Here is a movie which shows you how to make the New Year’s decorative pine trees. 

It will be interesting especially for children.

To start with, you need to get the materials ready. The following lists are what you need. They are usually sold in a hundred-yen store in Japan. Here is the item names in both Japanese and English.

・gayoushi(drawing papers) : midori(green),kiiro(yellow),aka(red)

・origami

・chiyogami(Japanese paper with colored figures)

・mooru(pipe cleaner)

・shinbunshi(newspaper)

・hasami(scissors)

・ryoumenteep(double-sided tape)

・serohanteep(scotch tape)

・katanuki(die cutting)

In the old days, it was thought that a god inhabited the treetop, so it seems that Kadomatu is a decoration for welcoming Toshigami(God in shindo).

Thank you for reading and watching the movie.
