Swaying Snowman Wreath

Let’s make a wreath you can enjoy displaying not only at Christmas but throughout the winter.
The main motif is a snowman, so the key is to keep the edges rounded and make everything as circular as possible! You’ll need a paper plate, colored construction paper, masking tape, jute twine, fishing line (monofilament), paints, oil-based colored pens, a snowflake-shaped craft punch, double-sided tape, a utility knife, and scissors.
Instead of finishing it in a single day, aim to complete it over two to three days—you’ll be able to take your time and focus on the details.
Give it a try!
Snowman-shaped Christmas wreath

Stylish and beautiful! Let’s try making an authentic wreath that soothes you just by looking at it.
The key is using bases of different sizes so that, on closer look, they form the shape of a snowman.
It would be wonderful to finish your one-of-a-kind piece packed with details using dried flowers, all while having fun.
The appeal is that you can get everything you need even at a 100-yen shop.
The process of attaching the bases, dried flowers, ribbon, and felt motifs with glue or a glue gun is exciting.
New Year wall decoration

First, make the base by diagonally attaching reversible red-and-gold crepe paper onto a rectangular sheet of black construction paper.
Then, decorate by adding paper flowers, a paper fan, and mizuhiki cords on top.
Create each flower by making the individual parts separately and then assembling them into a single bloom.
Arrange the parts for balance and attach them with a hot glue gun.
Adding gold glitter to the flower centers will give an even more glamorous finish.
Besides pine, bamboo, and plum, there are many flowers perfect for New Year’s, such as chrysanthemums, lilies, and ornamental cabbages, so it’s also recommended to arrange and create your favorite flowers.
Fluffy snowman made with tissue paper

Here’s a craft idea for a snowman that could also become a wall decoration if you hang it with a string.
First, cut out the inside of a paper plate so only the rim remains, then glue on crumpled tissue paper.
Next, cut out a circular piece from construction paper for the head and a rectangular piece for the bucket hat.
Draw the face with a pen, attach the bucket, then glue it to the paper plate to finish.
It’s handy to pre-cut the tissue paper into sizes that are easy to crumple, but having the person making it tear the paper themselves can also be good finger exercise.

Perfectly round snowman

Let me share an idea for making a perfectly round snowman designed to look like it’s gazing upward.
First, cut a paper cup about 4–5 cm up from the bottom.
Next, attach a snowman face made from construction paper to the bottom of the cup, then glue it to the center of a paper plate.
The paper plate will be the snowman’s body, so add pipe-cleaner arms and use round stickers to create patterns on the body.
Finally, decorate the paper plate with star stickers, and you’re done.
It’s very simple yet creates a striking piece, so give it a try!
Snowman made with rings

A classic for birthday decorations! This is a snowman craft made with paper chains.
Make a loop by gluing a strip of construction paper into a ring, thread another strip through it, then glue it into another ring to create a chain.
Use colored paper for the top ring, as it will be the bucket hat.
The second ring is the face, and the ones below form the body—decorate them with stickers and ribbons.
Attach arms made from brown construction paper and a hanging ribbon to the head, and it’s complete.
Hang it on the wall or ceiling to bring a wintry vibe.
You can use this idea to make Santa Claus, too.
Snowman Stencil

With a clear plastic file, you can easily enjoy stenciling.
First, cut the file open so it becomes a single sheet.
Then cut out a snowman shape or use a craft punch to cut snowflakes to create your stencil sheet.
Once the sheet is ready, place it over drawing paper and secure it, then dab on paint with a sponge.
After the paint dries, add a bucket hat, a carrot nose, and branch arms made from construction paper, and draw the face with a pen to finish!
