[Easy] Cute Christmas Origami (11–20)
An easy flat Christmas tree
Here’s a Christmas tree you can make with simple steps.
Basically, you fold straight along the creases, with just two places where you’ll do a pleat fold.
First, fold the origami paper into a triangle to make a crease, then open it.
Fold the two left edges in toward the crease.
Rotate the paper so that the newly formed point is at the bottom, then fold the bottom point up to meet the top point.
Next, make a pleat fold to fold it downward, swap the top and bottom of the paper, and turn it over.
Fold the lower triangle upward, then make another pleat fold.
Finally, fold up the bottom point by about 2 cm, and you’re done.
Draw a mesh pattern on the bottom part of the tree.
A cute cake made from a single sheet of origami
In December, lots of kids eat cake, right? This is an origami project, and you can make a very delicious-looking shortcake.
First, fold the origami paper into a triangle to make a crease, then open it up.
With the colored side facing up, place the paper so the crease runs vertically.
Fold up the bottom corner to create the strawberry part.
Turn the paper over and fold the lower left and right edges in to meet the crease.
Fold the top triangular section down, then flip the paper over and fold up the section you folded first so that about half of it sticks out at the top.
Turn the paper to the front, cut the white section in a wavy line to represent the cream, then fold the left and right corners to the back to make a rectangle.
Finally, fold the protruding top section forward to finish.
Color the strawberry red and add seeds or patterns.
Easy Origami! Cute Socks
A stocking for Santa Claus to put presents in.
They’re also popular as room decorations and ornaments.
Here’s an idea for making a stocking with a single sheet of origami paper.
With the colored side up, fold the top edge down about 1 cm.
Turn the paper over and fold the left and right edges inward so they meet at the center.
Fold the bottom edge up to meet the top edge, then fold the left edge of the top layer down to align with the bottom edge.
Don’t forget to fold the small white triangle, too.
Fold the paper in half so the center becomes a mountain fold, with the right side of the paper facing up.
Open the pocket on the top layer and squash it to form a boot shape.
Finally, fold the tip of the boot into a small triangle to round it off, and you’re done.
gift box
It’s exciting to think about what to put inside a treasure chest-like gift box, isn’t it? Why not try making a small box using origami in Christmas colors? Prepare one sheet of origami paper in your favorite color for the outer box and one for the inner box.
The key is to make firm creases as you fold! It might be easier if you secure parts with glue or paste as you go.
Ask an adult to help with the finer details! Add ribbons or star patterns to make it perfect for Christmas.
A simple wreath that only takes two folds
How about making a wreath with the kids as a decoration for Christmas? It’s a simple process, yet you’ll end up with a beautiful wreath! Fold an origami sheet twice to create eight parts, connect them together, and your origami wreath is complete! By slightly changing where you fold, you can freely alter the shape.
Kids will love it too.
It’s also fun to use solid-and-patterned or patterned-and-patterned origami, and to decorate with stickers or craft embellishments.
It’ll make a great winter memory, so give it a try!
A Santa Claus that can be folded in 5 minutes
Origami is easy for children to try, so it’s perfect as a preschool teaching material too! Using origami, here’s a Santa Claus that even kids can make easily.
This Santa can stand on its own, so it might be fun to make a bunch and decorate your room.
There are no difficult steps, and it’s super simple—you can fold it in about five minutes—so kids will master it quickly! Draw any face you like at the end to make it cute.
If you use origami in different colors, patterns, and sizes, you can create a lively family of Santas.

Christmas wreath
A cute Christmas wreath you can make with origami.
Let’s create wreath bases, Santa Claus, stockings, presents, ribbons, candy canes, and other perfect Christmas items out of origami.
The steps are simple enough for preschoolers and kindergarteners, so why not have each child make one and brighten up the wall display? Aside from the origami used for Santa, it’s fun to choose your favorite colors to add a personal touch.
It might be hard to finish in a single day, so work on it a little each day and complete a wonderful wreath.
