Origami Reindeer (or deer)

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.

More Christmas models

The origami reindeer can be nicely combined with other Christmas models. Check out my playlist on YouTube to find all I’ve made for Christmas, including many different trees, Snowman, and other figures.

Here are some of the more closely related models:

Origami Santa Claus
Santa Claus Bag – acutally, just a traditional waterbomb!
Santa’s Sleigh – you can put Santa and his bag inside!

Suggested sizes

If you plan to fold all the models, you’ll want them in a good relative size, right? Here are some suggested paper sizes for each model:

Info

Now our little origami Santa Claus has a Sleigh! You can put both Santa and his bag inside of it. I really liked the locks, the color changes and the curves.

Difficulty level: simple
My paper: 15cm x 15cm Kraft

This simple origami boat can float and the paper usage is very efficient: a 15cm X 15cm sheet of paper results in a 19cm long canoe.
