Christmas decorations

In this case, the closest I think you can get is "When making Christmas decorations, it's important to have a good glue" "a good glue is essential when making Christmas decorations", or something along those lines.

Good luck.

Christmas paper chains

are another possibility, and still popular in the UK.

We made a lot of them as children, also the kind called 'musetrapper' in Danish (known as paper snakes or just another kind of chain).

The fun with those was to change colours at intervals, and if the glue was too wet, they fell apart!

We also made a type with stars stuck together at the tips, but these often needed a string through the middle as well as glue.

I think 'juleklip' is a very Danish pastime! The hearts and 'nisser' in the windows are not nearly so common in the UK.

The nearest you can get is papercraft, which wil include do-it-yourself cards etc. that also need glue
