Poinsettia wreath
Poinsettias are a popular flower often used for Christmas decorations, aren’t they? This time, we’re introducing a poinsettia decoration you can make! It’s made with origami and is also great as a wall ornament.
This wreath is assembled from a total of eight red flowers and green pieces.
The key is to crease firmly as you fold.
Since the shapes are intricate, it’s best to work carefully.
Once you glue the gaps together, attach pearl beads with double-sided tape to finish! The red and green colors, along with the sparkling pearls, will brighten up your Christmas.
Snowman garland made from recycled materials like milk cartons
This is a three-dimensional snowman garland made using a milk carton and toilet paper rolls.
First, cut the milk carton into long, narrow strips and shape them into circles.
Wrap them with flower paper while shaping to create the snowman’s base.
Next, cut the toilet paper roll into a short width, shape it into a hat, and wrap it with the same flower paper.
Add faces and patterns to each part, assemble them, and hang them on a string to finish.
It’s also fun to change the colors and decorations of the flower paper to create your own unique snowmen.
Holly wreath made from a paper plate
This is an easy Christmas wreath made by using a ring cut from a paper plate as the base and decorating it with construction paper cut into holly leaves and other shapes.
If cutting the jagged edges of the holly is difficult, you can prepare all the parts—including the leaves—in advance and let everyone enjoy the decorating.
Arranging holly leaves in different colors and other pieces that evoke winter and Christmas helps develop creativity as you design your own wreath.
A key point for a more festive look is to carefully layer the pieces so that the base is fully covered.
No-sew Santa stocking
This decoration is inspired by stockings, an essential item for receiving Christmas presents.
Made in red and white Christmas colors, it also conveys the image of Santa Claus.
The best part is that you can make it without sewing: simply cut fabric into a sock shape, layer the pieces, glue them together, then turn it inside out to neaten the shape—it’s a straightforward process.
After that, just add your own decorations to the sock base to complete it.
Try incorporating winter or Christmas motifs to give it a festive finish.
Christmas hanging ornaments
Let me introduce a Christmas hanging decoration made with origami and thin string! It looks lovely swaying in the breeze when you open the window.
For the stars, bells, and holly berries and leaves, fold the origami paper in an accordion.
Next, glue the folded paper together and cut it into each shape.
Using glittery paper is also recommended.
Making a Santa hat is cute, too.
Once you thread them onto the string, your 3D ornaments are complete! Let’s enjoy welcoming Christmas while looking at this decoration.
In conclusion
These decorations seem perfect for bringing a bright, festive Christmas atmosphere to a room.
Try making them together with older adults during a craft activity! Using the fingers and thinking through the steps and the final result can also help with brain training.
