An easy flat Christmas tree

[3-Minute Origami] How to Fold a Christmas Tree ⭐ Easy Flat Design Tutorial Video ⭐ Christmas Decoration ⭐ For Kids ⭐ Great for Preschools and Kindergartens ⭐ With Voice Narration | Christmas Tree Origami

Here’s a Christmas tree you can make with simple steps.

Basically, you fold straight along the creases, with just two places where you’ll do a pleat fold.

First, fold the origami paper into a triangle to make a crease, then open it.

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.

Let’s make a cute present with origami!

[Preschool Crafts] Let’s make cute gifts with origami! Perfect for Christmas too

Gifts are a handy idea around Christmas time, aren’t they? They can be used as parts for wall displays, as a little accent for crafts, and if you attach a string, they can even become ornaments.

So this time, I’ll show you how to make a gift using a single sheet of origami paper.

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.

Turn the paper vertically and flip it over, then fold down the top edge by about 2 centimeters.

Press the colored section in the center into a triangle to create a ribbon.

Finally, fold the bottom edge up and tuck it inside the ribbon—and you’re done!

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.

Turn the paper over and fold the left and right edges inward so they meet at the center.

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.
