stick candy

Stick candies shaped like canes are a Christmas classic—used not only as treats to eat but also as decorations.
This content shows how to make those colorful stick candies using origami.
The method involves tightly rolling the origami, alternating between colored and white sections.
The way you roll is the most important point: keeping each stripe the same width leads to a beautiful result.
Finally, bend it to look like a stick and add some dimensionality, and it’s complete.

Christmas tree

How about making a fluffy, stylish Christmas tree using tissue paper? First, cut tissue paper in your favorite color into a rectangular piece about one-quarter the original size, then fold it in half lengthwise to make it long and narrow.
Make lots of slits along the folded edge.
After cutting the slits, open it up once, fold it back in the opposite direction of the original crease, and glue it in place.
Make several of these, then take a cone-shaped tree base made from construction paper and wrap and glue the tissue paper around it in tiers.
Finally, decorate with beads and stickers, and you’re done.
You’ll end up with a very whimsical, cute tree, so give it a try!
spiral hanging ornament

It’s a decorative piece with uniquely beautiful curves, created by twisting and joining long, thin strips cut from origami paper.
First, fold the paper to make creases, then cut along those creases; fold the top into a triangle so it’s ready for gluing later.
Next, glue the triangular folds together, twist each strip, and finally glue the bottom ends to finish.
The impression will change depending on the color of origami you choose and how tightly you twist it.
Combining multiple colors also gives it a more luxurious look, so it’s highly recommended.
Fluffy tissue-paper poinsettia wall decoration

Let’s softly craft a poinsettia—an essential for Christmas—using tissue paper.
Fold the tissue paper in an accordion (screen-fold) style, then fold it in half, secure the center, cut it, and gently open it while adding creases to shape the leaves.
Make these pieces with both red and green tissue paper, layer and glue them together, and place yellow in the center to finish.
The angle of each leaf is also important; because they spread softly in various directions, the piece gains a strong three-dimensional presence.
It would look beautiful not only as a wall decoration but also as a tabletop ornament.
holly garland

This is a small garland featuring holly leaves, an essential motif for Christmas.
Cut green construction paper into holly leaf shapes, pierce them with a needle threaded at both ends, and connect each piece to complete it.
Precisely because it’s simple, pay close attention to color choices, arrangement, and the spacing of the thread between pieces.
Since the parts are small, it’s easy to use as decoration on a tree and more.
Try layering two strands or arranging them in curves for creative display options.
Fluffy Wreath

This charming wreath features a soft look created with faux fur, evoking a gentle winter landscape.
The main step is wrapping yarn around the wreath base, so proceed with attention to concentration and smooth finger movements.
Wrap the yarn around the entire base and secure both ends with glue to complete the foundation.
Then, decorate the base with winter- and Christmas-inspired motifs such as ribbons and snowmen.
White motifs that match the base create a sense of unity, while bright Christmas-colored motifs stand out nicely.
We recommend choosing colors to suit the place where you’ll display it.
Christmas flag

It’s a simple decoration made of colorful triangles lined up in a row.
Flags may often evoke the image of a sports day, but by focusing on Christmas colors—red, green, and white—and incorporating winter motifs, you can create a strong festive atmosphere.
The steps are simple: take a square sheet of origami paper, fold it into a triangle to make a crease, and use that crease as a guide to create a long, narrow triangle.
Another important point is to prepare the opposite side of the triangle so that you can thread a string through it at the end.
