Holly and Bells
Decorating with holly at Christmas is a classic tradition, and it carries the meaning of warding off evil.
How about brightening up your Christmas with a mascot featuring holly—imbued with that sacred image—and a bell? Crease green origami paper, then use the folds as guides to shape it into holly with two spreading leaves.
The key for the bell is to create steps by folding back sections; let’s finish it neatly and precisely.
Combine the pieces at the end to complete the decoration, and for an even more vivid look, we recommend adding red accents.
candle
The image of Christmas night is gently illuminated by candlelight, and that soft glow conveys a magical atmosphere.
With a candle character—something essential for Christmas—let’s brighten up the calendar.
Choose origami paper to match the color of the candle’s flame, keep the shape of the flame, and then fold the rest into a tube with the white side on the inside to complete the candle body.
After that, attach the arms and legs, draw the facial expression, and you’ll have an adorable character.
Christmas ornament
While Christmas trees feature a variety of decorations, it’s the simple ornaments that really make the colors pop.
This piece highlights how indispensable these ornaments are and aims to accentuate the joy of the season through them.
The process involves adding a lattice of creases to origami paper and using those as a guide to shape it into a circle, with the folding method also creating a jagged pattern.
The finished piece looks simple, but it’s a craft that requires meticulous folding work.
stick candy
Stick candies shaped like canes are a Christmas classic—used not only as treats to eat but also as decorations.
This content shows how to make those colorful stick candies using origami.
The method involves tightly rolling the origami, alternating between colored and white sections.
The way you roll is the most important point: keeping each stripe the same width leads to a beautiful result.
Finally, bend it to look like a stick and add some dimensionality, and it’s complete.
present
Christmas presents from Santa Claus are an exciting and important event for children, aren’t they? Let’s capture that Christmas excitement with decorations inspired by gift boxes.
Because the shape is simple—a square wrapped with a ribbon—it’s important to pay close attention to the creases and how you layer the paper to achieve a three-dimensional finish.
When you use a single sheet of origami to make both the ribbon and the box, the well-defined creases help it look more three-dimensional.
Star-shaped Santa Claus
Both stars and Santa Claus are essential for Christmas—let’s brighten the season with an adorable mascot that combines the two.
The idea is to use red origami to evoke Santa’s outfit and shape it into a star to create the mascot.
Another key point is forming it into a three-dimensional shape using the creases as guides; the rounded volume enhances its cuteness.
How you draw the face is also an important point where you can add your own originality.
Mickey Santa
Let’s have fun decorating for Christmas with a Mickey Mouse mascot dressed like Santa Claus.
The base is made from red origami paper, folded into a triangle to create the hat and outfit.
You’ll then decorate the folded sections and edges to complete the Mickey Mouse look.
Adding the scarf piece is also an important step, as it enhances the overall softness and three-dimensional feel.
Since the overall color is red, it’s recommended to use accent colors that make the red stand out even more in your decorations.
