Origami at Christmas can be an enjoyable activity for the whole family. Create beautiful holiday decorations such as stars, snowmen, reindeer and Christmas trees or simply have some hand-crafted fun with loved ones while practicing the art of origami.

Origami neophytes should follow instructions closely. Missing even a single fold can affect the success of a project. Familiarity with the symbols and basic folds used in origami is also important. Use thin, crisp paper to fold. Practice folding models before using expensive paper, as a mistake can be costly. Take your time and don't rush while folding.

Holiday origami can consist of popular seasonal imagery, such as Santa Claus, Christmas trees, wreaths, reindeer and holiday stars. But you can also give classic origami forms a Christmas twist. For instance, why not hide small gifts in handmade origami boxes?
