Because of the season, it gets dark early, so this kind of indirect lighting can add warmth.

These cotton light balls made with cotton thread are very stylish winter decorations.

Wrap cotton thread around an inflated balloon, soak it with glue, and let it dry.

Once the thread is dry, pop the balloon.

You’ll find the cotton thread has hardened into a ball shape! Then just thread a string of lights through the inside and it’s done! One note: choose lights that don’t generate heat even when left on for a long time.

Let’s make a camellia flower out of construction paper that evokes the arrival of winter! Tie the center of a bundle of thread wrapped around a ruler, cut the loops to create the pollen part of the camellia, and attach it to the tip of a wire that will serve as the stem.

Cut five small circles from construction paper, make a slit in each, and use a thin stick to give them a gentle curve.

Then use glue to attach them to the wire with the pollen part.

Prepare another wire with leaf-shaped paper attached, combine it with the flower wire, and wrap the stems with masking tape to secure them.

Your camellia, a flower that represents winter, is complete!

sock snowman

How about upcycling old socks into cute snowmen? Cut a sock in half and turn it inside out, tie off the ankle end, then turn it right side out again.

Stuff the inside with leftover fabric or filling to make it round, use a rubber band around the middle to create a waist, and tie off the open top with another rubber band—your snowman base is done! Add eyes and decorations with beads, buttons, and ribbon, and finally slip the toe section of the sock over the top to make a knit hat.
