Christmas tree candle
Something you’ll want to display at your Christmas dinner! Why not try making a Christmas tree candle? Prepare a Christmas mold, wick string, paraffin wax, soy wax, pigment, crayons, and a candle decorating pen.
Identify the tip that will become the top of the tree, make a hole in the Christmas mold, and thread the wick through it.
Secure the wick, mix melted paraffin wax and soy wax, and pour into the mold.
If you want to color your tree, mix in your favorite pigment.
Once the wax has set, remove it and add snow by applying dry wax or a white crayon to the tree.
Finally, draw ornaments with a candle decorating pen—and it’s complete!
Macramé reindeer ornament
Here are some stylish macramé reindeer ornament ideas.
First, secure a wooden ring and attach a single white cord with a lark’s head knot.
Next, continue knotting as if repeating double half hitch knots until about three-quarters of the ring is covered.
Then prepare four brown cords and use two cords for each antler.
For the antlers, attach the cords to the ring in pairs using reverse lark’s head knots, tie two square knots, then split them into two pairs.
Make two half knots (left or right alternating knots) on each side to finish.
Create the antler on the other side, trim any excess cord, and glue to secure.
Add a decorative pearl and a hanging cord to complete the ornament.
Christmas tree made with lace thread
Here’s an idea for a stylish yet easy-to-make Christmas tree using lace thread.
First, roll a piece of thick paper into a cone and secure it.
Trim the bottom flat so it can stand on a table.
Cover the cone with plastic wrap, pressing it to fit snugly, and tape it in place.
Brush glue over the plastic wrap, then wrap lace thread around it however you like.
Once it’s dry, remove only the thick paper, and decorate with pearls or other embellishments.
Place an LED light inside, and you’re done!

Nordic-style star ornament
Here’s an introduction to Nordic-style star ornaments.
They’re perfect for winter and would work wonderfully as Christmas decorations too! You can use eco-craft, craft bands, or paper bands—please prepare one of these.
By folding and layering the bands, you can create a three-dimensional star.
You can also vary the size by changing the band length.
The calm texture and colors of the craft materials give a very sophisticated, grown-up feel.
They’re sure to add stylish charm to your room!
Cutting board wreath
Let’s make a cute cutting board wreath using materials from a 100-yen shop! The basic method is simple: glue a plain wreath as the base onto a cutting board, then arrange your favorite ornaments on top in a balanced way.
It’s a fun idea to paint the cutting board to match your image and choose ornaments that fit the theme.
Try finding decorations you like—such as gloves, yarn pom-poms, or nuts—and give it a go!
Poinsettias made with craft punches
The poinsettia is a plant beloved worldwide as the “Christmas flower.” Its hallmark is the bracts—leaf-like parts that look like petals—which are a strikingly vivid red.
The contrast with the green leaves makes it perfectly suited to the classic Christmas color scheme.
How about making a poinsettia using a craft punch? We’ll create the parts using construction paper punched into clover shapes.
The finished piece will be a cute, three-dimensional form made of three layered tiers.
Make plenty and decorate with them, and your whole room will feel lively!
Easy Advent Calendar with 100-Yen Store Materials
This is an advent calendar made of small paper bags with numbers that count down the days until Christmas.
Each bag is tied with a string inspired by a ribbon, and untying the string to check the contents builds anticipation for Christmas.
Fill a box with the small, filled paper bags and close it with a lid to complete it.
Create a window in the lid so the bags inside are visible.
Since both the paper bags and the box are made from kraft paper, it’s important to evoke a Christmas atmosphere with the numbers drawn on the bags and decorations on the box and lid, so the overall look doesn’t become too plain.
