Star-shaped Santa Claus

I’ll show you how to fold a cute Santa Claus using just one sheet of origami paper! You’ll need one sheet of origami paper and a pen.

First, fold the paper into a triangle twice.

Unfold it, then fold two corners in to meet the center, and open one of the flaps.

Fold the tip of the opened corner up to align with the folded side, then fold the bottom part up to the top crease.

Fold the tip downward to reveal the white side.

Tuck it under the top triangular section, and fold the tip of the top triangle so the white side shows as well.

Unfold the part you just folded, and make a small triangle along the crease.

Next, fold the bottom section up.

This creates Santa’s face and hat.

Finally, fold the sides and the bottom to match Santa’s triangle shape, and you’re done! Draw any face you like.
