When it comes to Christmas decorations, you just can’t leave out Santa! You can easily make one with a single sheet of red origami paper, so give it a try and put it on display.

First, crease an X diagonally, then fold one corner toward the center crease and make five small accordion folds upward.

Next, take the opposite corner and fold it up in a large flap, then fold a small portion back down to reveal a white edge.

Flip it over, fold both sides toward the center line and open them, then fold the sides in again along the creases you just made.

Shape it neatly and you’re done.

Don’t forget to draw Santa’s face with a pen!

Snowflake made with 6 sheets of origami paper

This idea uses six sheets of quarter-size origami paper.

Fold each sheet in half twice to make a small triangle.

Starting from the folded edge, make three evenly spaced cuts parallel to the triangle’s base.

Be careful not to cut all the way through.

Gently open the paper, then first glue together the top and bottom corners of the innermost layer.

Skip one and glue the third set of corners in the same way, then flip the paper over.

Next, glue the second and fourth sets of corners together.

Once you have six identical pieces, attach the ends to each other to complete the snowflake.

It can also be used as a wall decoration for December! How to fold a wreath

[Preschool Crafts] Easy Christmas Wreath with Origami! Perfect for December Wall Displays!

Here’s an idea for a wreath made by connecting paper parts.

This will be just the base, so if you want decorations, make them separately and glue them on.

First, prepare two sheets of 15 cm origami paper and cut each into four equal squares to make them square.

You’ll use these eight pieces to make the parts.

Take each quarter piece, fold the left and right edges toward the center to crease, then open it.

Next, fold the bottom left and right corners up to the center crease to make triangles, then fold the paper in half along the crease.

That completes one part, so make the remaining seven the same way.

To connect them, apply glue to the pointed tip of one part and tuck it inside the other part.

It will form a slightly spiky circle, like a holly wreath.

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.

A snowman that folds after 7 times plus 4 times

“Preschool Craft Ideas: Winter Origami” Snowman! An easy origami you can fold in 7 + 4 steps (kids can make it!) · Origami snowman easy

Let’s make seven snowmen and four hats.

For the hats, use origami paper that is one quarter the size of the snowman’s paper.

We’ll start with the snowman: with the colored side facing up, fold the paper in half by bringing the top and bottom edges together, crease well, then unfold.

Next, fold the bottom edge up to the crease, and fold the top edge down so it aligns about 1 cm above the crease.

Flip the paper over, fold the left and right edges together to make a center crease, then fold both the left and right edges in to meet that crease.

Finally, fold all four corners inward, and the snowman is complete! Now for the hat: fold the paper into a triangle.

Fold the top corner of the triangle down to meet the bottom edge, then fold both the left and right edges up to align with the top edge.

That completes the hat.

Glue the two together and draw a face on the snowman to finish.

Cute and easy reindeer

[Origami] Reindeer [Easy] [Ages 3 and up] [Christmas Craft]

Reindeer origami, perfect for Christmas decorations, can be made with two sheets of beige origami paper.

First, for the reindeer’s head, fold the paper into a triangle twice, then open up the second fold.

Fold the large top corner downward, and fold both side corners toward the center crease.

Next, fold both sides in toward the middle again, then fold the top section diagonally to form the antlers, and the head is complete.

For the body, do the same as with the head: fold into a triangle twice and open the second fold.

From the large top corner, fold down only the top layer so it sticks out slightly at the bottom, then fold both sides toward the part you just folded down.

Fold the remaining white section into a long, narrow strip, then fold the whole piece in half to finish.

Combine it with the head, draw the reindeer’s face, or add stickers, and you’re done!
