Easy Cute Christmas Origami

20 years of experience as a nursery teacher / kindergarten teacherhiyoko sensei
I’m Hiyoko-sensei, a former nursery school teacher from Hyogo Prefecture. Ever since I was five, my dream was to become a childcare worker, and before I knew it, 20 years had passed since I achieved that dream. Through singing and playing with the children, I kept working with the spirit of someone in their twenties, even as I increasingly felt my physical limits year by year (haha). From here on, I’d like to share helpful information carefully and thoughtfully, drawing on my on-site experience.

Origami is a craft that people of all ages can enjoy and easily get into.

Because it involves fine finger movements, it’s also a great recreational activity for seniors as a way to exercise their hands and fingers.

With the Christmas season just around the corner, how about folding some Christmas-themed items with origami and having fun?

In this article, we introduce simple and cute Christmas origami you can fold with ease.

Try making them with your children or when friends get together!

Let’s make a Santa finger puppet you can wear on your finger! Fold the origami paper into a triangle, crease well, then open it.

Next, fold the two edges on the left side in toward the center crease.

Rotate the paper so the white triangular section is at the top, then fold the bottom corner up to meet the top corner.

Flip the paper over and fold the top corner down to meet the bottom edge.

Only fold the top layer.

Fold down the newly made crease by about 5 mm, then flip the paper over again.

Finally, fold any parts that stick out from the triangle inward, and you’re done.

Draw Santa’s face to finish it cutely!

Let’s make a Christmas-themed gift box! First, fold the origami paper in half to make a rectangle.

Crease well, then unfold it, and fold the top and bottom edges inward by about 1 cm.

Flip the paper over, and fold the top and bottom edges toward the center crease.

Rotate the paper so it’s vertical, then fold back the two corners at the bottom center outward.

Use the two corners of the rectangle, and make sure the folded-back sections form scalene triangles.

Flip the paper over and fold up the bottom edge by about 1.5–2 cm.

Swap the top and bottom and do the same on the other side.

Finally, fold up the bottom so the paper becomes a square and glue it in place to finish!
