Just four folds! Here’s a simple Christmas tree idea you can make with a few easy steps.
First, fold the origami paper into a triangle, crease well, then unfold.
Rotate the paper so the crease runs vertically, and fold the two bottom edges in to meet the crease.
Finally, fold down the remaining top triangular flap, and you’re done! Flip the origami upside down, and it will look like a tree.
Decorate it with sparkly stickers or draw your favorite patterns with a pen to finish it beautifully!

Let me show you how to make a sled that’s finished in just four folds! First, fold the origami paper into a triangle.
Fold up the base of the triangle by about 1 centimeter, flip the paper over, and fold the top corner of the triangle down to the base.
Flip the paper over once more, then fold the right side in toward the back—and you’re done! How far you fold it is up to you, but for good balance, imagine there’s a rectangle in the center of the paper and fold in the parts that stick out from it.
The trick is to fold it slightly at an angle; it looks more like a sled than if you fold it straight.
Santa’s hat
https://www.tiktok.com/@aninstagram_chiiku/video/7179885040640199938Let’s make a cute little Santa hat that you can even put on a small doll! Fold the origami into a square, crease it well, then open it once.
Fold the top and bottom left corners in toward the center.
Flip the paper over, and place it so the triangle points upward.
Fold up the bottom edge just a little to create the hat’s white trim.
Flip the paper over again, fold both sides inward so they overlap, forming a triangle.
Finally, fold up the white section that sticks out from the triangle, and you’re done! Santa hats are usually red, but they look cute in any color.
Santa Claus
https://www.tiktok.com/@poccle/video/7436375902193306888Let’s make Santa Claus out of origami, a symbol of Christmas.
First, fold the paper into a triangle, crease it well, then unfold it.
Rotate the paper so the crease runs vertically, and fold the bottom edge up to meet the two crease lines.
Fold the bottom corner up to the top corner, flip the paper over, and fold the top corner down to the bottom edge.
Flip it over again, and fold both sides inward so they don’t stick out beyond the triangle.
Your Santa Claus is complete! It will look even cuter if you add some variations, like making layered beard folds or bending the hat.
Christmas wreath made with 8 sheets of origami paper
https://www.tiktok.com/@origami_jp/video/7435079209267023112Here’s an idea for a Christmas wreath made using eight sheets of origami paper.
This explains how to make the wreath base, so please make the decorations separately with other origami paper.
Fold all eight sheets the same way to create the parts, then connect them to form the wreath.
To make each part, fold the origami paper into a triangle, then fold the right corner up to meet the top corner.
After folding eight pieces the same way, insert the left corner of the second piece into the folded-up triangular section of the first piece.
Repeat this to connect all eight pieces, then glue them together.
At each joint between parts, shift and fold so that the folded-up triangular sections line up with one another.
Flip the wreath over, tuck any protruding corners inward, and you’re done!
House with a chimney

When you see a snowy, triangular-roofed house, many of you might think of Christmas, right? Here’s an idea for making a house with a triangular roof.
There’s a step at the beginning where you create crease lines, so proceed carefully.
With the colored side facing up, fold the top two corners inward twice to form the roof.
Fold up the bottom edge about 1 cm, then turn the paper over and fold the left and right edges to meet the vertical center line.
Unfold the left side, then fold it again along the front vertical crease in the same way.
Next, fold the right edge upward along the crease located just below the roof.
Fold the left edge inward along the crease once more to create the chimney.
Finally, fold up the bottom part of the paper so the chimney sticks out from the roof, and you’re done!
Santa’s message card

Here’s a cute message card idea featuring a little Santa perched on top.
It’s made from a single sheet of origami paper.
First, you fold the Santa, then tuck in the unnecessary sections to form the message card area.
Basically, you’ll fold along the crease lines, so there aren’t any complicated steps.
However, you’ll need to make some fine creases—like the white part of Santa’s hat—so proceed carefully to keep your folds straight even in narrow sections.
Once it’s finished, draw Santa’s face and write your message to complete it!
Roast chicken

When it comes to Christmas feasts, chicken is a classic.
Many children enjoy bone-in chicken on Christmas, too.
This time, we’ll introduce an idea for a perfect Christmas-themed roast chicken! You can make it from a single sheet of origami paper, using the white side for the handle and the brown side to represent the chicken.
There are steps where you’ll need to create creases at the beginning and during the process, so be sure to make each crease carefully without forgetting any.
Since there are steps like folding diagonally, opening, and flattening, it’s best for an adult to help guide children as they work.
Clapping Santa

Here’s an idea for a Santa Claus that can clap his hands! First, fold the origami paper in half into a square twice, then open it after making the crease lines.
Fold the left and right edges to match the vertical crease, and the top and bottom edges to match the horizontal crease.
Squash the pocket-like sections at the top and bottom into boat shapes, then squash both sides of the top and bottom boats into squares.
Place the origami so it forms a diamond shape, and take the top layer of the squares on the left and right—roll-fold them thinly outward from the corners.
These will be Santa’s arms.
The top square will be the head, so make a small cut, then roll it similarly to form the hat, and draw the face with a pen.
When playing, puff up the sleeves, hold Santa’s head, and try pulling the bottom corner!
Gingerbread Man
@origamiplaza♬ Original Song – Origami Plaza ❁ origami-plaza – Origami Plaza ❁ origami-plaza
Let’s make a gingerbread man out of origami, just like the classic Christmas cookies! You can make this with a single sheet of origami paper, but you’ll need scissors to cut slits when forming the legs.
Basically, you’ll create the head and limbs by folding along the crease lines.
Early on, there’s a step where you line up the adjacent edges with the center line, fold them over, and then open up the overlapped section into a pocket and flatten it.
That part can be a bit tricky, so try doing it together with an adult.
