An opulently festooned Christmas tree is a combination of a range of decorative elements. With a plushy glimmering skirt on the base to a protruding finial on the top, an earnestly-designed fir tree is a centerpiece of your Christmastide decorations.
While baubles, balls, and finials are considered essential ornamental items for a Christmas tree, Origami decorations are the ones that give any fir crown a complete makeover of a celebrated Christmas tree. Paper decorations can bring out the nuance and thoughtfulness to the Nativity celebrations.
Making paper decoration in the house during Christmastide holidays can be a really fun activity. However, it can become pretty bothersome if no one in the house is an expert in origami folding and finessing. In such cases, there are strong chances that you may end up wasting a lot of stationery supply and your valuable holiday time.
With the spate of independent artists on e-commerce websites like Amazon, it has now become pretty easy to get intricately designed origami decorations for Christmas trees. These origami decorations are not just crafted with fine hands, but many of them also feature some interesting themes and cultural references. And on top of that, their reasonable prices make DIY paper decorations look more taxing.
For your convenience, we have compiled a list of 19 ready-made origami Christmas Tree Paper Decorations available in the market for the upcoming Christmas decorations. It is important to mention here that these products are not numbered in preferential order. It is just done for better readability.
Christmas Tree Paper Decorations
1. Paper Christmas Hanging Stars – Best Colored Paper Stars
- Made of Christmas patterned paper
- 12-cm wide (from one corner to the other)
- Comes with golden hoop
Star-shape decorations are a must for a Christmas tree. Whether it’s the topper or baubles or accent lights, stars always represent the true zest of winter celebrations. This is the reason why stars are also quite popular in origami decorations as well.
The item from which we are starting off our list is a set of 3 origami stars. Each star is folded from different color papers that are patterned with figures associated with Christmas (frills, snowflakes, polka dots, etc). They are large enough that even a string of three stars can accentuate a tall fir.
The stars come with a golden hoop so you can easily hang them on the tree. These beautifully folded stars can also be used as a little Christmas gift and a stocking stuffing.
Spectroscopy is a time-tested technique to create a depth perception in an image, or in other words to make it look 3D. Get Orange has used the same principle in its origami snowflake ornaments. This product is a set of 4 garlands each containing a “3D” paper snowflake. Actually, each garland thread has six paper snowflakes that are arranged to look spectroscopic or 3D. So, you get 24 carefully handcrafted paper snowflakes in total. These spectroscopic snowflakes are great hanging accents. Hang them on the tree or have you entire lounge lined with these dangling 3D snowflakes. The good thing about this Get Orange Origami product is it can be used for non-Christmas decorations as well. Give your walls, mantles, tree and windows the makeover of winter with these well-designed paper snowflakes. As mentioned earlier, paper decorations are a great way to add more nuance and thought to your Christmas décor. And the origami item we are going to review here is a perfect example of it. This origami is actually a Kusudama Ball that is a Japanese technique of arranging several pyramidal units of paper into a large sphere. Here, the Kusudama balls are made of superbly aged torn papers of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. Moreover, you can get them with hanging ribbons that make it perfect Harry Potter artifact e.g. silver and green ribbons for Slytherin House, scarlet and gold for Gryffindor. What makes these vintage harry potter-themed Kusudama balls more alluring is their handmade construction. An artist based in North Carolina crafts each and every piece with her own hands. Apart from a Christmas tree décor, you can also use them as fan pulls and general decoration item. Froebelian is considered one of the most complex and intricate techniques of paper folding. Even online tutorials are not enough in helping you to perfect the folding of Froebel stars. But there is no need to waste any time and resources in folding those unique 3D stars when you can easily get them online. StarCraft Moravian Froebel Stars is a set of six hand-folded 3D stars. Each start has a width of three inches and an astonishing number of vertexes (16!). All the six stars are already attached with threads so you can hang them on trees and mantles as you receive your order. It is worth mentioning that the stars are not folded from a plain paper. StarCraft has added more nuance to these paper decorations by using music notes and hymnals. This doesn’t just give stars a unique combination of black and white. They also look whimsical and well-matched for Christmas celebrations. You can buy them here. Luna Bazaar is one of the most well-known sellers of paper decorations on Amazon. It has introduced a range of delicate origami ornaments for this Christmas. And we are going to review a couple of them here. The first Luna Bazaar ornament on our list is beautifully folded heart-shaped paper decoration. Both plain and block-printed papers are used to fold these delicate origami items. Moreover, each piece is beautifully threaded and fix with a small golden orb on the top. The thread is also already there for easy installment. Apart from using them on your Christmas trees and fireplace mantels, you can stuff them in Christmas stocking as well. Or better yet, get a bunch of them to make an impressive Christmas present. Pizzelle snowflakes are some of the most recurring designs of Christmas. They are printed on every other Christmas item. However, getting the perfect shape of a Pizzelle snowflake with paper folding is no mean task. But if you love them and want to make them part of your Christmas décor, then Luna Bazaar is here to help you. The seasoned craftsman at Luna Bazaar has beautifully crafted 4.75-inch Pizzelle snowflakes from plain white paper. The flakes are then topped with a small golden orb and threaded in a string. The carefully planned size of these 3D paper snowflakes makes them ideal for both tree decoration and general accenting: you can use them on tabletop centerpieces or to line the kitchen ceiling. And even when Christmastide is over, keep them hanging and they will seamlessly become a part of your extended winter décor. As said before, Luna Bazaar satisfactorily caters to people looking for Christmas tree paper decorations. This Luna Bazaar item is a rich embodiment of Japanese and Far Eastern aesthetics in a folded paper. It is actually a spherical paper that is partially folded at regular intervals like a hand fan. These folds are passed through a silver ring, which holds them in their place. And not just that, this carefully folded paper is then garnished with a golden bead on top and a beautifully designed hooked tassel at the bottom. These design details make this origami item a standalone ornament as well. Hang them in a balcony or above your bedroom to create a stylish Japanese ambiance. Besides a using it as a décor item, you can also give it as a valuable Christmas gift. This Luna Bazaar origami item is another illustration of how the Japanese folding technique can beget marvelous decoration pieces from simple papers. Here, the paper is folded to make the shape of a flower with pointed petals. But if it looks like a flower from one angle, it appears as a large pendant from the other. In this Christmas origami, two silver rings are used to keep the folds and overall figure in shape. Moreover, the golden bead on top and an earring-like tassel at the bottom are used just like the above-reviewed Luna Bazaar origami. These shape-shifting origami pieces are made of either plain or blocked-printed paper. Many people overlook one important design element in Christmas tree paper decorations i.e. rawness. A paper decoration looks more true to its nature when it has some rough edges and creases. Luna Bazaar has taken care of this subtle feature of an origami decoration in this item. It is another tasseled origami with a pendant shape that you can hang in any part of the house, and not just on trees. Moreover, the use of golden tassel along with a golden orb on the top makes them an elegant option for a Christmas gift.
