Snowflake stamp
You can see snowflakes in the cold winter, right? For this snowflake stamp, please prepare a bump-prevention cushion sheet and an empty lactic acid bacteria drink container to use as the stamp base.
After sealing the opening of the drink container with vinyl tape, stick on the cushion sheet cut into a snowflake shape to make your stamp.
Dip it in paint and stamp it onto drawing paper, and beautiful snowflakes will appear.
It’s an activity that even small children can enjoy, so feel free to decorate the container with cute stickers or tape and have fun making it.
Fluffy snowman
Let me introduce an adorable snowman that you’ll want to touch because it’s so fluffy like cotton.
The key is to apply double-sided tape to two strips of white construction paper cut lengthwise, then attach cotton to create volume.
With the cotton facing inward, form each strip into a ring and staple the two rings together to make a snowman shape.
Make arms with pipe cleaners, and decorate the eyes and mouth using buttons or beads, and you’re done.
Try making this cute snowman that can be displayed on a wall or stood up as a decoration!
Santa with a handprint beard and a sticker-decorated tree
Let’s try a craft that turns children’s cute handprints into Santa’s beard.
First, prepare an oval piece of construction paper for Santa’s face and a sheet of origami paper folded into a triangle.
The origami will be Santa’s body, so patterned paper is recommended.
Next, use white paint to take the children’s handprints on the construction paper.
Once the paint dries, the teacher should cut out the handprints with scissors.
Then have the children help glue Santa’s parts together.
If you also pre-cut construction paper into a tree shape and let the children enjoy sticking on stickers, you’ll have a Christmas-themed craft all finished.
Fluffy cream Valentine’s chocolates
https://www.tiktok.com/@lienkashii/video/7333120600497491208The whipped cream looks so real and absolutely delicious.
For making fluffy-cream Valentine’s chocolates, we’ll create the “whipped cream” by mixing shaving foam with about one-third glue.
If you want extra fluffiness, mix in big, fast motions to increase the airy texture.
Prepare paper cutout toppings like mandarins, strawberries, and kiwi in advance.
A plastic spoon works best for spreading the cream.
The process is fun too—give this original Valentine’s chocolate craft a try!
Fluffy extra-large kagami mochi
Displaying an extra-large kagami mochi for New Year’s is very auspicious! For this extra-large kagami mochi wall decoration, let’s use tissue paper and origami.
First, for the mochi and the daidai (bitter orange), bundle several sheets of tissue paper and open them one by one to create large flowers.
Using tissue paper gives it volume and a soft, fluffy finish, so it’s recommended.
For the sanpō stand that holds the kagami mochi, crumple the paper to add three-dimensional texture as you shape it.
Make the mizuhiki cord and urajiro fern from construction paper or similar materials, add festive decorations, and it’s complete! It will become a wall display that conveys the season and Japanese culture.
Mount Fuji made with origami
Many people go to see the first sunrise of the year over Mt.
Fuji during the New Year, don’t they? A Mt.
Fuji made of origami is perfect for the New Year, and Mt.
Fuji is said to bring good luck.
Cut white, light blue, and blue origami paper vertically to create the shape of Mt.
Fuji.
It’s also nice to use white paper near the summit to represent snow.
It’s okay if there are small gaps when you glue the pieces, but try to keep the papers from being too far apart and pay attention to balance.
After making the sun with orange or yellow, finish by decorating with plum blossoms.
It sounds fun to make it together with everyone, too!
lion dance
There’s a custom that says if a lion dancer bites your head, it wards off bad luck for the year and brings good health.
Let’s make a lion dance decoration for this wall with the hope that we’ll stay healthy all year.
Cut the section called the lion’s body drape from construction paper, then dip a core made by rolling up a toilet paper tube into paint and stamp various large and small patterns onto the drape—that’s the key point.
Once the patterns are done on the body drape, cut out the lion’s face shape from red construction paper, attach the eyes, mouth, and nose pieces, and you’re finished.
It would also be lovely to celebrate the New Year by adding shiny origami paper around it!
