3D Santa Claus made with colored construction paper

Christmas season wall decoration: 'Cute Santa Claus made with colored construction paper'

A cute, plump, three-dimensional Santa Claus made from construction paper.

Get your construction paper, scissors, and glue ready and let’s get started.

First, make Santa’s face by cutting and gluing the parts—eyes, mustache/beard, and mouth—out of construction paper.

When making the hat, glue it into a tube shape to create the hat, leaving some hollow space inside the back; that’s the key point.

For the body, roll a sheet of construction paper and glue it so that the tip is inserted into the back side of the hat.

Attach the arms, legs, and boots, then cut slits into white construction paper to make Santa’s sack, and you’re done.

It might also be fun to create your own original Santa by changing the direction of the parts, the facial expression, and the colors of the paper.

[Origami] Snowman

Origami: Snowman with a hat and scarf from a single sheet [Origami] Snowman with hat and scarf (using only one sheet)

This origami snowman is perfect for December, when it’s also the season of snow.

A snowman is made by placing one snowball on top of another, right? With a clever folding method, you can express the two stacked snowballs using just a single sheet of origami paper.

You can also make a scarf around the snowman’s neck.

If you use polka-dot or patterned paper, the pattern becomes the scarf, making it extra cute.

You can draw the eyes and mouth yourself, so each snowman has its own personality.

You can stick them on a wreath or a calendar, so try arranging them in different ways to expand the range of your creations.

A Christmas present you can make with just one sheet!

Let me show you how to make a present box with a ribbon.

Place the colored side of the origami paper facing up and fold it in half horizontally to make a crease in the center.

Open it, then fold the top and bottom edges inward by about 1 cm.

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

Rotate the paper vertically, then turn it over again and fold down the top edge by about 2 cm.

Open and squash the white section in the center of the folded part to form the ribbon, then fold up the bottom edge and tuck it under the ribbon.

Your present box is complete!

Easy! Christmas Bell Origami

Let’s try making a bell out of origami to use as a Christmas decoration.

With the colored side of the paper facing up, fold up the bottom edge by about 1 centimeter.

Turn the paper over, fold the top left and right corners in to meet at the center, then fold the top down along the base line of the triangle you just made.

Fold the bottom left and right corners up to meet the bottom point of the triangle.

At this step, fold them at a slight angle so the shape looks like a bell.

Tuck in the remaining corners to refine the bell shape, then make a second one the same way and glue them together.

Finish by attaching a holly piece to the back.

Foldable with one sheet! Cute reindeer

[Origami] Cute and Easy Reindeer Tutorial! How to Fold a One-Sheet Winter Christmas Decoration

You can make a reindeer that brings Santa using a single sheet of origami paper.

First, fold the paper into a triangle twice to make creases.

With the white side up, fold the top corner to the center, then fold it back leaving about 1 centimeter.

Turn the paper over and fold the triangle sticking out at the top down toward you.

Now, using the triangular creases, fold the paper into a square.

Once folded, place the square with the side that hasn’t been folded yet facing up, and position it so that the corner that will be the center of the origami points downward.

Fold both lower edges toward the center line, turn the paper over, then slide the white triangle at the top to the left and right to bring the back section forward.

Fold down the top corner that you brought forward, turn the paper over, and fold the upper left and right edges toward the center line.

These will become the reindeer’s antlers, and the remaining left and right triangles will be the ears.

Adjust their shapes, then fold the three bottom corners inward to shape the face, and you’re done.

Draw the reindeer’s eyes and nose with a pen.
