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!

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!

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.

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.

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!
