How to make a Mickey-style Santa hat76rank/position

Here’s how to make a cute Mickey-like Santa hat that makes a sound.
First, cut red felt into a cone to fit the size of the head.
Since you’ll attach a pom-pom at the top, trim a small bit off the tip.
Next, stack two felt circles and sew around them, leaving a small opening.
Turn it inside out and insert a foam sheet.
Pay attention to the ear orientation and sew them onto the cone-shaped felt.
Turn the hat inside out, then use a glue gun to attach ornaments and a bell, and you’re done!

How about a handmade gift that’s perfect for the Christmas season—a miniature wreath? With pipe cleaners, ribbons, and beads from a 100-yen shop, anyone can give it a try with ease.
It’s wonderful to make them with your kids or as a memory with your partner.
A gift that carries the warmth of being handmade is sure to touch the hearts of those you care about.
The sense of accomplishment when you finish is exceptional, too! Let’s all enjoy a happy winter together!
one-shot gag78rank/position

As a way to liven up a Christmas party, how about some cleverly planned one-shot gags? Simple, quick acts are sure to be enjoyed not only by seniors but also by staff.
These days, you can find all kinds of items at 100-yen shops, so preparation is easy and inexpensive, which is great.
And if you come up with something high-quality, it can shine not only at the senior appreciation party but also at year-end and New Year parties and other events—so why not give it a try?
two-person robe (Nininbaori): a comedic act where two people share one kimono-like garment, with the rear person acting as the arms for the front person79rank/position

It’s a classic party act where two people wear a large haori together, and the person in the back feeds the person in the front.
The fun part is not only when it goes well, but also enjoying how it fails.
If you set it up as a challenge to eat cake while Christmas music is playing, it will add a festive, Christmas-like touch.
While it can sometimes go smoothly, it’s an act that’s quite likely to end in a messy failure, so when involving participants, it’s best to have staff take the role of the person being fed.
Signaling Game80rank/position

It’s a fun, active game inspired by traffic signals.
The caller shouts either red, blue, or yellow, and participants perform the corresponding action.
Blue means jump one step forward, yellow means jump one step back, and red means don’t move—players must react instantly.
It’s very simple, but because you keep making big movements to the rhythm, it becomes hard to recover once you notice a mistake—that’s the tricky part.
The standard version uses three actions, but you could add other moves to make it even more exciting for the group.
