Make it with origami! Pinecone wreath

[Craft Idea] Christmas Wreath with Origami Pine Cones (December Winter Christmas) (Wall Decoration) (Activities for Seniors, Day Service, Occupational Therapy, Childcare) (Origami DIY)

It’s an idea for a wreath made not with real pinecones, but with pinecones crafted from origami.

First, crumple the origami paper once to add wrinkles and texture.

Then cut it in half, glue the pieces so they form a wide rectangle, and fold it in half so the top and bottom edges overlap.

Make fine slits along the looped edge, then roll it up tightly to complete the pinecone.

Make the leaves and red berries from origami as well.

Finally, attach the leaves to a wreath base made from thick cardstock, and decorate it with the pinecones and red berries to finish.

Sirius

I’ll show you how to make an easy Sirius star using a single sheet of origami paper! First, fold the paper to create fine crease lines, then unfold.

Fold it in half by bringing the top and bottom corners together, then fold it in half horizontally to make a square.

Open one side and squash it into a triangle.

Flip it over and squash-fold the other side into a triangle the same way.

Next, fold the top part of the triangle so that the corners meet.

Fold the left and right corners toward the center, then fold the front layer downward.

Tuck the folded part into the triangular pocket.

Flip it over and repeat the same folds on the other side.

Finally, blow into it to inflate, and shape it along the creases into a star—done!

tree box

You can make a cute tree box with two sheets of origami paper.

For the box part, use a slightly smaller sheet by trimming two edges 5 mm each.

The tree part can be regular size.

For both sheets, fold twice into triangles and twice into squares to make crease lines, then collapse them into the form where two squares overlap.

Fold the box part using the same steps as for a standard candy box.

For the tree, first make a center crease on the square so that two triangles form, then squash the four pocket sections.

Fold all the small triangular flaps inward, collapse it into a square pyramid, and you’re done! Stack the box and the tree, and decorate with stars and ornaments.

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.
