Easy! Christmas Bell Origami

https://www.tiktok.com/@hoiku.labo/video/7301952391056821506

Let’s try making a bell out of origami to use as a Christmas decoration.

With the colored side of the paper facing up, fold up the bottom edge by about 1 centimeter.

Turn the paper over, fold the top left and right corners in to meet at the center, then fold the top down along the base line of the triangle you just made.

Fold the bottom left and right corners up to meet the bottom point of the triangle.

At this step, fold them at a slight angle so the shape looks like a bell.

Tuck in the remaining corners to refine the bell shape, then make a second one the same way and glue them together.

Finish by attaching a holly piece to the back.

Take a square sheet of origami paper divided into four equal parts and fold it into a triangle three times.

Hold the corner that becomes the center of the origami, then round off the edge and cut off the tip.

Draw two curved lines up and down from the left edge to just before the right edge, and make cuts along those curves with scissors.

Open the paper, then glue the middle sections with the slits together at the center on all four sides.

Make another one the same way, rotate it slightly, and attach them back-to-back.

Finally, add a string for hanging, and it’s complete.

Fold the origami paper into a triangle to make a crease, then open it and fold the top corner down to meet the center.

Fold the lowered corner into a roll (tuck fold) to create the white part of the hat.

Next, fold the bottom corner up to meet the top edge, then fold it back down about 1 cm below the white part of the hat.

This white triangle will be Santa’s beard.

Turn the paper over, and fold the top left and right edges inward by about 7 mm.

Then fold both sides inward again so that the top edges align with the vertical center line.

Fold along the creases you just made so they match the lower left and right edges of the diamond shape at the center, and fold them back outward, tucking the corners into the small triangles on the left and right—these will be Santa’s arms.

Turn the paper to the front and draw the face to finish.

A wreath made by connecting folded origami pieces is a perfect origami activity for older kindergarteners in December.

Prepare eight sheets of origami paper cut into quarters.

Fold each piece into a triangle, then fold one of the corners upward.

Make eight pieces using the same folding method, then insert the tip of one piece into the pocket of another to connect them and form a circular wreath.

Mixing colors will create a bright and cute wreath.

Decorating it with stickers or pom-poms is also recommended.

Prepare two sheets of origami paper and cut each into four equal squares.

Take each cut piece, fold the top two corners toward the center, then fold it in half by bringing the left and right edges together.

That completes one part; repeat the same steps for the remaining seven pieces.

After that, simply assemble and glue the parts together to form a wreath.

It’s a very simple wreath, so add a ribbon or draw your favorite patterns with a pen to make it more festive.

It would also look cute decorated with a Santa or snowman made from different origami paper.
