The red flower often used as a Christmas decoration, the poinsettia—let’s make it with origami to add a festive touch! Prepare three small red origami sheets and three small green ones.

Use each sheet to create petal and leaf parts.

Combine the finished parts and tape them together to form the flower shape and the large leaves, and you’ll have a completed poinsettia.

For an added touch, we recommend placing a small yellow round sticker in the center.

A reindeer that breaks easily

Origami Reindeer / How to fold an origami reindeer

How about making Santa’s partner, a reindeer, out of origami? The folding method is relatively simple, so be sure to try it with kids! You’ll finish by creating the reindeer’s antlers, but depending on the child’s age, that step can be a bit tricky—so adults should help if needed.

To finish, just draw the reindeer’s eyes, nose, and mouth! You can also use round stickers for the face parts.

This is great for Christmas origami crafts and wall decorations, so why not boost the holiday spirit through this activity?

Star-shaped Santa Claus

[Christmas Origami] How to Make a Star-Shaped Santa Claus 🎅 How to make paper Santa Claus #Santa #Christmas #Ornament #Christmas #HowToFold #Origami #Paper #종이

I’m going to show you how to fold a cute star-shaped Santa Claus.

First, turn the origami paper over and place it with a corner pointing toward you.

Fold it into a triangle twice, then unfold and flip it over.

Fold the top corner down to the center.

Fold the bottom corner up to meet the top edge, then fold the bottom edge up to the center again.

Fold the triangular flap downward to make a crease, then open the folded bottom edge and tuck the top corner under it.

Fold the top corner up along the crease line.

Fold the top left and right corners down so they line up with the triangle’s edges.

Flip it over, fold the left and right edges to the center, then fold the whole piece in half so the folded side faces outward.

Pinch along the lower left and right diagonal lines and fold them downward.

Fold up the lower left and right corners to form a star shape.

Finally, make diagonal creases on the lower left and right corners and open them slightly—that’s it! It looks cute if you draw a face with a pen or add a pom-pom to the hat.

Easy snowman made with three sheets of origami paper

[Origami] How to make a snowman – origami snowman

This is an easy snowman origami you can make using three sheets of paper.

It’s perfect for cozy winter days at home or for preschool and daycare craft activities leading up to December events.

Make the head and body separately with two small sheets of origami paper and glue them together.

Then, use a sheet that’s one-sixteenth the size of a standard origami paper to make the snowman’s hat.

For the eyes, coloring round stickers black and sticking them on is a quick way to get a neat look.

If you’re crafting with young children and the small paper is tricky to handle, we recommend trying it first with standard-size origami paper.

Flat present box

[Made with one sheet of origami] Easy! How to fold a flat gift box ◇Origami Gift Box — great for Christmas and party decorations◇

A flat present box you can make from a single sheet of origami paper is a cute idea to stick onto a birthday card.

First, fold the paper inward twice, crease firmly, then unfold.

Rotate it, fold back the other way, and fold to the crease; flip it over and repeat the same folds.

To create the ribbon in the center, fold triangles as if forming a bow, then open and squash-fold to give the ribbon a three-dimensional shape.

Finally, secure with glue and adjust the shape to finish.

Making crisp creases results in a neat finish, and simply changing the color or pattern can dramatically change the look.
