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!

Wall-mounted Christmas tree

[100-Yen DIY] A Parent-Child Project: Wall-Mounted Christmas Tree

This is a charming wall-mounted Christmas tree made from three-dimensional tree shapes.

First, make the trees.

Use a compass to draw circles on green construction paper and cut them out.

Cut each circle in half, overlap the edges slightly, and glue them to form cones.

Next, make the star.

Fold yellow or gold origami paper into triangles and combine them to create a star shape.

Stick the trees onto the wall, place a star at the top, and attach any decorations you like with glue or double-sided tape—that’s it.

It’s lovely how many small trees come together to form one big tree.

ball ornament

How to Make “Ball Ornaments”! Cute and Easy Decorations with Felt [Felt Crafts: Small Items & Christmas Decorations] | DIY Felt Ball Ornaments Tutorial

Here’s an introduction to making a cute spherical ornament out of felt.

First, create a circular template and use it to cut out circles from felt.

Cut five pieces each in two colors, such as red and green, then cut them in half and glue them together with a hot glue gun.

Be careful not to burn yourself, as the glue gun gets very hot.

After making two half-spheres, attach a bell with a thread to the bottom, and a ribbon with a pearl bead to the top.

That’s it! Simply by changing the colors, you can create ornaments with either a Western or Japanese feel—aren’t they lovely?

[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.

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.
