Mickey Santa
Let’s have fun decorating for Christmas with a Mickey Mouse mascot dressed like Santa Claus.
The base is made from red origami paper, folded into a triangle to create the hat and outfit.
You’ll then decorate the folded sections and edges to complete the Mickey Mouse look.
Adding the scarf piece is also an important step, as it enhances the overall softness and three-dimensional feel.
Since the overall color is red, it’s recommended to use accent colors that make the red stand out even more in your decorations.
Wall-mounted Christmas tree
This is a charming wall-mounted Christmas tree made from three-dimensional tree shapes.
First, make the trees.
Use a compass to draw circles on green construction paper and cut them out.
Cut each circle in half, overlap the edges slightly, and glue them to form cones.
Next, make the star.
Fold yellow or gold origami paper into triangles and combine them to create a star shape.
Stick the trees onto the wall, place a star at the top, and attach any decorations you like with glue or double-sided tape—that’s it.
It’s lovely how many small trees come together to form one big tree.
Christmas tree and ornaments
This wall decoration features a Christmas tree motif with a beautiful, three-dimensional look, as if its branches are spreading out.
Don’t just focus on the tree’s shape—be mindful of the surrounding decorations, too, to fully convey the Christmas atmosphere.
Start by rolling a piece of green construction paper, cut into a fan shape, into a pointed cone.
Then attach strips of paper with fine slits cut into them to resemble branches.
The key to a beautiful finish is to layer the pieces so that the seams between attached parts are hidden.
Once you add the ornament pieces, the tree is complete.
By stacking and layering the units, you can even create a larger tree.
reindeer
In Japan, reindeer, which are especially associated with Christmas, bring a sense of dynamism to wall displays alongside Santa Claus.
By using origami to make the reindeer’s face and body and then combining them, you can easily create a cute decoration.
Origami, which uses fine finger movements, can serve as brain exercise for seniors and involves no dangerous steps, so it offers benefits beyond simply brightening up an event.
It’s a Christmas-themed craft that’s sure to engage people as they immerse themselves in the seasonal spirit.

Have you ever made a countdown calendar like “25 days until graduation” back in your school days? Since they’re often made by the whole class, each page tends to carry a certain passionate feeling that really captures the essence of youth.
So, why not make a page-a-day countdown calendar to Christmas to get into the holiday spirit? It would be fun to divide up the work with your family or make it together with friends.
Each page will show its own personality—you might even feel like making one for the entire year!
gingerbread man
Do you know the Gingerbread Man? It’s the brown, person-shaped figure you often see during the Christmas season.
That’s called a Gingerbread Man, and it’s a human figure made from gingerbread or ginger cookies.
These days, it appears not only at Christmas but also at Halloween and Easter in different shapes.
How about folding a gingerbread man with origami and making a calendar? Adding small accents like a ribbon or a hat is the key to making it extra cute!
Christmas tree made with origami
Why are fir trees used for Christmas trees? It varies by country, but in Germany it’s believed that little spirits dwell in fir trees, and that decorating them with food and presents brings good luck.
In Japan, do many places substitute cedar trees? Let’s try folding a Christmas tree with origami and make a calendar that features it.
The folding method is surprisingly simple, so please share it with everyone.
You can also use pipe cleaners or beads to decorate the tree!
