A Christmas tree you can make with 100-yen shop items

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

This craft involves arranging small tree ornaments to make them look like one large, dazzling tree.

The base of each small tree is simple: just cut a circle from construction paper, add a few slits, and roll it up.

That way, even people who find complex scissor work challenging can enjoy it easily.

Including pom-pom decorations, it’s also recommended to have everyone focus on making their own small tree and then display all the creations together as a single tree.

Encourage participants to think about how to make their own tree stand out among the arranged trees, and bring together a variety of unique styles to create a tree full of individuality.

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.

Christmas angel ornament

(100-yen shop) How to make a Christmas decoration: angel [DIY] Christmas decoration angel

Christmas carries a strong sacred image, and angels—who seem to bring happiness—are a perfect motif, don’t you think? Let’s use angel ornaments to give your Christmas a soft, gentle atmosphere.

The steps are: cut lace paper and colored cardstock to size, paste them together, cut out the center, then fold the whole piece in half and refine the shape.

This section will become the body and arms, so handle it gently to avoid creases.

After that, attach a ping-pong ball for the head and add the wing parts to finish.

Express your originality through choices like colors and how you display it, focusing on the finer details.

Christmas tree trinket box

How to Make a Milk Carton “Christmas Tree-Shaped Accessory Case” [Easy Christmas Craft]

This is a small accessory holder that uses a milk carton and is themed like a Christmas tree.

By cutting open the milk carton to create the base and the tree trunk, the whole piece has a unified look.

The process is to leave only the bottom part intact, cut open the rest, then layer a tree-shaped piece of construction paper on top and cut along the shape.

It’s also important to firmly layer and glue the construction paper to neatly hide the milk carton parts.

Pay attention to the decorations as well, and create a tree that reflects your own style.
