Star-shaped Santa
This is a three-dimensional Santa Claus mascot in the shape of a star—perfect for Christmas.
Since you use the reverse side of the origami paper for the white area where the face is drawn, you can complete a 3D mascot using just a single sheet.
To achieve the three-dimensional star shape, it’s important to follow the folding steps carefully and make precise creases to serve as guides, which might be the tricky part.
The impression changes depending on the color of origami you choose, so it’s recommended to be particular about that as well.
A Christmas tree made with clay and tissue paper
@ouchiasobi_mii @ouchiasobi_mii 👈 Nice to meet you (^^) I’d be happy if you check out my other posts too ✨✨ If you want to look back later, saving is handy 👍✨ /Totally hooked/ Fluffy Tree 🎄 Materials: - Paper plate (construction paper or colored paper works too) - Clay - Paint (I used acrylic) - Tissue paper (flower paper) - Cotton swabs In the video, the tissue paper colors are neatly separated, but when kids did it, we just mixed all kinds of colors and said it’s fine as long as you fill it up 😊 Try making your very own tree ♡#Christmas#ParentChildTime#StayHomeTime#ElementarySchoolMom#AtHomePlay

This is a Christmas tree mascot with a distinctive, softly textured look, made by combining clay and tissue paper.
First, shape the clay into a Christmas tree and coat the entire surface with glue.
Next, prepare tissue paper cut into small pieces, press them into the clay, and cover the surface.
It’s best to fill it in until the clay is hardly visible to create the effect of spreading leaves.
By choosing colors and arranging the tissue paper thoughtfully, you can create an even more beautiful Christmas tree.
Strawberry Santa

This is a round, cute Santa Claus mascot made in pink and red, just like a strawberry.
First, wrap felt around a toilet paper roll core to measure the length, cut it, and make small slits.
Then glue the felt onto the core, flip and attach the slit sections, and shape it into a smooth round form.
Finally, attach parts like Santa’s beard and hat to the remaining part of the core to finish.
Be careful not to make sharp creases—aim for a soft look as you shape it.
Stylish 3D Christmas tree

It’s a cute and festive mascot that looks like a large bell is placed inside a Christmas tree.
The tree base is made by cutting and assembling thick paper; it forms a triangle with intentional gaps.
Place the bell mascot in the gap created by assembling the thick paper, and decorate the whole piece with ribbons and more to finish.
Think about the balance of colors and shapes—such as which color to use for the tree base and what kind of bell to use—as you create it.
Fruit net wreath

Let’s make a colorful and cute wreath that makes use of the mesh pattern of fruit nets.
First, cut cardboard into a ring, apply glue to the base, and attach the fruit nets.
Once the wreath base is ready, add the small decorations to finish.
Since the cardboard base will show through the gaps in the net, keep the net color in mind and decide the cardboard color in advance.
The key is to be mindful of the overall color balance—such as the color you paint on the cardboard, the color of the nets you use, and the colors of the decorations.
