Christmas lights
@chooobo2 This time, I’m introducing how to make the “Original Light from a Paper Cup 💡” that we’ll create in the workshop on November 16 ✨ The picture you draw will glow in the dark 😳! Since Christmas is coming, I drew a tree! Depending on age, just coloring and adding stickers is enough—the pen colors and sticker shadows glow and look so cute 🩷 This time I drew on a clear file, but drawing directly on plastic wrap is also OK 🙆♀️◎ (Use a transparent clear file.) Using a clear file makes it easier to draw than on plastic wrap, and the finished piece is less likely to break! Workshop details are posted in the Instagram Highlights!Made in DecemberChristmas craftsChristmas partyTranslation#HandmadeToysPaper cup craft

This craft uses lights to create a magical atmosphere, projecting seasonal motifs like Christmas trees in the dark.
You draw the motif on a circle cut from a clear plastic file, place it at the rim of a paper cup with the bottom cut out, and secure it with plastic wrap.
Then, by shining a light through the cut-out bottom, the motif drawn on the clear file is projected.
You can also have fun experimenting with details, such as which pens make the image look more beautiful and how to decorate the paper cup.
Santa Claus transformation goods

Let’s make a fun item that turns you into Santa Claus just by holding it up to your face! First, cut a paper plate in half, then cut a triangle hat piece from construction paper.
Make the hat by attaching a white pom-pom (cut into a circle) to a red triangle.
Tape twine to both corners of the hat, and glue the paper plate so that when you hold it to your face, the plate sits just under your nose.
Finally, attach a drinking straw to each corner of the hat, and you’re done! Hold the sticks and place it against your face—the paper plate will act as a beard and transform you into Santa Claus!
Star ornament made from straws

Here’s how to make a star ornament using just straws and twine.
Prepare five straws cut to about 10 centimeters each, and thread them onto the twine.
If threading is difficult, attach a clip as a weight to the end of the twine and feed it from top to bottom to make it easier.
Once all the straws are threaded, form a pentagon and tie the twine.
From here, shape the straws into a star.
While holding the top corner of the pentagon so it doesn’t move, twist the bottom straw.
If the left and right straws form an X shape, you’re on the right track.
Next, bring the top corner straight down and tuck it under the bottom straw—that’s it! Adjust the shape so it makes a neat star.
Pudding cup Christmas decorations

Popular as a Christmas motif! Let me show you a bell-shaped decoration.
Please prepare a clear plastic cup, glossy origami paper, round stickers, construction paper, pipe cleaners, and glitter tape.
First, decorate the outside of the cup with round stickers.
Next, crumple the glossy origami paper and place it inside the cup, then cover it with a circle cut from construction paper.
Wrap glitter tape all the way around the top and bottom edges of the cup, fold the cup in half, and attach a pipe cleaner—twisted at both ends—to the bottom.
It doesn’t make a sound, but that’s your cute bell all finished!
Projection tree

This is a craft that uses light to gently reveal a Christmas scene.
Layer a Christmas landscape drawn on tracing paper over a mirror-finish circle that reflects light, then combine it with a tracing-paper cone.
After that, shine a light from above, and the reflected light on the mirror surface will project around the surroundings.
Let’s refine the details—such as which colors show up clearly and the best angle to shine the light—to improve the overall quality.
