[Easy] Cute Christmas Origami (21–30)
stick candy
A pop and cute-looking stick candy.
Wouldn’t it be perfect for Christmas decorations, too? It’s also nice that you can make it with just one sheet of origami! By first folding back the top right and top left edges of the paper, you can create clean, striped patterns for the stick.
Once the stick is made, the key is to fold it at a right angle twice! It’s an origami project that’s sure to get kids excited as they make it.
Let’s have fun making lots of them with different colors of origami paper.
Gift-shaped message card
It’s a gift-shaped message card that’s perfect not only for Christmas but also for birthdays, celebrations, and anniversaries.
How about sending a cute message with a heartfelt handmade card? The folding method is very simple, so you can enjoy making it with your children.
Since this origami design shows the reverse side on the front, using double-sided origami can change the look and give it a unique finish.
If you pull out the lower part of the gift’s ribbon, the inside will be revealed, so hiding a message inside for a surprise would be wonderful!
3D Christmas tree
Have you ever felt that even after putting up Christmas decorations, the tabletop still looks a bit plain? In times like that, it’s handy to know how to make a 3D Christmas tree out of origami.
Once you master the folding method, it becomes easy to make! It’s perfect for trying together with children, too.
You can also have fun decorating it—like cutting origami paper into star shapes and sticking them on.
Give it a try and create a Christmas tree with a touch of originality.
Christmas boots
Would you like to try making a cute Christmas boot? Place the origami with the colored side facing up, and fold down about 1 cm from the top edge.
Turn the paper over, fold it in half by bringing the left and right edges together to make a crease, then unfold.
Fold the left and right edges in to meet the crease you just made.
Turn the paper over again, and fold the bottom edge up to align with the line at the bottom of the white section.
Align the left and right edges of the folded-up section with the bottom edge, and make diagonal creases in order.
After making the creases, fold the back layer in half horizontally along the center line.
If you fold the top layer together along the creased sections at this point, it will form the shape of a boot!
shortcake
How about getting into the Christmas spirit with a shortcake that everyone loves, from kids to adults? First, fold a sheet of origami paper into a triangle twice, then unfold it.
Fold one corner up to one quarter, flip it over, and fold the left and right sides to the center crease.
Next, flip it over again and fold back the excess portion.
Fold back again leaving a small white strip showing, then fold the left and right sides.
Imagine the white strip as cream, draw a wavy line on it, and cut along that line with scissors.
Attach a piece of red origami cut into a strawberry shape, and you’re done.
It’s nice that this simple folding method makes it easy for small children and seniors to try.
Gift with a ribbon
This is a cute ribbon-topped origami present that brings festive Christmas cheer.
You’ll need 15 cm square origami paper for the box, 7.5 cm square origami paper for the ribbon, glue, scissors, and so on.
First, fold the paper into a triangle twice and unfold.
Next, leaving a small gap from the center, fold all four sides toward the middle.
Flip it over and fold each corner toward the center.
Glue the folded sections so they don’t open, and the box is complete.
Carefully fold the ribbon as well and fix it with glue.
Using Christmas-themed or double-sided origami paper makes it even more fun!
Christmas ornament
Christmas trees can give very different impressions depending on the ornaments, right? So this time, I’m sharing an idea for cute, round ornaments with a pattern in the center.
The creasing step is especially important here—making firm creases will make the later steps much easier.
You’ll open up folded sections and squash them, then use a “zabuton” (cushion) fold to refine the shape as you create the ornament.
There are many steps, but the folding itself is simple, so definitely give it a try!
