Fluffy tissue paper Christmas tree
When making crafts with tissue paper, you sometimes end up with leftover scraps, right? This time, here’s an idea for making a Christmas tree using those leftover pieces.
The key is to put some liquid glue on your palm and roll the tissue paper into little balls! Try adjusting the amount of glue as you go.
When creating the base with construction paper, it’s best to cut it to fit the size of the place where you want to display it.
Using holographic tape or sparkly materials will give it a bright, festive finish!
Cute Minnie Santa origami
Let’s make a Minnie Santa with origami! It’s cute to stick on the wall as is, and it would also look great combined with other Christmas-themed origami pieces to create a garland or hanging decoration.
First, use one sheet of origami paper to make the face, body, and hat.
Then use several other sheets to make the ears, bow, and scarf.
Since there are parts that require cutting, prepare scissors, a pen for drawing the face, and glue for assembly.
There aren’t any complicated steps, but because you’ll be putting several pieces together, fold each part carefully, one by one.

Place it with the white side facing up, and fold the bottom edge up to align with the lower line of the white area.
Fold the paper in half by bringing the left and right edges together, then pinch the inside section and pull it outward 90 degrees.

Let’s try making a bell out of origami to use as a Christmas decoration.
With the colored side of the paper facing up, fold up the bottom edge by about 1 centimeter.
Turn the paper over, fold the top left and right corners in to meet at the center, then fold the top down along the base line of the triangle you just made.
Fold the bottom left and right corners up to meet the bottom point of the triangle.
At this step, fold them at a slight angle so the shape looks like a bell.
Tuck in the remaining corners to refine the bell shape, then make a second one the same way and glue them together.
Finish by attaching a holly piece to the back.
