Christmas tree

Sky-blue tissue paper Christmas tree – Paper Christmas Tree

How about making a fluffy, stylish Christmas tree using tissue paper? First, cut tissue paper in your favorite color into a rectangular piece about one-quarter the original size, then fold it in half lengthwise to make it long and narrow.

Make lots of slits along the folded edge.

After cutting the slits, open it up once, fold it back in the opposite direction of the original crease, and glue it in place.

Make several of these, then take a cone-shaped tree base made from construction paper and wrap and glue the tissue paper around it in tiers.

Finally, decorate with beads and stickers, and you’re done.

You’ll end up with a very whimsical, cute tree, so give it a try!

100-yen shop snowman and reindeer

[Easy Christmas Decoration] How to Make a Snowman with a Reindeer on Top - Winter Craft Project, 100-Yen Shop DIY, Activity for Seniors | How to Make a Felt Christmas Ornament

It’s an adorable mascot where a reindeer is peeking out from behind a snowman.

Attach evenly spaced strips of paper, cut into long, thin pieces, around the base of a plastic cup to form the snowman’s round shape.

Then stack two circles and add facial features and other parts to complete the snowman.

The reindeer is a simple design made by cutting and layering parts from construction paper; use the layered paper to create a three-dimensional feel.

Leaving small gaps in the snowman is also an important point—the way light passes through conveys a soft, gentle look.

Honeycomb ball with two sheets of origami paper

Seria: Easy honeycomb ball made with two sheets of origami – how to make it

This is a honeycomb ball with a cute round silhouette, perfect as an ornament.

First, fold a sheet of origami paper into four equal squares, then use a paper cup or a compass to draw a circle and cut it out.

Do the same with another sheet of origami to make eight circles in total.

Fold each circle in half and apply a small amount of glue near the center.

Then add a little glue to the top and bottom of each half circle, and attach all eight folded pieces together.

Adhere your preferred thread along the crease, let it dry, then open it up and glue the outer surfaces together.

Try using not only colored origami paper but also various patterned ones for fun.

Fluffy tissue-paper poinsettia wall decoration

Kimie Gangi December wall decoration: “Fluffy Poinsettia” — A hearty poinsettia decoration

Let’s softly craft a poinsettia—an essential for Christmas—using tissue paper.

Fold the tissue paper in an accordion (screen-fold) style, then fold it in half, secure the center, cut it, and gently open it while adding creases to shape the leaves.

Make these pieces with both red and green tissue paper, layer and glue them together, and place yellow in the center to finish.

The angle of each leaf is also important; because they spread softly in various directions, the piece gains a strong three-dimensional presence.

It would look beautiful not only as a wall decoration but also as a tabletop ornament.

Cute Santa and an origami Christmas tree

How to make a cute Santa with a fluffy paper beard and an origami Christmas tree / How to make a cute Santa Claus and Christmas tree with paper

Just by putting a little decoration in your room, you can instantly get into the Christmas spirit with these “cute Santa and origami Christmas trees.” The charm of this craft is that you can make it with familiar materials like colored construction paper, origami paper, and toilet paper rolls! For both crafts, the main steps involve cutting and pasting colored paper or origami.

A key point is using toilet paper for Santa’s hat and outfit’s white trim, as well as his beard! For the beard in particular, the toilet paper is torn by hand to give it a fluffy finish.

If you’re incorporating this into a day-service craft activity, it might go smoothly if you assign roles and have everyone divide up the tasks.
