Origami crafts
Origami is a technique of folding various paper shapes. There are many origami techniques. The simplest ones allow you to perform simple work even for babies. Crafts made using the modular origami technique are suitable for older people. Santa Claus, made using origami technique, is an original gift for the New Year holidays.
Origami Santa Claus made of paper
Making a small figurine is a fairly straightforward process. For work you will need:
- a sheet of one-sided colored paper of red or blue color;
- black and red markers.
The assembly diagram for this craft is very simple. The main condition is to use paper with a white back.
Take a rectangular sheet of paper, put it on the work surface with the white side up. Its short side is connected to the long one so that the colored part forms an isosceles triangle. Excess paper is cut off.
The resulting square, white side up, is placed in front of you. The fold line is vertical. The right and left corners are folded symmetrically to the center line. The folds are gently ironed to create a two-tone figure.
An acute angle is bent upward from themselves. Its top point is at a distance of 1/3 of the white right angle. For small children, this point can be marked with a simple pencil. To do this, divide the white part of the figure with a ruler into three equal parts and mark the upper segment with a pencil.
Turn the workpiece over with the colored side up. First, the white corner is completely folded back. Then it is returned to its original position. 1 cm recede from the resulting line and repeat the fold. The bent corner should line up with the center line. A strip 1 cm wide is also folded towards itself.
The figure is turned over again and the free corners are folded along the lateral line. To fix the craft, the junction of the corners is glued together.
The figure is turned over and, with the help of felt-tip pens, the eyes and nose are drawn. A beard and mustache can be made from a piece of paper left at the beginning of work: it is divided into strips and cut into a fringe. A paper fringe is glued in place of the beard and mustache.
Modular origami technique
Making crafts from paper triangular modules will require accuracy, patience and attention from the master.
To complete the craft, you will need a lot of triangular modules (250 red and white modules and 25 pink triangles). The size of the modules depends on the desired size of the craft. Most often, rectangles are used in size 1/16 of A4 sheet.
Detailed diagrams of crafts are distributed in large numbers on the Internet. There you can also find video tutorials on assembling paper modules and figures from them.
The first three rows of the figure are its base. They are assembled from 25 white modules each, closed in a ring and turned inside out.
The fourth row consists of 25 red modules, which are located with the long side forward.
Starting from the 5th row, which also consists of 25 elements, they begin to make a beard. To do this, collect a ring of 22 red and 3 three white modules. In the next 4 rows, the number of white modules is increased by one element. Moreover, their total number remains unchanged.
Ring 10 is made of 25 white triangles.
From the 11th to the 14th row, the face of the figure is performed. One red element is added to the 11 ring, which is located clearly in the center figures. Scheme of the next row:
- two white elements in the center;
- on each side of them there are 2 pink parts, which are inserted with the short side in front;
- the rest of the ring is made up of white modules.
Rows 13 and 14 consist of 25 pieces, of which 7 and 8 pink pieces will be inserted with the short side forward.
Rows 15 to 18 make up the wizard's hat. Rings 15 and 18 are composed of white modules (22 and 9 elements, respectively). Two red rows are inserted between them, collected from 20 and 18 elements. The technique of reducing the number of modules is described in many workshops on the manufacture of modular figures.
Hands made of 9 red and one white modules are attached to the resulting figure.
The craft is ready. It can be presented as a souvenir by treating it with glue and varnish. A child can be presented with a figure without gluing, which can be disassembled and made up of its elements into another interesting craft.
For the New Year holidays, you can sew Santa Claus and Snegurochka with your own hands from felt. For such crafts, you will need templates and patterns used to make paper applications.
Paper is an affordable material from which you can make New Year's crafts of any complexity. This work does not require any special knowledge and skills. When creating paper crafts, you need to be creative, perseverance, patience and accuracy.

Stages of making Santa Claus:
- Draw a semicircle on a red sheet of paper. It is from it that we will make the body of Santa Claus.
- Cut out a semicircle along the outlined lines to create a body in the form of a cone.
- We twist the cut out part into a cone. We glue the edges with glue.
