Cute winter fairy
Here’s an idea for making a little fairy using two sheets of origami paper.
The face takes 7 folds and the body takes 4 folds to complete! Let’s start with the face.
Place the paper with the white side up, fold it in half by matching the left and right corners, crease well, then open it.
Next, fold the top left and right edges in to meet the center crease.
Flip the paper over, fold the bottom corner up into a triangle, then fold it up again so the whole paper forms an isosceles triangle.
Flip it over, fold the bottom two corners inward, and the face is done.
For the body, follow the same steps up to making the creases and folding the left and right edges to the center.
From there, fold the bottom corner up to form an isosceles triangle, and the body is complete! Glue the parts together, then draw the face and hair to finish.
How to fold socks (also works as ornaments!)
Perfect for Christmas decorations! Let’s make a stocking with origami.
First, place the origami paper color side up and fold down the top edge by about 2 centimeters.
Flip the paper over, then fold the left and right edges inward by about 2 centimeters as well.
Next, fold the bottom right corner outward, then fold up the bottom edge by about 1 centimeter.
Turn the paper back to the front, and your stocking is complete! If you’re using plain origami paper, you can decorate it afterward by adding stickers or drawing patterns with crayons.
Cute Santa you can make with a single sheet of origami!
https://www.tiktok.com/@hoiku.labo/video/7306401992216268034When it comes to Christmas decorations, you just can’t leave out Santa! You can easily make one with a single sheet of red origami paper, so give it a try and put it on display.
First, crease an X diagonally, then fold one corner toward the center crease and make five small accordion folds upward.
Next, take the opposite corner and fold it up in a large flap, then fold a small portion back down to reveal a white edge.
Flip it over, fold both sides toward the center line and open them, then fold the sides in again along the creases you just made.
Shape it neatly and you’re done.
Don’t forget to draw Santa’s face with a pen!

This idea uses six sheets of quarter-size origami paper.
Fold each sheet in half twice to make a small triangle.
Starting from the folded edge, make three evenly spaced cuts parallel to the triangle’s base.
Be careful not to cut all the way through.
Gently open the paper, then first glue together the top and bottom corners of the innermost layer.
Skip one and glue the third set of corners in the same way, then flip the paper over.
Next, glue the second and fourth sets of corners together.
Once you have six identical pieces, attach the ends to each other to complete the snowflake.
A snowman that folds after 7 times plus 4 times
Let’s make seven snowmen and four hats.
For the hats, use origami paper that is one quarter the size of the snowman’s paper.
We’ll start with the snowman: with the colored side facing up, fold the paper in half by bringing the top and bottom edges together, crease well, then unfold.
Next, fold the bottom edge up to the crease, and fold the top edge down so it aligns about 1 cm above the crease.
Flip the paper over, fold the left and right edges together to make a center crease, then fold both the left and right edges in to meet that crease.
Finally, fold all four corners inward, and the snowman is complete! Now for the hat: fold the paper into a triangle.
Fold the top corner of the triangle down to meet the bottom edge, then fold both the left and right edges up to align with the top edge.
That completes the hat.
Glue the two together and draw a face on the snowman to finish.
How to fold an easy and cute gift
Many children probably look forward to Christmas presents.
Let’s express that excitement about gifts with origami! First, prepare your favorite origami paper.
Fold it in half vertically and open it, then fold both sides toward the crease.
Repeat this process three times so that long, narrow folded sections are created on both sides.
Next, flip it over, fold both sides toward the center crease, flip it over again, and fold in half to make a crease.
Fold one end toward the crease twice, open the colored section to form a ribbon, then fold the remaining part up toward this section and tuck it inside to finish.
A long-tailed tit that can stand up or be displayed as a decoration
In winter, the long-tailed tit (Shima-enaga) becomes covered in pure white feathers, transforming into a plump and adorable figure.
Using a single sheet of black origami, you can make a stand-up type Shima-enaga—let’s give it a try! First, crease diagonally and vertically to make an X.
Fold it into a square as if tucking everything inward so it becomes about one-quarter of the original size.
On one side, fold in the surrounding paper so that the surface turns black.
Also make a tail on the black side so it can stand.
After folding in half, create a long, thin crease to mark the boundary between the face and the body.
Fold back the bottom and both ends of the white side to form the wings and feet, and you’re done! Draw the Shima-enaga’s face with a pen or add stickers to complete it.
Pooh
Let Pooh’s laid-back personality soothe you! Here are some Winnie-the-Pooh craft ideas.
When you think of “Pooh,” you probably picture the main character from the various stories of Winnie the Pooh.
Many people find his way of speaking, his personality, and his cute, round form comforting.
This time, let’s make Pooh with origami.
You’ll need yellow-toned origami paper, a pen, and colored pencils.
It’s simple, but the key step is making the ears, so it’s best to focus as you work.
Totoro
Here’s an introduction to Totoro origami, still popular thanks to the film.
There are three sizes of Totoro, and each can be folded from a single sheet of origami paper.
Which size of Totoro is most popular with girls? Try making your favorite Totoro! It also sounds fun to fold acorns and corn from the movie out of origami.
My Neighbor Totoro is a film enjoyed by people of all ages, and it makes a great topic to share with children—so folding Totoro origami can be a nice way to communicate while you create together.
Heart Medal
How about making a heart-shaped medal as a gift for yourself for working hard, or for friends and parents? You can use an origami heart as it is, or make one from a rectangle folded in half.
Once you’ve folded the heart, attach a ribbon so it can be worn around the neck.
If you’re worried the folded parts might come undone, we recommend securing them with glue or tape.
Make medals in different colors and give them to lots of people!
