Simple: A roundup of origami ideas perfect for Christmas

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.

Wall-mounted Christmas tree made with origami

Easy Origami Christmas Tree Wall Decoration (with voice narration)

A Christmas tree made up of small trees looks so festive.

The origami folds are very simple: first fold it in half into a triangle, then fold both sides toward the center line.

Fold the flaps at the center outward.

Align with the mountain fold line, fold it in half so the colored side faces out, then fold it downward.

When using scissors, the key is to cut from the corners at a diagonal, rounding as you go.

Glue two accordion-style trees together with a slight offset, then attach the trunk to finish.

If you’re layering three pieces, adjust where you cut to keep the balance.

It might look even more festive if you change up the origami patterns as you make them.

Santa wrapping

Let’s make Santa-themed wrapping that can hold small sweets or gifts.

With the colored side of the origami paper facing up, fold up the bottom edge by 1 cm.

Flip the paper over and fold up the bottom edge by 1 cm again in the same way.

Flip the paper over once more, then fold up the bottom edge again.

Make sure this fold is narrower than the remaining width above it.

Turn the paper over, fold the left and right edges inward so they overlap, then glue to form a bag.

Close the opening so it is perpendicular to the bottom to finish.

Draw Santa’s face on the white part to complete the look.

It only takes seven folds to make, so it’s a worry-free idea when you want to create many.

First, place the origami with the white side up, fold it into a triangle to make a crease, then unfold.

Fold the two left edges in along the crease.

With the white triangle at the bottom, fold the paper in half, matching the top and bottom corners.

Fold the white triangular section back outward, then tuck the parts sticking out on the left and right to the back, and you’re done.

Stick Santa

Easy! Playable Christmas Origami [Santa Claus & Reindeer Stick] Origami Santa Claus

Here’s how to make a “Santa-stick” you can enjoy at Christmas.

Fold the origami paper in half into a triangle twice, matching the diagonals, then open it with the white side facing up.

Fold the left and right corners inward so their tips land slightly outside the center line.

Flip the paper over and fold it in half, matching the top and bottom corners.

Take one layer of the top corner and fold it down to meet the bottom edge; then fold it back along the crease and return the folded-down part to the top.

Slightly fold the bottom left and right corners to the back, and you’re done.

Use pens or stickers to draw the face and outfit, and finally attach a stick.

You can make the stick by rolling up a piece of origami that’s been folded into a triangle.
