Here’s a cute Christmas tree idea where you stick crumpled tissue paper onto a cone base.

First, roll a piece of thick paper into a cone to make the base and cover the surface with double-sided tape.

Next, crumple green tissue paper and stick it on to fill the base.

Once the tree itself is done, decorate it with Christmas stickers as ornaments.

To evoke snow, loosely wrap white yarn around the whole tree, then add a star on top to finish.

Try using tissue paper in various colors to create a tree that reflects your own style.

Let me show you how to make a cute snowman ornament with just a few simple steps.

Fold the two bottom corners of a clear bag into triangles and tape them down, then stuff the bag with white cotton and seal the opening.

Fold the left and right corners of the sealed opening into triangles and tape them as well.

Next, twist two pipe cleaners together to make a scarf, wrap it around the middle to cinch the bag, and shape it into a snowman.

Use round stickers for the eyes and nose, draw the mouth with a pen, and finish by adding a paper hat.

Thread a string through the scarf, and you can hang it on your tree.

When you go to the 100-yen shop, you’re sometimes surprised to find they even sell things like this.

They offer all kinds of products, and craft and DIY supplies are well stocked too.

You can make a lovely wreath using only 100-yen items, so why not give it a try? Attach cotton bolls and pinecones to a wreath base with a hot glue gun.

A hot glue gun dries faster than wood glue.

However, it gets very hot, so please be careful when used by older adults.

A Christmas with a wreath they made themselves is likely to give older adults a real sense of satisfaction.

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.

Would you like to try making a handmade, tree-shaped Christmas lamp? Light will shine through star- and circle-shaped holes, making it look as if the tree itself is glowing—a lovely idea.

First, draw a net for a square pyramid on construction paper and cut it out, then use a craft punch to make holes in the four side panels.

Imagine you’re placing ornaments and punch the holes in a well-balanced way.

In the center of the square base, make another hole large enough for the tip of the lamp to pass through.

Assemble the construction paper into a tree and decorate the top with a ribbon and a star.

Decorate the sides of an LED lamp, place the tree over it, and you’re done.

Enjoy it in a dark room.

Santa made of felt

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!
