Christmas rose

Hellebores take time to bloom, and they’re often thought of as plants that don’t flower.
However, they are actually plants that produce beautiful blossoms during the cold Christmas season.
Let’s try making this flower with origami, which will brighten up Christmas in a range of colors, mainly pinks and whites.
The idea is to create star-shaped points using reverse folds, then fold them sideways to recreate the overlapping petals and soft appearance.
By paying attention to the finer steps to give it a three-dimensional finish, and by making good use of the white on the back side of the paper, you can create a beautiful hellebore.
Try different colors and incorporate them into your Christmas decorations.
Poinsettia wreath

Making a poinsettia wreath sounds wonderful! Here’s an introduction to a poinsettia wreath made with red and green origami.
The key is to crease the paper, open it up, and fold it again.
By layering and gluing together the two origami parts in green and red, you’ll create a three-dimensional wall decoration.
Folding origami engages both the mind and the hands, so it can help stimulate the brain as well.
The finished wreath is perfect for displaying on a facility wall, and it’s also great to take home and decorate your room.
It’s sure to be a lovely time, enjoying the Christmas atmosphere while crafting with joy.
Poinsettia wall decoration

This decoration features a poinsettia—an essential motif for Christmas—made by layering leaf parts in red and green.
Fold origami and cut it to create six-directional leaf pieces, then make them in different sizes and stack them to add a three-dimensional feel.
Adding a small indentation in the center gives it a realistic look that seems to spread outward.
It’s also recommended to try variations such as using crepe paper to change the overall mood, or putting extra care into decorating the backing board to which it’s attached.
Christmas wreath at the mall

Introducing an easy-to-make Christmas wreath that only requires twisting pipe cleaners from a 100-yen shop.
This craft uses your fingertips extensively, making it effective for fine-motor rehab for seniors! Why not include it in your preparations for Christmas events? To make it, overlap the ends of two pipe cleaners and twist them together, then clamp a pen, straw, or battery between the pipe cleaners and twist two or three times.
Repeat this process, and once you’ve wrapped to the end, form a circle and twist the two ends together to connect—done! Adding ribbon-shaped pipe cleaners or decorative stickers will make it even more festive.
Try making it with your favorite colors and get into the Christmas spirit.

Christmas wreath made with pipe cleaners

This is a cute, small Christmas wreath made by forming a circle with softly coiled pipe cleaners.
Since the goal is to create a tiny finished piece, it naturally draws attention to fine finger movements and focus on handwork.
Make parts of uniform length by wrapping a pipe cleaner around a pencil, then thread those parts onto a single pipe cleaner that serves as the wreath base.
It’s important to pay attention to the length of each part and carefully shape everything into a neat circle.
Because the base is a small wreath, it’s recommended to use small decorations like stickers or beads.
Christmas tree wall decoration made with origami

Let’s decorate your walls with a must-have Christmas item—a tree—to build excitement for the season.
The key is to layer pieces cut from three sheets of origami paper to clearly convey the tree’s three-dimensional feel.
Fold the origami into a triangular screen shape, trim the edges, and attach the pieces while keeping the stepped layers in mind.
Adding wooden pieces and ornaments helps make it unmistakably a Christmas tree.
You can use a single tree as a decorative accent, or line several up to create a large tree—there are many ways to use this idea.
3D poinsettia with origami

Introducing a three-dimensional origami poinsettia to get you in the Christmas spirit! It’s perfect for holiday decorations and as a tree ornament.
The key to this origami is to proceed while making crisp, precise creases.
Because it’s shaped in 3D, some of the intricate steps and fine folds may be challenging.
For a glamorous finish, decorate the center of the flower with a gold bead! Make plenty to arrange into a wreath, or use them as casual gifts.
