Christmas tree wall decoration made with origami

Easy Origami Christmas Tree Wall Decoration (with voice narration)

Let’s decorate your walls with a must-have Christmas item—a tree—to build excitement for the season.

The key is to layer pieces cut from three sheets of origami paper to clearly convey the tree’s three-dimensional feel.

Fold the origami into a triangular screen shape, trim the edges, and attach the pieces while keeping the stepped layers in mind.

Adding wooden pieces and ornaments helps make it unmistakably a Christmas tree.

You can use a single tree as a decorative accent, or line several up to create a large tree—there are many ways to use this idea.

Hanging decoration of stars and a moon made from origami and construction paper

When we think of Christmas, we often imagine a romantic night.

These three-dimensional decorations, featuring motifs of the moon and stars, are perfect symbols of such an evening.

For the star motif, fold each point, sandwich a string between the pieces, and glue them together one by one.

The folding is very intricate, using tweezers, so if it’s difficult, make sure those around you offer solid support.

For the moon motif, cut construction paper into thin strips, shape them into a crescent, and attach paper cut to match that shape to finish.

Punch a hole in the moon and thread the star motif through it; this arrangement lets the stars appear in the gaps of the moon, creating a romantic atmosphere.

Origami gingerbread man

Let’s try making a gingerbread man using origami.

Cut a regular sheet of origami paper into quarters; use two pieces for the body, one for the arms, and one for the head.

There are a few steps that require fine folding, but no particularly complex techniques are needed, so it’s perfect for dexterity practice.

Another factor that simplifies the process is that you can use glue to attach each part—the body, arms, and head.

It’s also fun that, rather than being pure origami, the method is closer to a craft project.

Origami Christmas tree

[Origami] How to make an easy Christmas tree – origami Christmas tree
Origami Christmas tree

This is a simple Christmas tree made with origami.

Its simplicity allows for a wide range of customization, and the key is that you can express originality through decorations.

Fold green origami paper into a pointed triangle to create the base, then add embellishments like rhinestones or stickers.

It’s important to have a crease down the center of the triangle—this clearly conveys the trunk of the tree and gives it a sense of dimension.

Whether you use decorations that suggest the spread of the branches or ones that evoke festive ornamentation, the personality of the tree will come through depending on which aspects you choose to emphasize.

This project recreates the stepped layers of a pine cone by stacking pieces of construction paper.

Fold an accordion crease into a sheet of paper, secure the center, glue both ends, and form a bumpy circle.

Insert small pieces of paper between layers, stack and glue circular pieces—some with trimmed edges or in varying sizes—and attach a string at the end to complete the pine cone.

Using construction paper makes it sturdy, while origami paper gives it a softer look.

Rather than displaying them individually, it’s recommended to incorporate them into Christmas tree decorations or line several up for display.

This is a three-dimensional star decoration made by shaping origami with attention to creases and cut lines.

First, fold the origami into a triangle while keeping the creases in mind, then use scissors to cut it into a star shape.

Next, refer to the pre-made creases to refine the form, shaping it into a star that appears raised, and it’s complete.

Make a small hole at the top so you can thread a string through it.

Since only one side looks distinctly raised, it’s recommended to link several with the front side facing outward and display them on a wall.

Simple flower ornament

Simple flower ornament

This is a flower ornament that looks glamorous but is very easy to make! Fold an origami sheet so that each side is divided into eighths, then cut along the creases to make eight strips.

Stack the eight strips, staple them in the center, and place them with the white side facing up.

Apply glue to both ends and stick them down toward the center.

For the second strip, apply glue in the same way and slide it under the center of the first strip before sticking it down.

Make a total of 16 loops, then shape them into a flower at the end, and your floral decoration is complete.

It’s an idea you can use not only for Christmas, so give it a try!
