How to make Santa Claus from origami paper. Modular origami Santa Claus. Santa Claus made of paper using origami technique - master class

To make New Year's crafts using the origami technique, you will naturally need paper. The most important thing is that you don’t necessarily need special paper for origami; regular colored red paper will do (the back side should be white so that the lapels of Santa Claus’ fur coat are visible).

Before you start folding Santa Clauses using the origami technique, look at the symbols. Descriptions for some diagrams are in English, but the arrows have the same meanings all over the world.

Simple Santa Claus template for folding

Print out a square picture, cut it out and fold it as shown.





The next option can be used as a Christmas tree decoration or a gift tag, and if you make it large, it can also be used as a gift envelope for money.

The most fun and long-awaited holiday is New Year. Both adults and children look forward to it. At this time, all dreams come true, everyone receives a gift. And they are always presented by the kind and beloved Grandfather Frost.
Look, what a grandfather -
Dressed in a white fur coat,
Frost in long hair
And icicles on the mustache!
He has (wow!)
Ice beard,
And when he nods
A quiet ringing is heard!
And they rush to this ringing
Kids from all sides -
Both boys and girls
And hares and squirrels...
Their grandfather, by the way,
Sprinkles with white snow.
It’s immediately obvious that grandfather loves
And children, and white...
From embroidered mittens
Grandfather releases tits.
They scurry around next to him,
Sing winter songs!
Attached to the road
Bag embroidered with gold,
He, under the snow-star flag,
He's coming towards us with great strides!
And leads by the hand
Little granddaughter!
Not a single New Year's holiday can do without this hero. Usually this is a respected old man in a fur coat, hat, beard and mustache. He has a wonderful staff and, of course, a bag of gifts. Let's make the figure of Santa Claus ourselves using the origami technique.

Description:

For work we will need: colored single-sided paper, scissors and felt-tip pens.


Step 1. Take a sheet of colored paper (the fur coat can be blue or red, or just white). Fold the corner of the rectangle over, bringing the short side down onto the long side.
Step 2. Cut a strip along the resulting triangle.


Step 3. Expand the shape. Arrange the square in a diamond shape. First bend one side towards the midline.


Step 4. Then fold the other side towards the middle. You will get the basic “kite” shape.


Step 5. Lift the bottom corner up, dividing the resulting shape in half.


Step 6: Turn the folded sheet over.


Step 7. Lower the top corner, about 2 centimeters from the corner, this will be the face of Santa Claus.


Step 8. Fold back another 1 centimeter to open the cap.


Step 9. Now fold the bottom corners back, on one side and then on the other.


Step 10. You will get this figurine of Santa Claus.


Step 11. Now you need to draw his eyes.


Now you can give it to your grandmother by putting a small chocolate or candy inside.


And we made these Santa Clauses at school last year.


And this is me and my classmates.

We will begin our story about Santa Claus crafts made from origami paper with the simplest option. Perhaps this is one of the easiest ways to make origami Santa Claus. Even a child of senior preschool age can cope with such a New Year's craft with a little help from an adult. Origami Santa Claus can be used to decorate a New Year's card or gift tag. Here is the origami diagram of Santa Claus.

1. Origami Santa Claus. Origami Santa Claus scheme

To make origami Santa Claus you will need a square sheet of paper. On one side it should be red, on the other - white. You need to fold a sheet of paper as shown in the diagram.

Look what spectacular cards you get if you decorate them with origami Santa Claus.

2. Santa Claus made of origami paper. How to make origami Santa Claus

Here is a more complex, but at the same time more interesting version of Santa Claus origami. Below we provide a detailed diagram of Santa Claus made from origami paper. For this Santa Claus origami, you will also need a square-shaped piece of paper. On one side it should be red, on the other - white. First, you need to fold a sheet of paper twice diagonally to mark the middle lines. Next, we fold the origami of Santa Claus according to the diagram. In fact, everything is very simple. We draw your attention to the fact that at the end, when we make origami sleeves for Santa Claus, we need to tuck them into the paper “pockets” at the back so that behind the back of Santa Claus the origami paper will be the least likely to puff up and stick out unsightly. Something, of course, will still stick out. But it doesn’t matter, you can glue it on.


On YouTube you will find a video on how to make origami Santa Claus.


Using a detailed master class on making origami Santa Claus, we made these cute little guys out of paper. By the way, don’t forget to finish drawing your already completed origami Santa Claus’s eyes, mouth and nose.

Here is an example of a postcard decorated with origami Santa Claus.

Another origami Santa Claus made of paper. To be honest, he looks more like our European Santa Claus or just a fairy-tale gnome rather than our Russian Father Frost.

Making this origami Santa Claus out of paper is much easier than it might seem at first glance. The photo below shows in detail how to make a torso and head with a cap for Santa Claus from origami paper.



Just in case, we will also present here a diagram of this origami Santa Claus. Perhaps it will be easier for someone to make origami Santa Claus according to a diagram than from a photo.

At the end of our review article, we would like to present here two more interesting origami schemes for Santa Claus. The first diagram is Santa Claus made of paper with a bag of gifts behind his back. When you fold this origami Santa Claus out of paper, carefully follow the numbering of the pictures so as not to make a mistake.

Father Frost
Santa Claus walked through the forest
Past the maples and birches,
Past the clearings, past the stumps,
I walked through the forest for eight days.
He walked through the forest -
I decorated the Christmas trees with beads.
On this New Year's night
He'll take them down for the boys.
There is silence in the clearings,
The yellow moon is shining.
All the trees are silver
Hares are dancing on the mountain,
The ice sparkles on the pond,
New Year is coming.
Z. Alexandrova

Necessary materials:


- a sheet of colored paper, red or blue;
-PVA glue;
- glue brush;
-scissors;
-vata;
- felt-tip pens.

Take a sheet of colored paper. It is usually rectangular in shape. Fold as shown in the photo, cut off the excess part.


The result is a square. Place it with the wrong side up, with the corner from which the fold line comes towards you.


We begin to bend the right corner of the square, as shown in the photo.


Then we bend the left corner in the same way. Don't forget to iron the fold line each time.


Bend the bottom corner of the resulting figure away from you, as shown in the photo.


Turn it over.


Now bend the top corner towards you, as shown in the photo.


We bend it towards ourselves again, as in the photo.


Turn it over.


Bend the left corner downwards, focusing along the side line.


Then we bend the right corner in the same way. The bent corners can be glued together so that they do not open.
