How to make an origami Reindeer
Origami Reindeer designed by Jo Nakashima (15/Dec/2016)
Difficulty level: low intermediate
The origami reindeer can be nicely combined with other Christmas models, such as the Sleigh, Santa Claus and his bag!
I’am really satisfied with the result, especially with the lock at the end that keeps it closed.
Use paper with the same color on both sides.
Paper
The paper I used is 20cm x 20cm SATOGAMI from Origami-shop. It’s a thin paper with beautiful colors and texture. Click here to buy this paper.
Standard origami paper and copy paper works for this model too.
