Recommended for those who want to make simple New Year’s decorations! Kadomatsu are New Year decorations made with pine and bamboo that are set up at entrances during the holiday, right? Many children have probably seen them while out on walks or outings.

This time, let’s finish it using just one sheet of green origami paper.

The key points are to make firm creases along the lines and to align the corners.

There are many steps where you create a crease and then use it to form the next one, so it would be great to enjoy making it while keeping these points in mind.

Let’s make a snowman with a single sheet of origami!

[Origami] Winter Origami | Easy one-sheet snowman folding tutorial! With a hat for December Christmas decorations

Many kids want to make snowmen in winter, don’t they? Here’s an idea for an origami snowman.

First, fold the top corner of the origami paper into a small triangle and fold it down about 1 cm.

This will be the pom-pom on top of the hat.

Next, tightly roll-fold the right corner twice to create the hat’s white brim.

Fold the paper in half by matching the left and right edges, then fold the brim section back outward to match the width of the rolled folds.

Align the top and bottom to make the paper a square, then lift the top-left corner (two layers) and fold it to the opposite corner.

With the pom-pom at the top, turn the paper over, and fold the lower left and right edges toward the center line.

Open the pocket on the right side and squash-fold it, shaping it into a snowman.

Let’s incorporate the plum blossom—famous as a New Year’s flower—into your New Year’s card design.

Here’s a paper-cutting idea you can enjoy like a craft project.

Fold origami paper following the set steps, draw two curved lines, and cut along them with scissors.

Then slowly unfold the paper, and your plum blossom is complete.

There are only seven folds in total, and two of those are just to make crease lines.

It’s an idea that’s easy for children to make, so please give it a try.

Create plum blossoms in various sizes and colors to make a vibrant New Year’s card.

How to fold a cute Tomte

[Origami] How to fold a cute Christmas ornament (Tomte) – easy method, kid-friendly instructions – December origami [Origami]

Also popular as Christmas decorations! The Nordic gnome “Tomte.” Let’s make the hat with 15 cm origami paper, and the face and body with 7.5 cm origami paper.

First, fold the hat paper into a triangle to make a crease.

Next, fold the bottom corner up so it aligns slightly below the crease.

Fold it up again along the center crease to form a triangle, then turn it over and fold the left and right corners up to meet the top corner.

Fold the lower left and right edges inward so they meet at the center, and the hat is done.

Next, fold the face paper into a triangle to make a crease, then fold the two top edges down to meet the crease.

Open up the overlapped center and squash it to form the nose.

Fold the tip of the nose slightly to round it, then turn the paper over and fold the corner above the nose slightly inward to make a crease.

Insert the part under the hat, aligning the crease with the bottom edge of the hat, and fold both sides of the face to match the sides of the hat.

The white part left showing is the beard.

Fold the left, right, and bottom corners of the body paper inward, then attach it to the face to finish.

For winter childcare! Origami oden

Perfect for winter preschool crafts! We tried making oden with origami ♪ #shorts

Let’s make oden out of origami, with three items—konnyaku, daikon, and chikuwa—skewered on a stick.

First, fold a gray sheet of origami paper twice to make a small triangle, draw a pattern, and you’ll have the konnyaku.

Next, fold a yellow sheet using the “cushion fold,” then fold all four corners inward to round it out; draw a cross-shaped slit to finish the daikon.

For the chikuwa, draw a pattern on brown origami paper and roll it into a tube shape.

Finally, fold another sheet into a long, thin skewer and attach the three pieces you made.

Your oden is complete!

Let’s try folding a mikan (mandarin orange)!

[Origami] Let’s fold a mandarin orange! A winter fruit.

Let’s express sweet, delicious winter mandarins with origami.

We’ll make it with two folds to create creases and four folds to give it a round shape.

Place the origami paper with the white side facing up, and first fold it into a triangle twice by matching the diagonals.

Open it after making the creases, then fold each of the four corners inward by about 3 cm along the crease lines.

Finally, attach a green round sticker as the stem to finish.

It’s also fine to cut a stem out of origami paper.

Drawing dotted patterns with a pen will make it look even more like a mandarin.
