Origami [Origami] Easy winter origami, origami Christmas, presents, also great as Christmas ornaments

Here’s a recommended origami gift you can make with a single sheet, perfect for 4-year-olds! First, place the paper color-side down and fold it into a triangle twice to make creases.

Fold all four corners toward the center, leaving a small gap between them.

Flip it over, then fold the four corners to the center again.

Cut along the gap at one spot with scissors, open the two corners into little pockets, and squash-fold them.

Fold the lower corner of the squashed part up at a diagonal so that a tiny bit sticks out—this creates the ribbon.

Flip it over, and you’re done! It also looks cute as an ornament, so try making it in different colors.

reindeer

Origami Reindeer / How to fold an origami reindeer

When you think of winter, it’s all about reindeer! Here’s an idea for making a reindeer using a single sheet of origami paper.

First, fold the paper into a triangle, then fold down just the top layer of the top corner by about 2 centimeters.

Flip the paper over and fold both corners diagonally downward.

Be careful not to fold the top corner, and try to line up the left and right sides neatly—that’s the key.

Finally, fold up the part that sticks out at the bottom, and you’re done! It’s okay if it’s a little off; just have fun folding it so it becomes as triangular as possible.

Draw the face and antlers to finish your cute reindeer!
