Red-and-white two-sided paper (origami paper or scrapbooking paper) makes coloring the origami Santa Claus easier, but white paper is also fine.

5. Easy Origami Santa Quilt, Easy Christmas Sewing Craft (diff 5/10) 折り紙サンタキルト作り方


Difficulty 5/10.
Use origami techniques in this Santa quilt, no piecework! The Santa is one square of red print fabric, folded so that the white back shows. This Origami Santa Quilt, a great and easy Christmas sewing craft, requires that you only cut squares of Christmas color fabric, of any size, so it is very easy to cut. There is no fancy cutting and no fancy piecing together of fabrics. Because almost all edges are folded, it prevents fraying and thus is very easy to sew! Perfect for beginner origami enthusiasts and beginning sewers looking for an easy Christmas sewing craft. One of the fabrics should be double-sided, and Christmas colors work best. I have been wanting to try out this idea of using origami designs in fabric to make quilt squares, and by golly it worked!

Easy Origami Dress Tutorial for Mother's Day Cards (difficulty 5/10) 折り紙ドレス


This origami dress tutorial is great for hand-made Mother's Day cards, bridal shower cards, or simply a card for a friend who loves fashion. Although my channel is "Origami for Kids," this one is really for older kids because you need a lot of patience during the origami fold for getting the skirt to flare out. Have fun creating this origami dress for Mother's Day cards.

If you want to make bunting with origami dresses on them, I recommend using scrapbooking paper for the variety of patterns. For cards you will need smaller paper, so look in Japanese or Asian specialty stores. They usually have some cute floral origami for pretty dresses. For an extra special mother's day card, take a picture of the pattern on one of your mom's favorite dresses and print it out on plain paper to make custom origami paper. Then, fold it and surprise her with an origami dress card inspired by a real dress of hers.
