Cute Santa and an origami Christmas tree

How to make a cute Santa with a fluffy paper beard and an origami Christmas tree / How to make a cute Santa Claus and Christmas tree with paper

Just by putting a little decoration in your room, you can instantly get into the Christmas spirit with these “cute Santa and origami Christmas trees.” The charm of this craft is that you can make it with familiar materials like colored construction paper, origami paper, and toilet paper rolls! For both crafts, the main steps involve cutting and pasting colored paper or origami.

A key point is using toilet paper for Santa’s hat and outfit’s white trim, as well as his beard! For the beard in particular, the toilet paper is torn by hand to give it a fluffy finish.

If you’re incorporating this into a day-service craft activity, it might go smoothly if you assign roles and have everyone divide up the tasks.

Christmas carries a strong sacred image, and angels—who seem to bring happiness—are a perfect motif, don’t you think? Let’s use angel ornaments to give your Christmas a soft, gentle atmosphere.

This section will become the body and arms, so handle it gently to avoid creases.

After that, attach a ping-pong ball for the head and add the wing parts to finish.
