Cute Christmas wreath
A pop and cute Christmas wreath made with origami.
Origami uses your fingertips extensively, so it’s a great recreational activity for seniors to try! Plus, making this Christmas wreath will help you enjoy the seasonal atmosphere.
The base of the wreath is made by folding several parts and assembling them together.
Adding origami Santa Clauses and reindeer will boost the Christmas mood even more! You can also create a unique finish by arranging different color combinations for the wreath base parts.
Santa Claus ornaments to decorate your walls or tree
This is a soft-looking Santa Claus ornament made using a paper roll as the base.
Wrap tissue paper around the paper roll and shape the tip into a triangle to create the foundation for Santa Claus.
Then just attach parts like the beard and face to complete it—the softness of the tissue paper conveys Santa’s gentle feel.
You can add originality in many ways, such as the shape of the hat or the expression you give him.
It works well as a standing mascot decoration, and it’s also recommended to attach a string and hang it up.
Christmas tree wall decoration made with origami
Let’s decorate your walls with a must-have Christmas item—a tree—to build excitement for the season.
The key is to layer pieces cut from three sheets of origami paper to clearly convey the tree’s three-dimensional feel.
Fold the origami into a triangular screen shape, trim the edges, and attach the pieces while keeping the stepped layers in mind.
Adding wooden pieces and ornaments helps make it unmistakably a Christmas tree.
You can use a single tree as a decorative accent, or line several up to create a large tree—there are many ways to use this idea.
3D poinsettia with origami
Introducing a three-dimensional origami poinsettia to get you in the Christmas spirit! It’s perfect for holiday decorations and as a tree ornament.
The key to this origami is to proceed while making crisp, precise creases.
Because it’s shaped in 3D, some of the intricate steps and fine folds may be challenging.
For a glamorous finish, decorate the center of the flower with a gold bead! Make plenty to arrange into a wreath, or use them as casual gifts.
Origami gingerbread man
Let’s try making a gingerbread man using origami.
Cut a regular sheet of origami paper into quarters; use two pieces for the body, one for the arms, and one for the head.
There are a few steps that require fine folding, but no particularly complex techniques are needed, so it’s perfect for dexterity practice.
Another factor that simplifies the process is that you can use glue to attach each part—the body, arms, and head.
It’s also fun that, rather than being pure origami, the method is closer to a craft project.
Origami Christmas tree
This is a simple Christmas tree made with origami.
Its simplicity allows for a wide range of customization, and the key is that you can express originality through decorations.
Fold green origami paper into a pointed triangle to create the base, then add embellishments like rhinestones or stickers.
It’s important to have a crease down the center of the triangle—this clearly conveys the trunk of the tree and gives it a sense of dimension.
Whether you use decorations that suggest the spread of the branches or ones that evoke festive ornamentation, the personality of the tree will come through depending on which aspects you choose to emphasize.
pine cone
This project recreates the stepped layers of a pine cone by stacking pieces of construction paper.
Fold an accordion crease into a sheet of paper, secure the center, glue both ends, and form a bumpy circle.
Insert small pieces of paper between layers, stack and glue circular pieces—some with trimmed edges or in varying sizes—and attach a string at the end to complete the pine cone.
Using construction paper makes it sturdy, while origami paper gives it a softer look.
Rather than displaying them individually, it’s recommended to incorporate them into Christmas tree decorations or line several up for display.
