[Handmade] Christmas trees you can make with everyday materials: A collection of eye-catching ideas (21–30)
A DIY Christmas tree made with 100-yen store items
It’s a Christmas tree made by attaching fringed origami to a cone base crafted from drawing paper.
The key is to curl the fringed sections by gently stroking them with a pen or the tip of a pair of scissors—this gives it a soft, fluffy texture.
We recommend making the slits very narrow, about 1 mm wide.
Create several of these pieces and glue them to the base in tiers.
Finish by adding a star and ribbon on the top and small pearls all over, and you’re done!
A Christmas tree made with torn-paper collage!
A torn-paper Christmas tree made by tearing and pasting origami is a craft you can enjoy with children.
Tearing the origami into small pieces exercises their fingers, and thinking about color combinations while sticking them on fosters creativity.
Add star-shaped stickers and decorative stickers freely, and you’ll have a one-of-a-kind colorful tree.
If you dot the background with a white crayon like falling snow, it will enhance the wintry atmosphere.
Working while chatting makes the conversation lively and creates lasting memories.
It’s a Christmas tree idea that uses simple materials to create a festive piece.
Easy with cardboard! A yarn Christmas tree
A Christmas tree made by wrapping yarn around a cardboard base has a warm, charming feel.
Cut the cardboard into a triangle and wrap your favorite color of yarn around and around.
If you change colors partway through, you’ll create a gradient for a more stylish finish.
Add yarn pom-poms or beads at the end to complete the tree.
Since you don’t use glue or scissors, even small children can work on it safely.
It fits anywhere and is the perfect size for a tabletop.
This is a Christmas tree idea you can get absorbed in making, using familiar materials that bring a cozy sense of warmth.
Easy Christmas tree using a toilet paper roll core
A Christmas tree you can make using familiar scrap materials is perfect for a parent-child craft.
Lightly flatten a toilet paper roll, then use a pencil to sketch the tree and the cup (base) sections.
Draw so that the tree is balanced evenly on both sides.
Cut along the lines with scissors, then push the triangular part inward while spreading out the round part at the bottom.
Stick the tree together with double-sided tape and start wrapping yarn around it; the key is to wrap so there are no gaps in the yarn.
Finish by attaching the flowerpot section made from brown origami paper.
If you like, use glue to add ribbons or beads to create a one-of-a-kind Christmas tree.
Complete with just two pieces of fabric! Easy Christmas tree
This Christmas tree made from two pieces of fabric is a simple project—just sew them together and fold—making it perfect for sewing beginners.
Cut the outer and lining fabrics into half-circle shapes and sew them together.
Simply changing the fabric patterns transforms the look completely, letting you style it in Scandinavian or natural tastes.
Picking cute fabrics with kids and experiencing hand-stitching can also give a great sense of accomplishment.
It’s a Christmas tree idea that adds warmth to your room and is perfect for winter décor.
