Christmas bell made of felt

(Felt fabric) Christmas decorations: Easy and cute! How to make a bell ornament [DIY] (Felt fabric) Christmas decorations — easy! pretty! Bell 🔔
Christmas bell made of felt

This decoration features a bell motif with a soft, felted look that makes a strong impression.

There’s a hole inside the bell where a small jingle bell sits, letting you enjoy the sound as well—that’s the key point! Sandwich the thread attached to the jingle bell between two bell-shaped pieces of felt and glue them together.

Then decorate the bell with a ribbon and layer thinly cut strips of felt at the bottom to add dimension, and you’re done.

Match the colors of the jingle bell and the felt bell for a cohesive look, or use contrasting colors to make the jingle bell stand out—trying different color combinations is highly recommended.

Yarn Swirl Christmas Tree

Here’s a heartwarming craft that’s perfect for chilly December days: a Christmas tree made by wrapping yarn around a triangle cut from cardboard or thick paper.

Even though the steps are simple, you can create a lovely Christmas tree.

Some older adults may have experience knitting gloves or sweaters with yarn—making this piece might bring back memories of their past yarn projects.

After wrapping the yarn around the cardboard, we also recommend decorating it with ribbons, stars, or pearls to your liking.

Three-dimensional wall-mounted Christmas tree

Here are some ideas for a three-dimensional wall-mounted Christmas tree that you can also enjoy decorating.

First, prepare green origami paper and double-sided colored origami paper.

Stack these two sheets, fold them in half, and cut along a Christmas tree template you prepared separately.

This will create a shape that looks like a Christmas tree cut in half.

Attach the flat side to the wall and display it.

You can also decorate the tree as you like.

By the way, templates are available for download online.

Snowman Wreath

In the past, when it snowed, it seems many children played by making kamakura snow huts and snowmen.

You don’t see that as much these days.

Still, I imagine many older people also have memories of playing like that when they were children.

This time, let’s make a snowman wreath, which is even a seasonal word for winter.

We’ll create the wreath by inserting craft wire into decorative craft balls.

In the center of the wreath, we’ll hang a snowman made from decorative balls using a needle and thread.

It will also look lovely if you decorate the wreath with pearls or ribbons.

How to Make a Snowman Paper Fan – Perfect for Christmas Wall Decorations!
Snowman

This is a Christmas snowman decoration made from colored construction paper.

You can get all the materials at a 100-yen shop, so give it a try.

Prepare white construction paper for the base snowman.

Use this white paper to make a paper fan.

Then use colored construction paper to create the parts such as the snowman’s face, hat, and scarf.

A paper fan is a crafting technique where you fold the paper in an accordion pattern, tie the center with a rubber band or thread, then spread the paper out from that center to form a circle.

Use the three-dimensional paper fan as the snowman’s body, and decorate it with the face and hat.

Christmas tree made with poinsettias

Why not try making a “Poinsettia Tree,” using poinsettias—also known as Christmas flowers—as a Christmas tree motif? First, crumple and fold green origami paper into a ball, then cut it into leaf shapes.

Do the same with red origami paper to make poinsettia petals.

The result is very festive, so it’s perfect for decorating rooms or the walls of senior care facilities! The more green leaves and red petals you make, the fuller your tree will look, so for activities at senior facilities, it’s a great idea to divide the tasks among everyone.

Decorating together is fun, too!

♬ 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.
