Chimney Santa

[Christmas Origami] Chimney Santa with One Sheet 🎅 How to make a chimney Santa #chimney #Santa #smokestack #Santa #Klaus #Christmas #easy #howto #origami #paperfolding #paperart

At Christmas, the story of Santa Claus carrying gifts and coming into the house through the chimney is well known.

Let’s recreate that magical scene with origami.

We’ll start by creasing the paper and then proceed with the steps.

There are some small, detailed parts, so if older adults find it difficult, those around them should offer support.

Older adults who are good at origami will likely enjoy making it.

When Santa’s cute face starts to appear as you fold, some people might find themselves smiling without realizing it.

Besides wall decorations, it also makes a lovely piece when added to a calendar or a wreath.

three-dimensional star

[Easy Tanabata Decorations] 3D Star Made from a Single Sheet of Origami Paper [Display Without Pins] Wall and Hanging Decorations DIY — How to Make Paper Stars. Origami. Papercraft.

This is a three-dimensional star ornament 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 make cuts with scissors to form a star shape.

Next, use the pre-made creases as a guide to refine the shape, adjusting it so the star appears raised, and you’re done.

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

Since only one side clearly appears raised, it’s recommended to connect them so the front faces outward and display them on a wall.

Three-dimensional tree mobile

How to Make a 3D Christmas Tree Mobile — It spins round and round when you hang it!

This is a three-dimensional hanging decoration inspired by the must-have Christmas tree.

Prepare three pieces of paper cut into tree and star shapes, and fold each in half.

Then glue them together at the center, punch holes at the top and bottom, and thread a string through.

You’ll have a Christmas tree with six “wings” fanned out! A fun point is how those spread wings catch the faint breeze in the room and gently spin.

Adding small decorations like beads can make it look festive and interesting, but if they’re too heavy it won’t spin as easily, so it’s important to consider the balance.

Santa Claus

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

Recommended for anyone thinking, “The walls look a bit bare this year—maybe I’ll make some Christmas decorations!” How about a hanging Santa Claus ornament? It can also be used as a tree ornament, so if you have a tree, it might be nice to hang it there too.

Using red origami paper, draw a quarter circle with a compass and cut it out.

Next, cut a slightly smaller quarter circle from white origami paper to make the fluffy brim of Santa’s hat.

Glue the white piece onto the red piece, attach some clear fishing line to the back, then roll it into a cone shape and secure it.

Draw Santa’s beard and face, and you’ve got an adorable decoration! The detailed work also helps train your fingertips—two birds with one stone.
