DIY Origami Ornaments Make Beautiful Christmas Party Decorations

December 19, 2015 by Dana Hinders

origami ornaments

If you’re on the hunt for inexpensive yet stunning handmade party decorations that will continue to add charm to your space long after the event is over, these origami ornaments are a fantastic choice! Not only are they budget-friendly, but they also have a sophisticated elegance that will make them stand out. What I love most about these ornaments is the beautiful color scheme and the added touch of metallic beaded tops, which give them a refined, high-end look that’s perfect for any occasion.

Making these origami ornaments is a simple yet rewarding project. To create each ornament, you’ll need two sheets of origami paper, liquid glue, a paintbrush, thread, and beads. The materials are easily accessible, and once you’ve got everything together, you can start folding your paper into beautiful shapes. The process is enjoyable and allows for a lot of creativity, so you can mix and match colors and designs to fit the theme of your event or simply to suit your personal style.

These ornaments aren’t just for parties either—once the event is over, they can be displayed in your home as a unique, handmade keepsake that reminds you of the good times. They can be hung on the wall, draped across a mantel, or even used as a part of your holiday decorations. Plus, they make wonderful, thoughtful gifts for friends and family members who appreciate handmade artistry.

To guide you through the creation process, All Things Paper offers detailed instructions, including helpful video tutorials to make sure you can follow along every step of the way. Whether you’re an origami pro or a beginner, these ornaments are a fun and rewarding way to add a personal touch to your celebration.

. You’ll need two sheets of origami paper, liquid glue, a paintbrush, thread, and beads for each ornament you wish to make. Visit All Things Paper for complete instructions, including video tutorials.

Use LEGOs to Build Landmarks from Around the World

I love using LEGOs and other blocks in educational ways, because it’s a way to build on something that most kids already love and sneak in a bit of learning about another topic. Building is a great STEM lesson because it teaches creative thinking and problem solving, and it’s also just fun. 

123 Homeschool 4 Me brings blocks to your social studies or history lessons with a set of LEGO challenge cards involving landmarks of the world. The cards don’t call for any particular blocks, they just show a picture of the landmark and kids can use what they have to try to re-create the design. 

The cards included in the set are: 

  • Taj Mahal, India
  • Windmills, Holland
  • Brandenburg Gate, Germany
  • Eiffel Tower, France
  • Notre Dame, France
  • Arc de Triumphe, France
  • Sagrada Familia, Spain
  • Leaning Tower of Pisa, Italy
  • Colosseum, Italy
  • Stonehenge, United Kingdom
  • Big Ben, Great Britain
  • Blue Domed Church, Greece
  • Acropolis, Greece
  • St Basil’s Cathedral, Russia
  • Pyramids of Giza, Egypt
  • The Blue Mosque, Istanbul
  • Statue of Liberty, United States of America
  • Golden Gate Bridge, USA
  • Capital Hill, USA
  • Mount Rushmore, United States
  • Great Wall of China, China
  • Sydney Opera House, Australia
  • Machu Picchu, Peru
  • Chichen Itza, Mexico

You can use these challenge cards in lots of different ways. Of course you can just tuck them in the block are and see if kids want to play with them. You can also add them to a unit where you are learning about that country or a particular time period where the landmark makes sense to include. Have kids do a little research on the landmark, build their own version and present their findings. 

I would love to try some of these challenges, and I’ll bet your kids will, too. You can grab the free printable landmarks LEGO challenge cards from 123 Homeschool 4 Me. I’d love to hear how you use them!
