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.

Cute winter fairy

Here’s an idea for making a little fairy using two sheets of origami paper.

The face takes 7 folds and the body takes 4 folds to complete! Let’s start with the face.

Place the paper with the white side up, fold it in half by matching the left and right corners, crease well, then open it.

Next, fold the top left and right edges in to meet the center crease.

Flip the paper over, fold the bottom corner up into a triangle, then fold it up again so the whole paper forms an isosceles triangle.

Flip it over, fold the bottom two corners inward, and the face is done.

For the body, follow the same steps up to making the creases and folding the left and right edges to the center.

From there, fold the bottom corner up to form an isosceles triangle, and the body is complete! Glue the parts together, then draw the face and hair to finish.

A long-tailed tit that can stand up or be displayed as a decoration

Can stand up or be displayed! How to fold a Long-tailed Tit (Shima-enaga) with a single sheet of origami | How to fold an Origami Long-tailed Tit.

In winter, the long-tailed tit (Shima-enaga) becomes covered in pure white feathers, transforming into a plump and adorable figure.

Using a single sheet of black origami, you can make a stand-up type Shima-enaga—let’s give it a try! First, crease diagonally and vertically to make an X.

Fold it into a square as if tucking everything inward so it becomes about one-quarter of the original size.

On one side, fold in the surrounding paper so that the surface turns black.

Also make a tail on the black side so it can stand.

After folding in half, create a long, thin crease to mark the boundary between the face and the body.

Fold back the bottom and both ends of the white side to form the wings and feet, and you’re done! Draw the Shima-enaga’s face with a pen or add stickers to complete it.

Just three folds! How to fold a sled

[Origami] Sleigh [Easy! From age 3] [Christmas craft]

Besides reindeer, Santa can’t do without a sleigh, right? And amazingly, you can make this sleigh with just about three folds.

Prepare origami paper in your favorite color, and first fold it into a triangle.

Then fold a very narrow strip along the long edge upward.

Flip it over, fold the tip that’s sticking up downward, flip it back to the front, and you’re done! That’s three steps total, but if you like, fold about one quarter of either end toward the back to turn it into a sleigh with a backrest—highly recommended.

Feel free to decorate your sleigh by drawing on it or adding stickers as you like!

A snow rabbit that folds in 4 + 5 steps!

“Childcare Ideas: Winter Origami” Fold in 4 + 5 Steps! Snow Rabbit Origami (Kids Can Make It Themselves!) · Origami Snow Rabbit Easy

Prepare one sheet of white origami paper and two sheets of green origami paper that are each 1/4 the size of the white one.

With just four folds for the white paper and five folds for each green piece, you’ll have a snow rabbit! First, fold the white paper into a triangle.

Then fold one of the long, sharp corners down deeply and the other one down more shallowly.

Fold the remaining corner slightly downward as well to complete the snow rabbit’s body.

Next, fold a green piece into a triangle and open it; fold both sides in toward the crease you made.

Where any white shows, also fold those edges toward the center crease.

Make two of these and attach them to the body you made earlier to create the ears, and you’re done! Don’t forget to draw on the eyes and mouth.
