Origami ideas for December! Easy Christmas and winter crafts to make with kids

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.

Cute winter fairy

Here’s an idea for making a little fairy using two sheets of origami paper.

The face takes 7 folds and the body takes 4 folds to complete! Let’s start with the face.

Place the paper with the white side up, fold it in half by matching the left and right corners, crease well, then open it.

Next, fold the top left and right edges in to meet the center crease.

Flip the paper over, fold the bottom corner up into a triangle, then fold it up again so the whole paper forms an isosceles triangle.

Flip it over, fold the bottom two corners inward, and the face is done.

For the body, follow the same steps up to making the creases and folding the left and right edges to the center.

From there, fold the bottom corner up to form an isosceles triangle, and the body is complete! Glue the parts together, then draw the face and hair to finish.

How to fold socks (also works as ornaments!)

Perfect for Christmas decorations! Let’s make a stocking with origami.

First, place the origami paper color side up and fold down the top edge by about 2 centimeters.

Flip the paper over, then fold the left and right edges inward by about 2 centimeters as well.

Next, fold the bottom right corner outward, then fold up the bottom edge by about 1 centimeter.

Turn the paper back to the front, and your stocking is complete! If you’re using plain origami paper, you can decorate it afterward by adding stickers or drawing patterns with crayons.

[Easy Christmas Craft!] Christmas Origami! How to Fold a Santa Claus 🎅#Childcare CraftingNursery teacher / Childcare worker#Drawers of Childcare#NurseryTeacherInTraining#NurseryTeacherThingsWith childrenOrigami Craft#ChristmasSanta Claus

♪ Original Song – Craft Ideas for Childcare ♪ Hoiku Kyujin Labo – Hoiku Kyujin Labo | Nursery Teacher Job Changes and Helpful Information

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!
