Origami for Christmas

 Something that truly excites me about origami, is specifying it to an occasion or national holiday, Christmas especially. I can't wait to dig in and get some lovely pieces made for Christmas... to truly bring joy and happiness this holiday season!
wreaths, Christmas trees, Santa clauses... oh the possibilities are limitless!
Here is a list of projects I am excited to undertake:

Braided Corona star ( I also wanna try it in silver and purple


                                                    Christmas Tree Star
                                                    ( I have completed several of these, probably the easiest                                                     decorations I have ever made)

                                                     3D origami Fir tree
                                   
                                                     Beautiful Christmas wreath           

If you click the title, it will link you to an instructional video!! :) 
I loved making this. The whole process from folding the paper, to choosing the beads, it was so much fun :) Here are my two wreaths. One is blue and dark blue, the other is green and designed green. I hope you like these.

Smaller and easier projects

Christmas Santa
(I gave up on this...I cannot get the beard right)


Paper snowflakes (non origami)
cannot wait to try these

I made two of these, from instructional videos, they seemed kind of awkward. To be honest, I thought they would be thrown on the scrap heap. However, my grandmother found a beautiful place to put them, and they look wonderful.