- We will make the character's face out of yellow paper, but you can use peach, cream or pale pink paper. Cut out and matched paper circle.
- Apply a small amount of glue to the yellow circle and glue it to the red cone. We give a little time for the details to connect.
- In the meantime, we will prepare other elements of the craft that should be cut out of white paper. This is a beard, mustache and bangs.
- We glue the parts one by one.
- In a small gap between the bangs and mustache with a beard, glue the plastic eyes. If you have a black marker with a fine tip and a silver gel pen, you can add graying and sparkling frost to your white beard, mustache and bangs.
- We continue to create a New Year's craft and now we will make a white pom-pom for the hat and hands. They will consist of two elements - sleeves and gloves. Cut the sleeve out of red paper, and the glove (or mitten) out of white. Let's complement the mitten with a New Year's pattern in the form of a snowflake. For the pom-pom, you need white paper, from which we cut out a wavy element.

Modular origami Santa Claus - master class
We will need: sheets of A4 paper: blue - 14 pieces for 211 modules, white - 13 pieces for 207 modules, pink - 1 sheet for 17 modules.
We divide each sheet into 16 rectangles, from which we will make modules.
Step one. Bend the rectangular sheet in half lengthwise. With the help of one more fold, outline the middle line.
Step two. Bend the edges of the folded rectangle to the middle, as shown in the photo. Turn the part over and bend the bottom edges up.
Step three. We fold the corners, bending them over the large triangle, and then we bend these corners inward. We bend the resulting shape in half - so we have learned how to make a module. Now, in the same way, we make the required number of modules, indicated above, from the rest of the paper.
Step four. We start making crafts. We take 5 white modules and place them, as in the photo (we place the module of the upper row with the smaller side up). Next, we collect a chain of 3 rows of white modules. Each row consists of 25 pieces.
Step five. We close the chain in a ring and turn it over. Next, we perform 3 rows with blue modules. From the seventh row we make a beard. To do this, insert 2 white modules with the smaller side out. Insert the rest of the blue modules of the 7th row as usual.
Step five. In the 8th row we fix 3 white modules, as usual, with the long side, the rest of the modules are blue. With each next row, add one white module on each side of the beard.
Step six. In row 11, we insert one red module in the middle of the beard - this is the mouth. The 12th row consists of white modules. We put them on blue modules with the smaller side outward, on white modules (beard) - with the long side, as usual. In the 13th row, opposite the red module, we dress white with the long side outward, and 2 pink modules each with the smaller side (see photo).
Step seven. In the 14th row, we put on 6 pink modules with the smaller side, and we put on the white modules as usual. 15 row - we put on 17 white modules and 8 pink ones. In rows 16 and 17, we put on all white modules with the smaller side out - this is a hat.
Step eight. The last 18th row consists of blue modules with the smaller side out. We collect hands from 3 white modules and 5 blue ones. We glue the finished eyes and insert the spout (detail of the children's mosaic). Santa Claus made of paper using the modular origami technique is ready. We hope that after studying the master class, the Snow Maiden will appear next to your Santa Claus, made in the same technique.

Do Santa Claus made of paper easy enough. To do this, fold a piece of paper (white) with a cone, cut it with scissors where necessary and glue it. The cone that we get should be stable. Next, let's draw Santa Claus with felt-tip pens or paints eyes, mouth, nose, cheeks, hat and hands. And from paper we glue the eyebrows, hair, beard and fringe to the fur coat. Next, cut out the fringe from the paper and glue it to Santa Claus's hat. Let's paint Santa's sheepskin coat with snowflakes. As a result, you will get Santa Claus, as in this photo:
Or the second version of paper Santa Claus... Let's print the picture attached below. Next, we cut out the parts of Santa Claus, sognm and glue it, as in this diagram:
It's easy to make Santa Claus out of paper. For example. you can use this lesson here and make Santa Claus.
To make it, you only need a sheet of paper (on one side the paper should be red, and on the other - white) and scissors. Cut out a rectangle, then put the sheet in front of you so that one of the sharp sides is looking at you, then fold the sides as shown in Figure 2. At the next stage, fold the corner with the opposite corner and turn the craft over (Figure 4).
