinsettia wall decoration

Poinsettias have the flower meanings of “Holy Night,” “Blessing,” and “Wishing for Good Fortune.” Because their shape resembles a star, they’re the perfect flower for Christmas.

This time, we’ll introduce a poinsettia decoration with this kind of charm! You can easily make it with origami.

First, fold the paper diagonally and cut it into the shape of a leaf.

Make two of these and paste them together slightly offset.

If you add lines to the leaves, you can create a rough, textured look.

Using red and yellow makes it look bright and festive, and is recommended.
