Kagamimochi made from a single sheet of origami paper

Perfect for New Year crafts! Here’s an idea for making a kagami mochi using a single sheet of origami.

You will need one sheet of orange origami paper, as well as green, red, and brown origami paper, plus scissors and glue.

[Origami] Reindeer [Easy] [Ages 3 and up] [Christmas Craft]

Recommended for 5-year-olds! Here’s a simple way to fold a reindeer using two sheets of origami paper.

First, with a corner facing you, fold into a triangle twice, then open once.

Fold the top corner down to meet the bottom edge, and fold the left and right corners upward.

Fold the upper left and right edges toward the center, then fold the tip back at an angle you like to form the antlers.

Fold the very tip slightly to finish the face.

Next, use the second sheet to make the body.

Fold into a triangle twice, then unfold once.

Fold only the top layer down so it extends slightly past the bottom edge, then fold the left and right corners in so the part that sticks out becomes the center.

Flip it over, fold the top section down to make a crease, then use that crease to fold the corners twice.

Fold the whole piece in half so the folded corners face outward, and finally attach the face to finish!
