Themed Models: Some people, especially cooperations and businesses, will have a themed tree. The American Museum of Natural History in New York uses a different theme each year:

Most projects here will need a sheet of square paper – the traditional shape of origami paper. Though there are some projects that require a rectangle. The rectangular paper projects are great for using printer paper cut in half! Paper Kawaii has many (400+) origami and paper craft tutorials to offer. Whether you are a dedicated origami folder, or you need to find a handmade gift idea, craft to sell in your stores or gift boxes for presents, this is a great free resource.

Top 12 Best Origami Kits & Books for Children: Keep your little ones occupied for hours creatively instead of screen time While you can make these with regular paper I really recommend using origami paper as it’s easier to fold and the creations you make will keep their shape which isn’t always the case with your regular paper (plus you can get a lovely festive version of origami paper). We have different types of Christmas Origami projects here today. Some would be classed as “proper origami”, others are origami based – for example our super popular Christmas Corner Bookmark – the bookmark itself is the classic origami corner bookmark, but then needs to be decorated to turn it into a Christmas theme! Other paper projects – e.g. the simple origami gift box, are made from just paper! Are you looking forward to Christmas full of merriment and joyous laughter? Give way to a festive mood by hanging a chain of dancing Santas on the wall. The video below shows the simple way children can craft the Father Christmas swaying merrily to a song. It is similar to a regular origami Santa. Note that the majority of these origami tutorials are video tutorials, as the video really does lend itself for explaining the step-by-step process. I hope you agree!
