Origami Christmas tree

[Origami] How to make an easy 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.

3D Christmas candle

How to make an origami 3D Christmas candle | Origami 3D candle instructions

This is a three-dimensional candle motif assembled from origami.

Use an accordion-folded piece of origami as the base, then place a white sheet with the same accordion folds over it.

Next, fold in the diagonal creases you made on the top sheet, attach the flame piece there, and it’s complete.

Its simple appearance makes it easy to add decorations, and your choice of colors can really show your personality.

It might also be fun to connect several pieces of origami to make a large candle.

Christmas garland

Easy with tape! Christmas garland [craft]

A simple and charming Christmas garland featuring a row of trees made from plastic ribbon (suzuran tape).

The trees are easy to make: wrap the suzuran tape around a backing sheet, cut open one side, and shape it so it flares downward—then it’s done.

Tie the uncut side firmly to keep the shape from loosening, attach a star motif, and use it to hide the knot.

While green is the classic color for trees, we recommend also incorporating red and other colors to decorate them in a festive, eye-catching way.

snow globe

Super easy! Great for learning, too!? The snow globe is just too cute 💖🎄 Let’s make one with the kids for Christmas!

Snow globes are a classic winter-themed decoration, but they also carry the strong image of being three-dimensional ornaments that require a fair amount of space.

This craft preserves the snow globe’s atmosphere while adapting it to a flat format, combining beauty with ease of display.

Cut a sponge sheet into a circular frame, then layer it with two circular pieces cut from a clear file and the sponge.

It’s important to leave a gap in the clear file; by placing decorations in this space, you create the snow globe vibe.

The choice of sponge sheet color and the types of decorations you use are also key points for conveying that quintessential snow globe feel.
