Let’s make a snowman with a single sheet of origami!

[Origami] Winter Origami | Easy one-sheet snowman folding tutorial! With a hat for December Christmas decorations

Many kids want to make snowmen in winter, don’t they? Here’s an idea for an origami snowman.

First, fold the top corner of the origami paper into a small triangle and fold it down about 1 cm.

This will be the pom-pom on top of the hat.

Next, tightly roll-fold the right corner twice to create the hat’s white brim.

Fold the paper in half by matching the left and right edges, then fold the brim section back outward to match the width of the rolled folds.

Align the top and bottom to make the paper a square, then lift the top-left corner (two layers) and fold it to the opposite corner.

With the pom-pom at the top, turn the paper over, and fold the lower left and right edges toward the center line.

Open the pocket on the right side and squash-fold it, shaping it into a snowman.

Here’s an idea for making a papercut design with origami.

First, fold the paper into a triangle by bringing the top and bottom corners together.

Cross the two triangle corners inward and fold where they overlap neatly.

Draw a crystal-like pattern and cut it with scissors.

Open the paper to reveal your design.

The crystal’s look changes depending on how you make the cuts, so try different variations.

The moment you open it and wonder, “What pattern will it be?” is so exciting and fun.
