Christmas card
Pop-up Christmas cards that are easy for everyone—from kids to adults—to make, and a delight to receive.
There are simple methods you can try, so even first-timers can craft cards with confidence! Whether the illustrations are simple or cute, watching them pop up is exciting, isn’t it? Pop-up cards deliver a fun surprise the moment you open them, along with the joy of something handmade.
There are many different patterns, so use plenty of ideas as inspiration and enjoy creating your own original cards.
Christmas boots
How about making Christmas boots by recycling paper cartons that once held milk or juice? It’s easy: use a ruler to draw a Christmas boot design on colored or patterned paper, then cut the milk carton to match that design.
Next, slowly apply 1 cm-wide double-sided tape along all four edges of each side of the carton.
Finally, cut the prepared paper to fit each side and stick it on.
Your original Christmas boots, with the cozy warmth of paper, are adorable—and just displaying them will bring a sense of calm!
cotton ball lights
Do you know what a cotton ball ornament is? You wrap colorful threads around an inflated balloon, coat them with glue, and let it dry.
Then you pop the balloon with a pin, and your cotton ball is ready.
Try making lots of them in different sizes and colors.
String them together with thread or add fairy lights, and you’ll have unique, stylish ornaments.
They’ll instantly elevate your decor for Christmas or parties.
Why not create three-dimensional, distinctive ornaments to bring a warm, handmade touch to your Christmas?
Santa Claus doll
These are Christmas Santa Claus figurines made using toilet paper rolls.
The materials are paper rolls, double-sided tape, and fluffy cotton or felt.
They’re easy to make, so give it a try.
The Santa with a bright red felt pointy hat and a white beard is adorable on its own, but it’s also fun to make several and line them up here and there.
Decorate your room with these Santa figurines with fluffy white beards, and brighten up the Christmas season with a festive touch.
stained-glass-style ornament
How about making some simple and cute Christmas ornaments? Decorate your walls or windows and try crafting sparkling, beautiful stained glass by hand.
With shrink plastic sheets and colored pens you can get at a 100-yen shop, it’s easy to make.
Turn your favorite characters into ornaments that bring color to Christmas.
First, place a plastic sheet over your preferred outline illustration and trace it with a black pen.
Prepare a base using crumpled aluminum foil and thick paper, then fasten the traced plastic sheet on top—and your stained-glass-style ornament is complete.

snow globe
A very simple snow globe you can make using items from a 100-yen shop.
The materials are liquid glue, an empty jar, adhesive, and a wooden skewer or chopstick.
For the decorations inside, you can use glitter, sparkles, and a main figurine—whatever you like.
Be sure to firmly glue the figurine to the bottom of the jar, and try not to let air in when adding the liquid glue.
You can adjust how quickly the sparkles fall by changing the ratio of liquid glue to water.
It’s easy enough for small children to try, so I highly recommend it!
party hat
This is a Santa Christmas hat you can make with construction paper.
First, fold the paper in half to make a crease.
Fold both sides into triangles toward the center line, then trim off any excess.
Next, fold each side toward the center two more times and flip it over.
Cut off the top portion, and when you open it up, it should look like a fan.
Roll it up into a cone shape, and that becomes the sturdy body of the hat.
Finally, decorate the brim and tip with white construction paper to finish a bright and cute Santa hat.
You can also use green as the base and stick on pom-pom decorations so it looks like a Christmas tree!
