December origami! Simple ideas for Santas and wreaths that kids can enjoy in childcare

How to fold a cute Tomte

[Origami] How to fold a cute Christmas ornament (Tomte) – easy method, kid-friendly instructions – December origami [Origami]

Also popular as Christmas decorations! The Nordic gnome “Tomte.” Let’s make the hat with 15 cm origami paper, and the face and body with 7.5 cm origami paper.

First, fold the hat paper into a triangle to make a crease.

Next, fold the bottom corner up so it aligns slightly below the crease.

Fold it up again along the center crease to form a triangle, then turn it over and fold the left and right corners up to meet the top corner.

Fold the lower left and right edges inward so they meet at the center, and the hat is done.

Next, fold the face paper into a triangle to make a crease, then fold the two top edges down to meet the crease.

Open up the overlapped center and squash it to form the nose.

Fold the tip of the nose slightly to round it, then turn the paper over and fold the corner above the nose slightly inward to make a crease.

Insert the part under the hat, aligning the crease with the bottom edge of the hat, and fold both sides of the face to match the sides of the hat.

The white part left showing is the beard.

Fold the left, right, and bottom corners of the body paper inward, then attach it to the face to finish.

Cute for Christmas! Santa Claus

[Christmas Origami] Easy and Cute Santa Claus Folding / Winter Origami — Santa (Origami Santa Claus)

Combine three parts—face, body, and hat—to make Santa Claus.

Align one corner to the center and crease, then align the corner to that crease and crease again.

Fold the corner along the second crease, turn the paper over, and fold the remaining three corners to the center.

Fold both corners of the one triangle that’s a different color toward the center, then fold the opposite edge to the center of the diamond.

Fold both ends of the rectangular section inward, then fold all four corners into triangles to complete the face.

For the body, fold the left and right edges to meet in the middle, then fold the two top corners that meet in the center back outward about 1 cm—these will be Santa’s hands.

Fold the top and bottom edges to meet in the middle to make a square, then squash the top pocket to form a boat shape.

Use mountain-and-valley folds on both the boat section and the remaining lower section to create the arms and legs.

Make the hat by folding a small piece of origami paper about 10 times.

Glue the three parts together and you’re done!

Fold the bottom edge up to meet the crease.

Shift the crease by folding the edge to align with the fold line.

Fold the left and right sides to meet the center line.

Fold the white section down to the edge.

After folding up both bottom corners of the white section, pull them upward.

Next, squash-fold so that the creases land on the corners.

Fold the edges with the image of reindeer antlers in mind.

Finally, fold the left and right sides diagonally so they cross slightly at the center, letting the “horns” peek out a bit, to form the body—and you’re done! Use round stickers or a pen to draw a cute face.

Great for scissor practice too! A three-dimensional star

[Christmas] Surprisingly easy! Make a 3D star with origami ⭐️ Perfect as a Christmas tree ornament too #Xmas #shorts #star

This is a method for making a three-dimensional star by cutting slits into a pentagon-shaped sheet of construction paper and using folds to add dimension.

First, turn a square sheet of construction paper into a pentagon.

Fold the paper in half horizontally to make a rectangle, then fold the two left corners down to meet the top and bottom edges to create triangular folds and make crease lines.

Once you have an X-shaped set of creases, fold the right half of the bottom edge up along the line at the lower right.

Flip the paper over, and use the creases to fold up the remaining section of the bottom edge.

Fold the paper in half so the left and right shapes overlap, then cut the top at a diagonal.

When you unfold it, the paper will be a pentagon.

Make slits along all the creases except the diagonal ones, and fold to form a star shape—done! Add a string to turn it into an ornament.

♬ Jingle Bell Rock – Glee Cast

Here’s a simple way to make a sled with just one sheet of origami paper and four folds! If you have stickers, washi tape, reindeer and Santa cutouts, and glue for decoration, it’ll look extra cute.

First, fold the origami paper into a triangle, then fold up the bottom a little and flip it over.

Fold the tip down to the bottom, and your sled is done.

If you want to change the shape of the sled, fold only one of the ends.

It also looks adorable if you decorate it with stickers or washi tape—highly recommended.

Stick on a reindeer and Santa, and use washi tape to attach the reindeer’s reins, and you’re finished!
