Let’s explore some new ways of making an origami Christmas tree (like with some kawaii drawings, unusual colors, and surprise cards). With them, craft Christmas trees are not simply a green and brown 3D origami, as creative as they are, these Christmas tree ideas are so special and will be loved by your friends.
We have a Christmas tree hiding small gifts, a kawaii Christmas tree for home decoration, a rainbow Christmas tree, and of course, more up to 5. These are easy, gift special, and my favorite.

- markers and pens

This is a set of origami Christmas cards with pockets for a cat, cow, bell, or scarf! You can draw your favorite character from kawaii art or Christmas stories, write a greeting on it, and put it in the Christmas tree’s stocking.
