Star-shaped Santa Claus

[Christmas Origami] How to make a star-shaped Santa Claus with one sheet 🎅 How to make paper Santa Claus #Christmas #圣诞节 #Star #Easy #HowToFold #Origami #Paper

Both stars and Santa Claus are essential for Christmas—let’s brighten the season with an adorable mascot that combines the two.

The idea is to use red origami to evoke Santa’s outfit and shape it into a star to create the mascot.

Another key point is forming it into a three-dimensional shape using the creases as guides; the rounded volume enhances its cuteness.

How you draw the face is also an important point where you can add your own originality.

Mickey Santa

Mickey and Minnie: A Christmas Wish | @disneyjuniorjp

Let’s have fun decorating for Christmas with a Mickey Mouse mascot dressed like Santa Claus.

The base is made from red origami paper, folded into a triangle to create the hat and outfit.

You’ll then decorate the folded sections and edges to complete the Mickey Mouse look.

Adding the scarf piece is also an important step, as it enhances the overall softness and three-dimensional feel.

Since the overall color is red, it’s recommended to use accent colors that make the red stand out even more in your decorations.

Holly and Bells

[Origami] How to Make 3 Types of Holly and a Bell (Christmas Craft)

Decorating with holly at Christmas is a classic tradition, and it carries the meaning of warding off evil.

How about brightening up your Christmas with a mascot featuring holly—imbued with that sacred image—and a bell? Crease green origami paper, then use the folds as guides to shape it into holly with two spreading leaves.

The key for the bell is to create steps by folding back sections; let’s finish it neatly and precisely.

Combine the pieces at the end to complete the decoration, and for an even more vivid look, we recommend adding red accents.

stained-glass-style ornament

[Christmas Craft] Easy with Coloring Pages ♪ Stained-Glass-Style Wall Decoration — Part 2

Beautiful stained glass not only looks stunning but also adds a festive touch to Christmas! While making real stained glass can feel intimidating, a stained-glass-style decoration is easy enough for seniors to try.

Place a sheet of clear cellophane over a template like a Christmas tree, and trace the design with a thick pen.

Adding stained-glass-style lines around the tree will make it look even prettier.

Next, flip the cellophane over and color it in with markers.

It’s best to leave no blank spaces for a more vibrant finish.

Finally, crumple a sheet of aluminum foil, then smooth it out and wrap it around a piece of thick paper.

Attach the colored cellophane on top—and you’re done! Even a plain wall will feel festive with just this one decoration.
