Easy! Origami Snowman

[Origami] Easy Snowman ⛄ How to make a paper snowman #Snowman #Yukidaruma #SnowPerson #눈사람 #Snowman #Christmas #OrigamiInstructions #Origami #Paper #종이

Speaking of snowmen, they’re usually two-tiered, but this time let’s make a three-tiered snowman! First, fold the top and bottom corners of the origami paper toward the center.

Flip the paper over, then fold the top and bottom edges you just made toward the center in the same way.

At this point, the top and bottom corners will stick out, so fold those in to meet the center as well.

Next, place the paper vertically and make creases by folding the top and bottom corners twice each.

Align the corners with the center of the paper and the inner corners of the diamonds at the top and bottom.

Once the creases are made, flip the paper over and perform a pleat fold from the bottom, matching the creases to create the three tiers of the snowman.

Then, using the remaining top crease, fold the top part of the paper to the back, and fold the corners of the pleated section into triangles.

Finally, tuck the remaining bottom corner to the back, and your snowman is complete!

Cute! Origami of an igloo and a snowman.

[Origami] Easy and Cute Snowman and Igloo Folding Tutorial / Winter Origami Decorations for Christmas

Here’s an idea for making a snowman and a kamakura (snow hut) out of origami.

If you make the snowman small, you can place it inside the kamakura for display.

For the snowman, start by placing the origami paper like a diamond, with the white side facing up.

Next, fold the bottom corner up to the center to crease it, unfold, then fold again by aligning the corner to the crease you just made.

After making one more wrap fold on the same section, flip the paper over and fold the remaining corner to the center.

The colored part will become the hat, and the remaining white area will be the snowman’s face and body.

From here, fold the corners and edges, using pleat folds as needed to shape the snowman.

For the kamakura, fold the corners and edges inward little by little along the creases to form the structure.

Santa wrapping

Let’s make Santa-themed wrapping that can hold small sweets or gifts.

With the colored side of the origami paper facing up, fold up the bottom edge by 1 cm.

Flip the paper over and fold up the bottom edge by 1 cm again in the same way.

Flip the paper over once more, then fold up the bottom edge again.

Make sure this fold is narrower than the remaining width above it.

Turn the paper over, fold the left and right edges inward so they overlap, then glue to form a bag.

Close the opening so it is perpendicular to the bottom to finish.

Draw Santa’s face on the white part to complete the look.

Make it with origami! Pinecone wreath

[Craft Idea] Christmas Wreath with Origami Pine Cones (December Winter Christmas) (Wall Decoration) (Activities for Seniors, Day Service, Occupational Therapy, Childcare) (Origami DIY)

It’s an idea for a wreath made not with real pinecones, but with pinecones crafted from origami.

First, crumple the origami paper once to add wrinkles and texture.

Then cut it in half, glue the pieces so they form a wide rectangle, and fold it in half so the top and bottom edges overlap.

Make fine slits along the looped edge, then roll it up tightly to complete the pinecone.

Make the leaves and red berries from origami as well.

Finally, attach the leaves to a wreath base made from thick cardstock, and decorate it with the pinecones and red berries to finish.

ornament ball

[Made with a single sheet of origami] Easy and cute Christmas ornament folding method ◇ Origami Christmas ornaments, winter decorations ◇

Let’s make a striking ornament using a single sheet of origami paper.

First, fold the paper in half by bringing the top and bottom edges together.

Open it, then fold the top and bottom edges to meet the center crease.

Fold once more along the new outer lines to reinforce the creases.

Rotate the paper 90 degrees and repeat the same process to create three creases; do not make the final crease.

Turn the paper over, and fold both the top and bottom so that the outer creases line up with the center crease.

Rotate the paper 90 degrees and flip it to the front, then fold up the bottom edge along the outer crease.

Flatten the pocketed section into a triangle, bring only the square section forward, and fold both corners of the square—and both corners of the origami—into triangles to form the pattern.

Repeat the same steps on the other side.

Turn the paper over, make a “cushion fold” (zabuton fold), and round off the corners to finish.

Glue down the patterned sections so they don’t lift.
