Christmas tree wall decoration made with origami
Let’s decorate your walls with a must-have Christmas item—a tree—to build excitement for the season.
The key is to layer pieces cut from three sheets of origami paper to clearly convey the tree’s three-dimensional feel.
Fold the origami into a triangular screen shape, trim the edges, and attach the pieces while keeping the stepped layers in mind.
Adding wooden pieces and ornaments helps make it unmistakably a Christmas tree.
You can use a single tree as a decorative accent, or line several up to create a large tree—there are many ways to use this idea.
3D poinsettia with origami
Introducing a three-dimensional origami poinsettia to get you in the Christmas spirit! It’s perfect for holiday decorations and as a tree ornament.
The key to this origami is to proceed while making crisp, precise creases.
Because it’s shaped in 3D, some of the intricate steps and fine folds may be challenging.
For a glamorous finish, decorate the center of the flower with a gold bead! Make plenty to arrange into a wreath, or use them as casual gifts.
Origami and tissue paper New Year decorations
If you handcraft New Year’s decorations, you can really feel the changing of the seasons! As the New Year approaches, why not try incorporating this into a winter craft activity? The charm of these New Year’s decorations is that they’re easy to make using origami and tissue paper.
By combining a paper flower made from accordion-folded tissue paper and a fan folded in the same accordion style, you can create a lovely New Year’s decoration that rivals store-bought ones.
Creations made at the day-service center can be taken home and enjoyed by displaying them at the entrance, for example.
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.
Cute ema made with finger stamps
This activity involves pasting a large illustration of the zodiac in the center of construction paper cut into the shape of an ema plaque, then decorating around it with paint.
By applying the paint with your fingers, you can add softness and a sense of depth.
Consider how to arrange auspicious, New Year–themed elements and decorate your ema with your own design.
Since the unique feel comes from not using a brush, if you’re uncomfortable getting paint on your fingers, try using familiar tools instead.
It’s also fun to observe how the paint looks different depending on the method you use.
Star Garland
This is a star-shaped garland with a striking, raised form toward the center—perfect for Christmas decorations.
The process is simple: stack triangles firmly as if layering them, cut with scissors, then shape the piece once it’s unfolded.
It’s important not only to cut out a star shape, but also to add creases that connect each point and the center; making these folds evenly and firmly creates a three-dimensional effect.
Next, punch a hole at the top and string several stars together—done! For display, aim to emphasize the 3D look by arranging them along a wall in a way that hides the back side; that style is highly recommended.

Camellia flower wall decoration
A festive-looking camellia wall decoration made with origami! It’s a perfect piece to enjoy the winter season, so give it a try by hand.
To make the camellia petals, fold a circular piece of origami paper, sketch the petal shape, and cut it out with scissors.
For the center of the camellia, cut a strip of origami paper, fold it in half, make fine cuts along the top and bottom, then wrap it around a plastic bottle cap.
The camellia alone is lovely, but pairing it with paper fans made from Japanese-patterned origami or adding strings to turn it into a hanging decoration will make it even more eye-catching.
