Cute and easy Santa boots
https://www.tiktok.com/@hoiku.labo/video/7310107669031931138Fold the origami in half by bringing the top and bottom edges together to make a crease.
Open it up, place the colored side facing up, and fold the right edge inward by about 1 cm.
Flip the paper over again, then fold the top and bottom edges to meet the center crease.
Place it with the white side facing up, and fold the bottom edge up to align with the lower line of the white area.
Fold the paper in half by bringing the left and right edges together, then pinch the inside section and pull it outward 90 degrees.
Fold the pulled-out section upward on the front and the back to form a boot shape.
Finally, fold the tip of the boot to round it off, and you’re done!
Cute Santa Claus you can fold from a single sheet!
Fold the origami paper into a triangle to make a crease, then open it and fold the top corner down to meet the center.
Fold the lowered corner into a roll (tuck fold) to create the white part of the hat.
Next, fold the bottom corner up to meet the top edge, then fold it back down about 1 cm below the white part of the hat.
This white triangle will be Santa’s beard.
Turn the paper over, and fold the top left and right edges inward by about 7 mm.
Then fold both sides inward again so that the top edges align with the vertical center line.
Fold along the creases you just made so they match the lower left and right edges of the diamond shape at the center, and fold them back outward, tucking the corners into the small triangles on the left and right—these will be Santa’s arms.
Turn the paper to the front and draw the face to finish.
Foldable with one sheet! Cute reindeer
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.
Just two folds! An easy wreath
A wreath made by connecting folded origami pieces is a perfect origami activity for older kindergarteners in December.
Prepare eight sheets of origami paper cut into quarters.
Fold each piece into a triangle, then fold one of the corners upward.
Make eight pieces using the same folding method, then insert the tip of one piece into the pocket of another to connect them and form a circular wreath.
Mixing colors will create a bright and cute wreath.
Decorating it with stickers or pom-poms is also recommended.
Also great for Christmas! Easy way to fold a star
This idea starts with making creases.
By making firm, precise creases first, the following steps will be easier, so proceed carefully.
After creasing, fold the origami twice to make a small square, then squash the pocket to form two triangles.
Take only the top layer of the triangle and fold the right edge to align with the center line.
Turn the paper over and fold the other side the same way.
In this state, hold the remaining right corner and slowly pull the left corner; the folded sections will swap sides, creating the two bottom points of the star.
Finally, adjust for balance and make step folds with the remaining corners to finish.
Cute on the wall too! Christmas wreath
Prepare two sheets of origami paper and cut each into four equal squares.
Take each cut piece, fold the top two corners toward the center, then fold it in half by bringing the left and right edges together.
That completes one part; repeat the same steps for the remaining seven pieces.
After that, simply assemble and glue the parts together to form a wreath.
It’s a very simple wreath, so add a ribbon or draw your favorite patterns with a pen to make it more festive.
It would also look cute decorated with a Santa or snowman made from different origami paper.
Colon and a cute reindeer
Turn the origami paper to the back and crease it in half.
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.
