Wall-mounted Christmas tree made with origami

Easy Origami Christmas Tree Wall Decoration (with voice narration)

A Christmas tree made up of small trees looks so festive.

The origami folds are very simple: first fold it in half into a triangle, then fold both sides toward the center line.

Fold the flaps at the center outward.

Align with the mountain fold line, fold it in half so the colored side faces out, then fold it downward.

When using scissors, the key is to cut from the corners at a diagonal, rounding as you go.

Glue two accordion-style trees together with a slight offset, then attach the trunk to finish.

If you’re layering three pieces, adjust where you cut to keep the balance.

It might look even more festive if you change up the origami patterns as you make them.

Accordion-folded Christmas tree

[Craft Idea] Christmas Tree with Accordion Folding (December) (Senior Activities) (Early Childhood Education) (DIY) (Decoration) (Free-Standing)

A Christmas tree made by accordion-folding colored construction paper is a fun craft with a three-dimensional shape.

First, cut green construction paper into long, narrow strips and carefully accordion-fold them to create layers.

By placing a roll of packing tape’s cardboard core or a paper cup inside, you can make a stable, three-dimensional tree.

Layer the folded pieces from the top down to create a natural volume.

Decorate with stars and beads for a festive, eye-catching finish.

The process also helps practice fine motor skills, so children will be thoroughly engaged.

The finished tree is perfect for displaying on a tabletop.

This is a Christmas tree idea that’s easy to make with simple materials, fun to decorate, and gives a great sense of accomplishment.

Santa Claus walking along

[Craft] How to Make a Santa Claus That Walks and Carries Presents 🎅🎁 ★SunSun Kids TV★ #shorts #craft #christmas

The little waddling Santa Claus is super cute, isn’t he? Let’s glue red construction paper onto a paper cup and draw a Santa illustration.

Prepare two bottle caps, put a super ball inside, and glue the caps together.

Thread a rubber band through and use tape to secure it.

Put some beads in a small bag, tie it with a string, and attach it to the paper cup Santa.

Make shallow cuts at the bottom of the paper cup, fit the rubber band in, and it’s done.

Try twisting the caps to make it toddle along.

It might be fun to have a race, too!

Christmas target game!

6th Christmas Guessing Game: Easy Crafts You Can Make and Play as a Parent-Child Pair!

How about making a ring toss game you can use at parties? Using colored construction paper, you’ll make a Christmas tree and hats as the targets, plus the rings.

First, to make the tree, prepare a square sheet of origami paper and fold it in half to make a rectangle, aligning the left and right edges.

Next, open the fold, then fold the two bottom corners in toward the center.

Fold the new edges so they overlap at the center, tuck in any excess paper, and shape it into an isosceles triangle to finish.

The hat is made the same way, so decorate it with stickers or pom-poms to complete it.

For the rings, take two strips of construction paper, fold each in half lengthwise, twist them together into one strip, and then connect the ends to form a circle.

A snow globe with fluffy, drifting flakes

@.vs9086

This time it’s a “Fluffy Snow-Globe That Swirls!” You can make it with items from the 100-yen shop! [Materials] • Plastic cup with lid • Straw • Balloon filled with tiny beads • Christmas-patterned postcard or kitchen paper • Decorations to put inside (Santa, tree, snowman, etc.) (• Light to put inside) [How to make] (1) Make a hole near the rim of the cup (this will be close to the bottom of the snow globe). (2) Enlarge the hole and insert a straw. (3) Make a small hole in the bottom of the cup (this will be the ceiling of the snow globe). Note: This creates an air passage. (4) Cut the Christmas-patterned background into a trapezoid and stick it on the inside of the cup. (5) Cut open the balloon with beads and pour the contents into the cup. (6) Seal the hole in the lid with tape. (7) Attach the decorations to the lid with double-sided tape. (8) Put on the lid and flip it over to finish. (9) Blow through the straw and the snow will swirl! [Notes] If you accidentally inhale, the beads can go into your mouth, so little kids should be careful! [Variations] Adding a light from the 100-yen shop makes it super cute! If you add one, thread it through the hole in the lid first, then seal the hole with tape. ----- We share fun brain-boosting play that gets elementary school kids more absorbed than their Switch—and helps grow their talents!

♬ Let It Go – From “Frozen”/Soundtrack Version – Idina Menzel

A Christmas with fluffy, drifting snow makes the romantic atmosphere even more fun, doesn’t it? Let’s make a snow globe that captures a snowy Christmas scene.

Use a lidded cup as the frame for the scene, treat the lid as the ground, place mascots like Santa Claus on it, and fill the surrounding area with tiny beads to imitate snow.

A key point is to make a hole in the side of the cup near the lid and insert a straw; by blowing through it, the “snow” will swirl up.

Fine-tune the details to improve the quality—such as how much “snow” to add to make it look most realistic and at what angle to blow so it swirls nicely.
