Christmas board
How about making a Christmas board that’s perfect for displaying in a room or by the entrance? You can create a Christmas-themed piece by attaching various materials to a wooden board.
If you want to make a Christmas tree, we recommend using decoration parts like wood sheets, green moss, small ornaments, and beads.
Using similar materials to create a wreath on the wooden board is also a great idea.
Adding message-type stickers like “Merry Christmas” makes it stylish too! It’s perfect for when you can’t put up large decorations but still want to create a festive atmosphere.
Colon and cute. A Christmas mini tree made of craft band
Craft bands are gaining popularity among enthusiasts.
With a wide range of colors and patterns, they’re known for making it easy to create original items.
In fact, you can even make a Christmas tree with craft bands.
The weaving method is simple, so you can enjoy making lots of them, lining them up, and displaying them.
If you want to add an extra touch, you can decorate them with beads or jewelry-making parts.
In particular, decorating with snow- or star-themed pieces will really enhance the Christmas atmosphere.
Make it with masking tape! Wall-mounted tree
Many of you probably want to display the ornaments you purchased at the store.
In that case, we recommend the idea of a wall tree made with masking tape.
First, choose where you want to decorate, then stick green and brown masking tape in a zigzag pattern.
If you make the strips longer toward the bottom and shorter toward the top, it should start to look like a tree.
After that, draw a star at the top using yellow tape to finish.
Then simply stick your ornaments on top and enjoy.

3D Christmas tree made with origami
This is an original Christmas tree made by combining pieces of origami.
It’s easy to make with just origami paper, scissors, and glue, so you can enjoy crafting it with your children or friends.
First, fold the tree’s leaves, then cut away any excess parts.
Adding jagged cuts helps create a realistic tree look.
For the trunk, the key is to use glue and scissors to shape the parts so they can stand.
Connect the leaf and trunk pieces, then make a star and attach it to finish.
It’s also recommended to add decorations or drawings to the completed tree.
Pom-pom tree
A fluffy-looking pom-pom tree that brings a sense of comfort is also recommended.
For this idea, use decorative balls you can buy at 100-yen shops.
There are various types of decorative balls, but the best are the soft kind about 1 cm in diameter.
Once you have them, simply glue and stack them into a tree shape to complete it.
It’s also lovely to make and display a Santa Claus alongside it.
If you do, be sure to have felt and beads ready.

When it comes to Christmas trees, many people look forward to the lights.
That’s why I’d like to introduce Christmas tree lights.
This is a craft where you place an LED candle inside a handmade tree.
It may be small, but it lights up beautifully.
And because it uses an LED candle, it’s a great option for those who want to use candles but are concerned about having small children around.
You can also change the color of the tree to add a colorful glow to your room.
[100-Yen DIY] Christmas Tree Made with Felt

The tiered, cute fir tree has such a simple, charming look, doesn’t it? This Christmas tree is made using cardstock and felt.
Use the cardstock as the base, attach felt on top, and layer it to create the stepped tiers.
Cut the cardstock while measuring with a protractor, and use a 1-yen coin to trace the rounded shape at the hem.
Since you only need felt, cardstock, and glue, it’s an easy handmade Christmas tree you can make with materials you likely already have at home.
It would surely look adorable in a variety of colorful combinations, too.
