Who doesn’t love decorating their home for Christmas? I love putting up the tree, hanging the lights, wrapping the garland around, well – everything! It’s so much fun to get into the festive spirit and prepare the house for the holiday season.

Some decorations have been in the family for years and will make an appearance every Christmas forever. Others may get an updated look from time to time; for example, maybe you get a new set of Christmas tree ornaments every couple of years to give the tree a new theme. You might like making some Christmas decorations by hand every year, too! Some folks love to make popcorn and cranberry strings or paper Christmas trees because they want to spend that time together as a family. If you’re looking for papercraft Christmas décor to create with your loved ones, you’ve come to the right place!

These paper Christmas wreaths are perfect for all ages. If you have some older kids helping you with this project, they will have no problem cutting out strips of paper to fill out the wreath’s foliage. If you have some younger ones in your brood, take some time beforehand to cut out the paper strips yourself – then the kids can do the super-fun part of gluing them!

Once you have a few wreaths ready to go, you can use them to decorate your home and show off your family craft! Maybe arts and crafts aren’t a big hit in your home, but you need some decorations for a class party or holiday celebration. You can hang the wreaths from the walls or spruce up the food tables with some wreaths around the food containers! This craft is versatile enough to get you through any holiday function. So grab your scissors and glue, and let’s get started!

How to Make Paper Christmas Wreath

Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree, how lovely are these paper craft branches! The holiday season is just around the corner, with temperatures dropping and Christmas carols emerging on the radio airwaves. I don’t know about you, but I’m already itching to break out decorations and the stockings hung by the chimney with care! And let’s face it, we all have a little extra time at home on our hands. As such, why not make some of your decorations by hand this year?

Now, don’t worry if you aren’t the “crafty type” the other 11 months of the year! These Christmas Tree Paper Crafts are super easy to make and even simple enough for kids to help you crank them out. This project would be an excellent activity for your family to do together, gathered around the coffee table in the living room with snow softly falling outside, mugs of hot cocoa nearby, and Christmas music playing softly in the background… but I digress. The point is, this craft is fun for all ages!

Perhaps your home décor is all set for the season, but you’re hosting a holiday party or event during Christmastime. The Christmas Tree Paper Craft would make an affordable, easy table centerpiece for your seating areas! Just change the color of the ornaments to match your color scheme, and your decorations are all set. You could place one at each table or make a grove of Christmas trees in the center of them! And if the rest of the event space needs a little holiday flair, don’t be afraid to sprinkle them throughout the food tables or hang them from the ceiling. Since they’re so light and versatile, you can use them virtually anywhere!

Halloween and Harvest Season is upon us! Soon there will be adorable little ghosts and witches knocking on your door, asking for yummy treats and secretly hoping that your candy treats are the biggest and best ones they’ve gotten yet.

Maybe there aren’t any trick-or-treat plans in your future, but you need a fun, unique party favor for your fall-themed event. Perhaps you’re hosting a shower in the autumn months or throwing a birthday party for a fall baby. Or you may need treat bags to send with your child to school for their fall-themed party! Regardless of the reason, these Pumpkin Favors are the perfect way to celebrate the season.

This papercraft is super easy to make, even if you need to make them in bulk. You don’t have to be a master crafter to make these favors look fantastic – they’re super cute no matter their shape and size! As long as you have some scissors, hot glue, and colorful paper, you’re all set.

Don’t be afraid to mix up the candy choices inside the bags, either. While the how-to video features lollies, there are plenty of alternatives to consider! Orange jelly beans, Skittles, M&M’s, Reese’s Cups (or Reese’s Minis), and even candy corn would be a fantastic option for your pumpkin favors. Just be mindful of any young children that may be eating the candy inside, and plan accordingly.

Feel free to add other colors besides orange, too! Any fall-themed colors – red, yellow, brown, white, and some green – will make your fall-themed favors really pop. You can order separate colors of these treats online or find them at your local candy store – rather than buying bags of M&M’s and sorting all the colors!

No matter the event, these paper pumpkin favors are sure to delight your guests or visitors and make your Harvest Season celebration a memorable one!

It’s that magical time of year again! The weather is getting cooler, the air is getting crisper, and the trees are getting more vibrantly orange and red with each passing day. It’s time for apple picking, hayrides, and pumpkin spice everything! It’s official – fall has flung itself into our lives.

The stunning colors of fall don’t have to stay outside of your house! Now is the perfect time to look around your living space and see what you can add to create an autumnal atmosphere. Bust out your cozy blankets from the storage closet. Find some throw pillows with warm, earthy tones. And while you’re at it, why not make some fall décor of your own?

This spiral fall leaves paper craft is just the thing you need to bring the magic of fall into any space. Anyone can grab a bouquet of faux flowers for their tables and nooks – it’s time to crank it up a notch! Grab a glass vase, aluminum wire, heavy paper, fall-colored paints – oh, and a pumpkin spice latte. You know, for inspiration! Don’t hesitate to recruit your kids or some friends to help paint the leaves, too. This craft is a fantastic activity for any age.

Spiral fall leaves are versatile; you can use this craft to decorate your home, but you can also use it as a centerpiece for tables at an event! Maybe you have a fall-themed baby shower to decorate or an outdoorsy, woods-themed party that needs a touch of nature. You could also craft a few of these spirals for your dining room table!

No matter where you use them, these pieces of fall décor will last for the whole season. They’re easy to make and cheap enough to replicate every year, just keep the vases on hand. Take that extra money and buy yourself some more pumpkin spice things!

Princess-themed parties and events are a tale as old as time. What little girl doesn’t want to dress up as her favorite princess and get the royal treatment for a day? Even as an adult, I still would! On the flip side, there’s nothing better than playing Fairy Godmother to make a little girl’s royal dreams come true. And don’t worry, if there’s a princess in your life who wants to have her fairytale heroine (or heroines) as the central theme of her party, you don’t have to drop a king’s salary on decorations. You can make most of them yourself – like these Paper Tissue Princess Dresses!

These paper figurines are hugely popular for party décor, especially when it comes to adorable princess parties! You won’t need much to put them together, either. You’ll just have to get some paper tissue, scissors, glue, craft sticks, and a headshot of your princess of choice. And don’t let the honeycomb pattern fool you! It looks complicated, but it’s quite simple to make; once you have the pattern down, you’ll be cranking these babies out faster than you can wish upon a star!
