Simple: A roundup of origami ideas perfect for Christmas

Easy! Christmas candles

[Origami] Super easy way to fold a Christmas candle! Recommended for preschoolers aged 3–4 in daycare or kindergarten [Origami World]

Lighting candles is a Christmas classic, so how about making a candle as a December origami idea? Place the red side of the origami paper facing up, and fold the bottom corner up to the center.

From there, roll it upward, leaving a bit of the top corner visible.

The remaining top corner will be the candle flame.

Flip the paper over, then fold both the left and right sides inward twice to make it narrow, and you’re done.

Since the folded parts can pop up if left as is, it’s safer to secure them with tape or glue.

cute Santa hat

[Preschool Craft] Make It with Origami! Easy Santa Hat | Origami Easy Santa Hat

Let’s make a Santa hat and get into the Christmas spirit.

With the white side of the origami paper facing up, fold the top left and right corners in toward the center.

Turn the paper over, fold up the bottom edge by about 1 cm, then turn it over again.

Fold both sides inward so they overlap in the center, and tuck in the corners that stick out at the bottom.

You can leave it as is, but if you fold the tip of the hat diagonally downward, it adds a cute sense of movement.

You can also stick a white circular piece on the tip to make a pom-pom.

Great for practicing glue, too! Cute snowman

[Christmas Origami] Easy and Cute Snowman Made with One Sheet of Origami / How to Fold an Origami Snowman

Here’s an idea for a snowman with a hat and a scarf.

You’ll make it in two parts—hat and head, scarf and body.

Use two sheets of origami paper, each 15 × 7.5 cm.

We’ll start with the head, so place the paper vertically.

Fold the bottom edge up to about four-thirds of the overall height, then fold about 1 cm back down, and fold back up about 5 mm.

Turn the paper over, fold the left and right edges to meet at the center, then squash the pocketed sections into triangles.

The opened area will be the face and the remaining red area will be the hat, so shape the face into a circle and the hat into a triangle.

For the body, fold about 1 cm along one short edge to make the scarf section, then fold the paper in half so the scarf shows on the front.

With the scarf at the top, turn the paper over and fold the top left and right corners diagonally inward.

Finally, round off the lower white section to complete the body.

Glue the parts together and draw the face to finish.

Fold the two left edges in toward the crease.

Rotate the paper so that the newly formed point is at the bottom, then fold the bottom point up to meet the top point.

Next, make a pleat fold to fold it downward, swap the top and bottom of the paper, and turn it over.

Fold the lower triangle upward, then make another pleat fold.

Finally, fold up the bottom point by about 2 cm, and you’re done.

Draw a mesh pattern on the bottom part of the tree.

Place the white side of the origami paper facing up, fold it in half by matching the top and bottom edges to make a crease, then open it.

Fold the top and bottom edges inward by about 1 centimeter.

Flip the paper over and fold the top and bottom edges to meet the center crease.

Easy Origami! Cute Socks

[Preschool Craft] Easy and cute socks with origami!

A stocking for Santa Claus to put presents in.

They’re also popular as room decorations and ornaments.

Here’s an idea for making a stocking with a single sheet of origami paper.

With the colored side up, fold the top edge down about 1 cm.

Fold the bottom edge up to meet the top edge, then fold the left edge of the top layer down to align with the bottom edge.

Don’t forget to fold the small white triangle, too.

Fold the paper in half so the center becomes a mountain fold, with the right side of the paper facing up.

Open the pocket on the top layer and squash it to form a boot shape.

Finally, fold the tip of the boot into a small triangle to round it off, and you’re done.

ornament ball

[Made with a single sheet of origami] Easy and cute Christmas ornament folding method ◇ Origami Christmas ornaments, winter decorations ◇

Let’s make a striking ornament using a single sheet of origami paper.

First, fold the paper in half by bringing the top and bottom edges together.

Open it, then fold the top and bottom edges to meet the center crease.

Fold once more along the new outer lines to reinforce the creases.

Rotate the paper 90 degrees and repeat the same process to create three creases; do not make the final crease.

Turn the paper over, and fold both the top and bottom so that the outer creases line up with the center crease.

Rotate the paper 90 degrees and flip it to the front, then fold up the bottom edge along the outer crease.

Flatten the pocketed section into a triangle, bring only the square section forward, and fold both corners of the square—and both corners of the origami—into triangles to form the pattern.

Repeat the same steps on the other side.

Turn the paper over, make a “cushion fold” (zabuton fold), and round off the corners to finish.

Glue down the patterned sections so they don’t lift.
