Make it with origami! A simple Christmas tree

Stick pieces onto the wall and you’re done! Here’s a wall decoration idea with simple steps.
Prepare green-toned origami paper, red origami, yellow origami, brown origami, blue-toned origami, tape, scissors, and so on.
Use green origami cut into triangles to create the base of a Christmas tree.
Combining not only green but also light green and dark green will add depth to the colors.
It’s also recommended to make paper-cut snowflakes to decorate—this adds a nice seasonal touch!

Construction paper Christmas wreath

It would be wonderful if we could make a three-dimensional Christmas wreath using construction paper.
Let’s create a gorgeous, eye-catching wall display that makes you look forward to the Christmas season! You’ll need construction paper in various colors, scissors, a craft knife, glue, paste, tape, and so on.
One of the great things is that you can customize the method, size, and design.
How about making it together with the kids—perhaps a colorful tree, or a tree that looks snow-covered by using cotton? Wishing you a fun and festive Christmas!
Three-dimensional Christmas tree wall

Even if you can’t display a real Christmas tree, this is a lovely idea to brighten up your room.
When you think of Christmas, many people probably picture a tree, right? This time, let’s make a three-dimensional, charming Christmas tree using construction paper.
The materials you’ll need are green construction paper, red construction paper (and other colors if you like), a template, scissors, a stapler, glue, and a ruler.
It’s also fine to choose any colors you like for the construction paper besides green.
Since some steps in making the tree involve small, detailed work, it’s best for children to do this together with a teacher or guardian.
Easy paper-plate Christmas tree

First, fold a paper plate and cut along the crease to divide it into four equal parts.
Tear green origami paper into small pieces, as you would for a collage, and paste them on to represent the leaves of a Christmas tree.
If you layer and attach the paper plate pieces with double-sided tape, you’ll create bumps and add a three-dimensional effect.
Stick on stickers in your favorite colors to light up the tree, then add a star ornament at the top.
Finally, make a trunk with orange origami paper and attach it, and your Christmas tree is complete.
It’s a Christmas craft that uses simple materials but can be made festive with a bit of creativity.
Cute Minnie Santa origami

Let’s make a Minnie Santa with origami! It’s cute to stick on the wall as is, and it would also look great combined with other Christmas-themed origami pieces to create a garland or hanging decoration.
First, use one sheet of origami paper to make the face, body, and hat.
Then use several other sheets to make the ears, bow, and scarf.
Since there are parts that require cutting, prepare scissors, a pen for drawing the face, and glue for assembly.
There aren’t any complicated steps, but because you’ll be putting several pieces together, fold each part carefully, one by one.
Poinsettia Christmas tree
Why not try making a tree together by dividing the process into different steps? The main tasks include crumpling tissue paper, cutting materials, folding and finishing them, and assembling the pieces.
Even a project that might seem time-consuming and difficult for one person can become a meaningful memory when everyone works together to create something.
Let’s make the most of each person’s strengths and complete a dazzling tree that you’ll want to look at forever.
It will surely be a Christmas that stays in your heart.
A Christmas present you can make with just one sheet!

Let me show you how to make a present box with a ribbon.
Place the colored side of the origami paper facing up and fold it in half horizontally to make a crease in the center.
Open it, then fold the top and bottom edges inward by about 1 cm.
Turn the paper over and fold the top and bottom edges to meet the center crease.
Rotate the paper vertically, then turn it over again and fold down the top edge by about 2 cm.
Open and squash the white section in the center of the folded part to form the ribbon, then fold up the bottom edge and tuck it under the ribbon.
Your present box is complete!
