Around Christmas time, it’s a great idea to make a Christmas tree using leftover fabric scraps or felt.

If you happen to have red or green scraps, try making a tree that fully embraces Christmas colors.

If you don’t have red or green, any color is fine, but giving the colors a unified theme will make the tree look even nicer.

For example, you could go with a black and gray two-tone palette, or coordinate pastel shades like orange and pink.

If you make it only with fabric scraps, the whole tree can end up looking a bit limp, so it might be a good idea to first create a frame out of thick paper or cardboard.

A big Christmas tree

Let’s create a large Christmas tree on the wall—an iconic holiday decoration.

The process is to decorate triangular pieces in green and arrange them into a tree shape, intentionally leaving gaps so the overall form still reads as a tree while adding a sense of depth.

Once the tree shape is set, including the trunk pieces, it’s recommended to decorate the surrounding area to aim for an even more luxurious look.

If you incorporate reflective elements like gold tape to catch the light, the festive excitement of Christmas will stand out even more.

Christmas Decorations with Paper Ring Garlands

[Ring Garland Craft Idea] Christmas Decorations with Ring Garlands (December Wall Decorations) (Activities for Seniors, Day Service, Occupational Therapy, Childcare, Origami, DIY)

This is about making a chain garland by turning long, thin strips of paper into loops and linking them together, giving it a Christmas feel.

Imagine connecting large loops with thin loops, arranging it so that only one side of each large loop is visible.

The motifs to create include Santa Claus, reindeer, and snowmen.

Each motif is completed in two segments—one for the face and one for the body—and then connected together.

Since you’ll make several long garlands, it’s recommended to vary the positions of the motifs on each one to achieve a more luxurious look.

Simple Christmas Tree

[Craft Idea] Easy Christmas Tree (December, Winter) (Wall Decoration) (Activities for Seniors, Occupational Therapy OT, Daycare, Childcare) (Origami, Original Creation) (DIY Papercraft) (Simple 3D)

This is a Christmas tree decoration whose charm lies in the layered, three-dimensional look of the leaves.

The key is how you make the leaves: firmly crease the paper first, then cut it into leaf shapes, and bend them to create a 3D effect.

Next, make the conical base of the tree and layer the bent leaves onto it.

Once the green part of the Christmas tree is finished, add the trunk and decorations to make it even more festive.

It’s also recommended to arrange snowflakes around it to enhance the overall atmosphere.

Easy Christmas wreath with tissue paper

Crafting with tissue paper doesn’t require much strength, so it might be easy for older adults to make as well.

Crumple the tissue paper in your hand and stick it onto a wreath made from a paper plate with the center cut out.

It’s also recommended to make gifts, canes, or candles out of construction paper.

You can enjoy decorating by placing the ornaments wherever you like.

Of course, green tissue paper works nicely, but using red or white can create a chic-looking wreath.

Take it home and display it to bring the Christmas spirit into your own room.

Christmas decorations / Easy! Just cut and paste! Illustrated wall decorations [Illustration details] Check out the “Christmas Illustrations” from the “Template Distribution” section on Home Link!

♬ Christmas standard song – 3KTrack

Here’s an idea you can use when you’re short on time but want to make your wall look cute.

All you need are printed papers with Christmas illustrations and raffia ribbon.

Prepare a variety of illustrations.

After cutting out each illustration with scissors, attach them to raffia ribbons cut to match the length of your wall.

Using two colors—red and green—will give it an even more Christmassy feel.

Once all the illustrations are attached, stick the raffia ribbons to the wall, alternating red and green.

It’s an easy idea that creates a very festive, eye-catching wall display.

A new kind of Christmas wreath made with clay

Christmas wreath / Crafting with clay! A new kind of wreath 🎄

♬ All I Want for Christmas Is You – Mariah Carey

A Christmas wreath that looks like a flower arrangement is a fresh idea, isn’t it? The key is to use lightweight clay from a 100-yen shop as the base for the wreath.

If you use paper clay, it might be too heavy to hang on the wall.

Shape the lightweight clay into a wreath, then use a chopstick to insert small pieces of tissue paper that you’ve cut up.

Green tissue paper works well, but making it in colors preferred by older adults would also turn out beautifully.

Attach a ribbon or items with Christmas illustrations to finish.

The method is a bit different and feels fresh, so the making process should be fun too.
