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.
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.
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:
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:
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.

Origami Canoe
Designed by Jo Nakashima (24/Nov/2016)
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.
The folding sequence in the video is different from the diagrams below, but the result is the same as version ‘a‘.
This origami Christmas Tree is a variation of another one I made previously, but now using an octagonal unit (you can also fold it from other polygons). Click here to see the first version.

I’ve created the head of the origami elephant in june/2016, but only recently I decided to complete it with a body. There are now two versions, this one and the bookmark . I made this one seated to follow the same style of my origami money cat, money dog and money bunny.

The origami flower pot with stem is made from a single sheet of paper, making a good use of the colors of both sides. It can be connected with many different types of origami flowers, including my own designs, other artist’s designs and traditional models.

In this origami Daruma you can fill the eyes by making a simple valley-fold as shown in the gif above! If you like japanese culture, see also the Maneki Neko and the Mount Fuji!
