Learn how to make a DIY Origami Lucky Star Garland ... then use the homemade garland to decorate your home or hang on your Christmas tree!
This post contains affiliate links.
I have a total Charlie Brown Christmas tree. My husband and I bought it at Walgreens last year ... very classy, I know.

This petite tree is actually quite adorable, although you can see right through it. That's part of the charm though, right?

I love doing a project or two to add to my Christmas stash every year, and I thought that a homemade garland would complement my tree's quirks.

My DIY Origami Lucky Star Garland turned out so cute that I had to share it with you!

DIY Origami Lucky Star Garland

It's been a while since I've done origami, so this was a fun project. I used the Lucky Star pattern, which is super easy once you get the hang of it.

The best thing about this DIY Origami Lucky Star Garland is that you don't need origami paper. Regular old printer paper works, as do magazine pages and other decorative papers.

After I created about a bajillion of these little guys, I used a little string to create the DIY Origami Lucky Star Garland. It turned out so sweet, and the stars are perfectly wonky, just like my tree!

By the way, I originally found the tutorial for these Lucky Stars on Origami Fun. Head over there for additional visuals, if you need more help.

How to Make an Origami Garland

Read to make your own DIY origami Christmas garland? Here's how to do it!

Garland Supplies

Want to make your own DIY Christmas tree garland? Here's what you'll need:

How to Fold Origami Lucky Stars

First things first, you need paper. Although I made my own origami star paper, you can purchase origami star paper in many different colors and shapes.

Purchasing the paper is definitely the easy route. But if you want to make your own, start by cutting a bunch of strips of paper (use a lightweight paper, like printer paper).

You can use a scissors the cut the strips or a utility knife if you want to be more precise. The strips should measure about 1/2-inch wide and about 11 to 12-inches long.

To start a star, tie a knot in the end of one strip. Pull the end to tighten it up.

Tuck the short end of the strip into the fold.

It should resemble a pentagon.

Wrap the long end of the strip around the pentagon, following the pentagon's contours, until you reach the end of the strip.

Avoid making sharp folds as you wrap the paper. This will make it easier for the star to puff up later.

Tuck in the end so you have a self-enclosed pentagon.

Use your finger to make a crease in the middle of each pentagon side. The star should pouf up as you make the creases.
Pro tip: it took me a few tries to get these little stars to behave, so don't give up right away. Once you get the hang of it, they go really quickly.
How to String Origami Lucky Stars

OK, so you mastered how to make origami lucky stars. Now you need to make a ton of them! The garland for my little tree took about 90 stars, and it took about an hour to fold them. So get comfortable with your favorite TV program!

Once your stars are done, cut a long piece of string. The length of the string will depend on how long you want your garland. You can also create multiple, shorter garlands to make them easier to handle.

Thread the string on your needle, then pierce the needle through the side of the star. Pull it all the way through and slide the star to the opposite end of the string. Reshape the star, if necessary.

Repeat this process with the remaining stars, spacing them about an inch-and-a-half apart on the string.

After you've strung all the stars, tie a knot on either end of the string.

Hang up your DIY Origami Lucky Star Garland, then stand back and admire your handiwork!

How cute are those little stars? I'm already brainstorming other ways I can use them!

Origami Christmas Ornaments Are Easy to Make - DIY Candy

Make these colorful origami Christmas ornaments using bright and cheery paper! These are so easy, and teach children basic folding skills.

Looking for a fun way to decorate the tree this year? Why not try your hand at making this Origami Wrapper Chain Ornament? Hi! It's Leslie from Pink Stripey Socks. Today I'm sharing a new spin on gum wrapper chains.

Instead of candy wrappers, we're using origami paper to put a modern and colorful twist on this classic craft.

So turn up the Christmas carols, grab a pack of Origami paper, and let's get making some unique origami Christmas ornaments!

Christmas Origami Ornaments

Materials Needed:

Step 1: Fold a sheet of origami paper in half. Cut it in half.

Step 2: Take one half sheet. Place it color side down. Fold it in half and open it up.

Step 3: Fold up both sides so that they touch in the middle (at the crease made in step 2.)

Step 4: Fold your sheet of paper in half (using the crease made in step 2.)

Step 5: Fold it in half again.

Step 6: Now fold your very thin paper in half again and open it up.

Step 7: Fold both left and right sides of the paper to meet in the middle (at the crease made in step 6).

Step 8: Repeat this several times. (My paper was 5.9" x5.9", so I made about 18 of these to create a full wreath. You may need more or fewer depending on your papers' size and your preference for ornament size.)

Step 9: Take two of your folded sheets. See how they resemble V's?

Step 10: Slide the top portion of one V into the top portion of another V. Then slide your folded paper through so that it catches. (The bottom portion of the peach V is inside the top portion of the blue V.)

Step 11: Keep sticking the V's together in the same way as step 10. They should alternate and look like this chain.

Step 12: When you have enough Vs to complete a wreath, pull out the folded arms of your last V.

Step 13: Stick the two unfolded portions through your first V. (The green one is stuck through the blue one.)

Step 14: Now fold up your two unfolded arms.

Step 15: Stick them under a previous V and glue them to secure them in place. (The green bits are now under the pink V.)

Step 16: Tie on a string and you're done!

Hope you have a fun time whipping up these colorful origami Christmas ornaments with family or friends!

Origami is kind of like magic. You turn flat, boring paper into a three dimensional object using nothing but simple folds - it's really pretty amazing. Kids love origami, and it's a great way to keep them from going crazy on rainy days when they're stuck inside. Origami can be a calming activity for adults, too. I like it for the same reason I like mowing the lawn: it's something I can do that no one will undo within 15 minutes (heaven help me, I've swept my kitchen floor like 80 times already today!). Today I've gathered 20 cool origami tutorials for you. Most of them are fairly simple, with just a few offering a bit of a challenge, so most of them will be accessible for kids as well as adults. Enjoy!

NOTE: As with all roundups, if you'd like to pin an individual photo, please click through to the original source first. Feel free to pin the collage image above to remember where to find all these tutorials in one place! - thanks!

To finish the blossom, make 5 of these segments, and glue them together.

We also made a short video showing exactly how to create an individual flower segment, which you can find here:
Origami Blossom Tutorial
I don't know about you, but I can think of endless uses for the blossom; decorating gifts, putting on the wall, attaching to hair clips, using on cards, can you think of any others?

I thoroughly enjoyed watching Coco work, and afterwards, we sat and had a long chat in the garden over tea and cake, a perfect morning! And what an honour to have her on the blog. Thank you to the lovely Emma Gutteridge (whose blog you must check out) for the introduction.

You can find out more about Coco on her website.

Have a great weekend.

I'm really excited today, about sharing a blossom origami tutorial with you, by the very clever Coco Sato . Coco got in touch with me a few months ago, and as soon as I read about her work, I knew I would like to feature her on the blog.

I've been making a lot of these lately. They're pretty addictive because they're like little puzzles. I'm never quite sure until the end if all the pieces will fit together, yet miraculously enough, they do. It's very satisfying. Kids love these cubes - both creating them and playing with them.
