Christmas flag

Christmas Origami [Flag] How to Make It ◇ Christmas Decorations ♪ Christmas Decor “Flags” Easy Origami Paper Craft Tutorial

It’s a simple decoration made of colorful triangles lined up in a row.

Flags may often evoke the image of a sports day, but by focusing on Christmas colors—red, green, and white—and incorporating winter motifs, you can create a strong festive atmosphere.

The steps are simple: take a square sheet of origami paper, fold it into a triangle to make a crease, and use that crease as a guide to create a long, narrow triangle.

Another important point is to prepare the opposite side of the triangle so that you can thread a string through it at the end.

Heart coaster

Perfect for tea time ☕️🍭 An easy DIY felt coaster ♡

How about an easy-to-make heart-shaped felt coaster? You don’t even need to sew—just use glue.

Round the edges and cut two pieces of felt into the same shape, then make vertical slits in both.

Interlace the slits one by one, folding them together like a weave.

Glue the last section to finish.

If you don’t round the edges or leave excess, you can weave with strip-shaped felt to make a square coaster.

Try different color combinations you like.
