This idea uses six sheets of quarter-size origami paper.

Fold each sheet in half twice to make a small triangle.

Starting from the folded edge, make three evenly spaced cuts parallel to the triangle’s base.

Be careful not to cut all the way through.

Gently open the paper, then first glue together the top and bottom corners of the innermost layer.

Skip one and glue the third set of corners in the same way, then flip the paper over.

Next, glue the second and fourth sets of corners together.

Once you have six identical pieces, attach the ends to each other to complete the snowflake.

It can also be used as a wall decoration for December! How to fold a wreath

[Preschool Crafts] Easy Christmas Wreath with Origami! Perfect for December Wall Displays!

Here’s an idea for a wreath made by connecting paper parts.

This will be just the base, so if you want decorations, make them separately and glue them on.

First, prepare two sheets of 15 cm origami paper and cut each into four equal squares to make them square.

You’ll use these eight pieces to make the parts.

Take each quarter piece, fold the left and right edges toward the center to crease, then open it.

Next, fold the bottom left and right corners up to the center crease to make triangles, then fold the paper in half along the crease.

That completes one part, so make the remaining seven the same way.

To connect them, apply glue to the pointed tip of one part and tuck it inside the other part.

It will form a slightly spiky circle, like a holly wreath.

Just three folds! How to fold a sled

[Origami] Sleigh [Easy! From age 3] [Christmas craft]

Besides reindeer, Santa can’t do without a sleigh, right? And amazingly, you can make this sleigh with just about three folds.

Prepare origami paper in your favorite color, and first fold it into a triangle.

Then fold a very narrow strip along the long edge upward.

Flip it over, fold the tip that’s sticking up downward, flip it back to the front, and you’re done! That’s three steps total, but if you like, fold about one quarter of either end toward the back to turn it into a sleigh with a backrest—highly recommended.

Feel free to decorate your sleigh by drawing on it or adding stickers as you like!

Cute and easy reindeer

[Origami] Reindeer [Easy] [Ages 3 and up] [Christmas Craft]

Reindeer origami, perfect for Christmas decorations, can be made with two sheets of beige origami paper.

First, for the reindeer’s head, fold the paper into a triangle twice, then open up the second fold.

Fold the large top corner downward, and fold both side corners toward the center crease.

Next, fold both sides in toward the middle again, then fold the top section diagonally to form the antlers, and the head is complete.

For the body, do the same as with the head: fold into a triangle twice and open the second fold.

From the large top corner, fold down only the top layer so it sticks out slightly at the bottom, then fold both sides toward the part you just folded down.

Fold the remaining white section into a long, narrow strip, then fold the whole piece in half to finish.

Combine it with the head, draw the reindeer’s face, or add stickers, and you’re done!

Cute and easy mittens

Nursery Ideas: Winter Origami — Easy Mitten Origami (Kids Can Make It Themselves!) · Origami Gloves Easy

Let’s make gloves out of two sheets of origami paper to protect children’s hands from the cold and snow.

First, fold the paper in half twice to make a small square, crease well, and open it up.

Place the paper with the colored side facing up, then fold the bottom edge up to meet the crease.

Fold the left edge of the folded section diagonally to the bottom edge to make a triangle, then unfold it.

Next, fold the bottom edge up along the crease you just made, and perform a squash fold along that crease.

Turn the paper over and fold the left and right edges toward the center.

When you do this, align the two bottom corners together, but leave a small gap between the two top corners.

Fold the top two corners in to meet the center line, then fold the top corner down slightly.

Finally, take the lower right corner that you folded together earlier and fold it back outward, and you’re done.

When making the glove for the other hand, create the first triangle on the opposite side.

Cute! Christmas tree ornament

[Origami] A Christmas Tree to Make with a 3-Year-Old ☆ Ornaments ☆ Origami Christmas Tree

A small, cute Christmas tree made of origami is easy to display and also handy as a tree ornament! First, fold the origami paper into a triangle and open it.

Fold both sides in toward the crease you made.

Then fold the remaining white sections in toward the same crease to cover them.

Place the paper vertically with the most recently folded sections on the bottom.

Fold up from the bottom to the center once, then fold up again toward the top.

Fold the excess back down so it sticks out slightly, then adjust the shape so that this section forms a neat square, and you’re done.

Finish by adding a star made from another piece of origami paper, or decorate with round stickers or pens!

Perfect for Christmas! How to fold a bell

[Origami] How to fold a bell [Easy] [From age 3]

Here’s how to make a bell that even 3-year-olds can try.

First, fold the origami paper in half into a square twice, crease well, then open it with the white side facing up.

Next, fold the top left and right corners toward the center, flip the paper over, and fold up the bottom edge by about 1 cm.

Turn it back to the front, then fold the top corner down to meet the center crease.

It’s fine if the tip of the triangle sticks out slightly at the bottom.

Fold the upper left and right corners diagonally toward the center so they overlap and form a bell shape.

Finally, fold the two top corners inward to neaten the shape, and you’re done.
