The paper chain decoration that almost everyone has made at least once! Fold origami paper, cut it into thin strips, roll each strip into a loop and glue the ends together.

From the second loop onward, thread the strip through the previous loop before gluing.

Repeat this process until it reaches your desired length, and in no time your paper chain is complete! It’s very simple, but seeing a paper chain often brings to mind exciting events like birthdays or parties for many people.

To get ready for a fun Christmas, try making a little at a time during craft time.

Santa ornament

[Craft Idea] Christmas Hanging Decorations (December) (Christmas Ornaments) (Activities for Seniors / Occupational Therapy) (Wall Decorations)

This is a charming Santa Claus ornament with a pointy hat.

Place the compass point at the corner of the red origami paper, draw a fan-shaped arc, and cut it out using pinking shears or similar scissors.

Prepare white origami for the beard and beige origami for the face by cutting each into its respective parts, then attach them to the red origami base.

Stick a thread onto the red origami for hanging, roll it into a cone shape, and glue it together to complete your Santa.

If you add cotton to the beard area, it will have a three-dimensional look and turn out even more delightful!

Honeycomb ball with two sheets of origami paper

Seria: Easy honeycomb ball made with two sheets of origami – how to make it

This is a honeycomb ball with a cute round silhouette, perfect as an ornament.

First, fold a sheet of origami paper into four equal squares, then use a paper cup or a compass to draw a circle and cut it out.

Do the same with another sheet of origami to make eight circles in total.

Fold each circle in half and apply a small amount of glue near the center.

Then add a little glue to the top and bottom of each half circle, and attach all eight folded pieces together.

Adhere your preferred thread along the crease, let it dry, then open it up and glue the outer surfaces together.

Try using not only colored origami paper but also various patterned ones for fun.

Rhombus-shaped ornament

[Origami] 3D diamond-shaped ornament / Christmas ornament

This is a three-dimensional rhombus origami decoration with a diamond-like shape that catches the eye.

You can make it in Christmas colors like green and red, or choose sparkling colors like gold and silver.

First fold the origami paper into a triangle, then fold it into a triangle again.

Open the pocketed part, do the same on the other side, then open-fold all four sections.

The key is to fold two parts so that each one shows either the white side or the colored surface.

Connect the two pieces, then string several together with a needle and thread to complete a hanging decoration.

Using your fingers dexterously can also provide brain-training benefits! And of course, it’s great as a tree ornament too.

Double heart hanging ornament

[Origami] Double Heart Decoration - Easy, Cute - Valentine’s Day, White Day, Birthday

A glamorous and cute double-heart origami decoration.

First, divide a 15 cm square sheet of origami paper into eight vertical strips to make long, thin bands.

One double heart can be made from four bands.

Fold one band in half with the colored side facing out, and another band in half with the white side facing out.

Sandwich the colored-side-out band between two full-length bands, then place the white-side-out band on top and staple them together.

Starting from the outer parts, curl each piece inward and down, staple to secure, punch a hole, and hang with thread—and it’s done.

It’s nice that the steps are so simple!
