Are you looking for a guide on Christmas Origami? Christmas paper folding art differs from traditional origami. This special form is mainly intended for children and sometimes requires additional materials such as glue and felt-tip pens.

Before you start folding, we recommend buying special origami paper at the stationery store. This colored paper is thinner than regular paper and makes folding much easier. The low thickness is especially advantageous when multiple layers of paper are stacked. The right paper makes a big difference in folding and helps you create precise folding edges.
