Make these colorful Christmas Tree ornaments using bright and cheery origami paper! These are so easy and teach kids folding skills.Looking for a fun way to decorate the tree this year? Why not try your hand at making this Origami Wrapper Chain Ornament? Hi! It’s Leslie from Pink Stripey Socks. Today I’m sharing a new spin on gum wrapper chains. Instead of candy wrappers, we’re using origami paper to put a modern and colorful twist on this classic craft. So turn up the Christmas carols, grab a pack of Origami paper, and let’s get making some unique Christmas tree ornaments!

Materials Needed:

  • Origami Paper in various colors
  • Scissors
  • String
  • Glue

step-1234Step 1: Fold a sheet of origami paper in half. Cut it in half.

Step 2: Take one half sheet. Place it color side down. Fold it in half and open it up.

Step 3: Fold up both sides so that they touch in the middle (at the crease made in step 2.)

Step 4: Fold your sheet of paper in half (using the crease made in step 2.)

step-5678Step 5: Fold it in half again.

Step 6: Now fold your very thin paper in half again and open it up.

Step 7: Fold both left and right sides of the paper to meet in the middle (at the crease made in step 6)

Step 8: Repeat this several times. (My paper was 5.9” x5.9”, so I made about 18 of these to create a full wreath. You may need more or fewer depending on your papers’ size and your preference for ornament size.)

step-10Step 10: Slide the top portion of one V into the top portion of another V. Then slide your folded paper through so that it catches. (The bottom portion of the peach V is inside the top portion of the blue V.)

    They look so colourful and cute! Great because I haven’t yet bought my decorations for my tree this year.
