[December Wall Displays] Cute Winter Craft Ideas You Can Use Beyond Christmas!

[Origami] Snowman

Origami: Snowman with a hat and scarf from a single sheet [Origami] Snowman with hat and scarf (using only one sheet)

This origami snowman is perfect for December, when it’s also the season of snow.

A snowman is made by placing one snowball on top of another, right? With a clever folding method, you can express the two stacked snowballs using just a single sheet of origami paper.

You can also make a scarf around the snowman’s neck.

If you use polka-dot or patterned paper, the pattern becomes the scarf, making it extra cute.

You can draw the eyes and mouth yourself, so each snowman has its own personality.

You can stick them on a wreath or a calendar, so try arranging them in different ways to expand the range of your creations.

Foldable with one sheet! Cute reindeer

[Origami] Cute and Easy Reindeer Tutorial! How to Fold a One-Sheet Winter Christmas Decoration

You can make a reindeer that brings Santa using a single sheet of origami paper.

First, fold the paper into a triangle twice to make creases.

With the white side up, fold the top corner to the center, then fold it back leaving about 1 centimeter.

Turn the paper over and fold the triangle sticking out at the top down toward you.

Now, using the triangular creases, fold the paper into a square.

Once folded, place the square with the side that hasn’t been folded yet facing up, and position it so that the corner that will be the center of the origami points downward.

Fold both lower edges toward the center line, turn the paper over, then slide the white triangle at the top to the left and right to bring the back section forward.

Fold down the top corner that you brought forward, turn the paper over, and fold the upper left and right edges toward the center line.

These will become the reindeer’s antlers, and the remaining left and right triangles will be the ears.

Adjust their shapes, then fold the three bottom corners inward to shape the face, and you’re done.

Draw the reindeer’s eyes and nose with a pen.

White Mickey Santa origami

The white Lil Rillrin fairy made with white origami is kept warm for the chilly month of December by its hat and scarf.

When making the body, fold the hat so that the tip becomes straight and pointed.

For the legs, the key is to fold them upward so they become rounded.

For the ears, fold the corners to create a circular shape, making sure the left and right are balanced.

If you change the color of the origami for the scarf, you’ll have your own original white Lil Rillrin.

To enhance the feel of a snow fairy, using white glitter origami is also recommended.

Stained-glass-style tree made with aluminum foil

Even stained glass, which might seem difficult, can be an easy challenge for kids if you use aluminum foil! Here, we’ll show you a shiny, beautiful stained glass-style tree.

First, crumple up aluminum foil to give it a wrinkled texture, place it inside a clear file, and cut it into a triangle.

Add masking tape around the edges of the file, stick on your favorite stickers, and it’s done! You can also draw stained glass-style outlines on the clear file with a black permanent marker and color them in; placing aluminum foil behind it will give the piece a different look.

Enjoy tailoring the activity to children’s ages and interests!

Ornaments made from plastic cup lids

Why not use plastic cup lids to make Christmas ornaments? Enjoy creating dreamy ornaments with children using familiar materials! First, make a snowflake from quarter-size origami paper and stick it to the back of the plastic cup lid.

Next, cut transparent origami into a circle and attach it to the back as well.

Finally, decorate the edge with roll stickers in any design you like, add a ribbon, and you’re done! If the children are around five years old and can use scissors, let them try making the snowflakes.

Since the materials are translucent, we recommend displaying the ornaments where they’ll catch the light!