An excellent option for making Santa Claus out of paper with your children. You will need red cardboard, white paper, paints or pencils, some cotton wool or foam, glue, and scissors. To begin with, we take red cardboard and make a cone out of it, this is our future hat. We decorate the cone at the top and along the edge with cotton wool, just glue it on the glue. Next, we take cardboard of yellow, white or beige color and again make a cone, but larger in size than the red one (cap), this will be our Grandfather's body. Now draw with a pencil the outlines that will separate the face and clothes. Paint the bottom red, and draw eyes and cheeks on the face. You can make a beard out of paper, cut it into strips, or glue cotton wool. On the hem, collar and along the body we glue cotton wool again. We draw hands, cut out and glue them to the body. By the way, you don't need to glue cotton wool, you can just paint it with white paint, but with cotton wool, the craft will look more beautiful.
They are all pretty easy to make. You can also try Santa Claus from origami modules. It will turn out something like this.
Of course, such work will require much more effort and time, but such a souvenir can be presented to someone for a holiday.
Time goes fast. And the closer to the New Year, the more it is gaining momentum. So much more needs to be done to take stock of the outgoing year and prepare for the next one ... My six-year-old son has asked me not for the first time when will we decorate the tree. Soon, I answer. And I propose for the time being to practice on his own miniature Christmas tree, which he does, and more than once. Yes, we have yet to learn patience)))
In general, everything is ready for the installation of the Christmas tree - there is the New Year's beauty itself, and the toys ... And under the Christmas tree branches we have the main attribute of the holiday - Santa Claus, made of cardboard.
Albina Zinovieva shared with me and with all the readers of KARTONKINO the idea of how to make Santa Claus with your own hands from cardboard.
Strictly speaking, one cannot do with cardboard, we also need some fleece and synthetic winterizer, watercolor and scrap paper (which, however, you can choose any suitable alternative), white acrylic paint and even ... a pinch of salt. And of course - tools (scissors, thread with a needle) and glue. Such is the "porridge from the ax")
In general, we will make Santa Claus from what is at hand. And if you happen to have cardboard sleeves from rolls of toilet paper that you prudently did not throw away in the hope that someday they will be useful, then now is the time to remember about them.
So, the sleeve is on the table. Let's get started)
First, we will make a bottom and a lid from designer cardboard (but you can also from ordinary one). We will measure the diameter of the sleeve and cut out the corresponding blanks.
By the way, if you have a lot of stress with stocks of cardboard bushings, a cylinder for the body of Santa Claus can be made from cardboard yourself. I showed how to calculate the dimensions of parts and draw templates in a graphic editor, using the example of round boxes. See if this might come in handy.
We glue the bottom and glue the lid.
Cut out the details of the physiognomy drawn by hand (or in Photoshop) from watercolor paper. Lightly tint the edges with a stamp pad.
We glue all the parts together and glue the resulting structure to the cylinder.
The spout is made of a small piece of padding polyester, gathered in a circle on a thread, and glued.
To give the effect of "snowiness" of the beard, you can apply white acrylic paint along its edges and then, while the paint has not dried, sprinkle the beard with fine salt, shake it and wait until it dries.
To make the cap, cut out 2 triangles from red fleece with a base equal to the diameter of the cardboard cylinder.
We sew them together and turn out the cap. And from a small piece of padding polyester, just like the nose, we make a pom-pom, and sew it to the edge of the cap. After that, the cap, lightly stuffed with padding polyester, put it on the lid, gluing it to the glue-moment.
Decorate the cap with a strip of white fleece. Or you can replace the fleece with New Year's tinsel.
And finally, the final touch is the fashionable buckle belt. Cut out the belt itself from colored paper with curly scissors and glue it to the "body". We also cut out a small square along the width of the belt with a small window and glue it on top.
That's it, now you can show off:
Such a craft is a great reason for joint creativity with children. And on the eve of the New Year, our Santa Claus made of cardboard will help make it easier for the child to wait for the main moment by "presenting" him with a small but pleasant surprise.
We wish you a cheerful New Year mood!
And see you again in KARTONKINO !
