How to Print and Cut Your Origami Paper
- Use thin printer paper (70–80 gsm / 20 lb). Thick cardstock is hard to fold.
- Print on US Letter or A4. “Fit to page” is fine, the square just needs to stay square!
- Cut along the grey line with scissors or a paper trimmer for straight edges.
- Let the ink dry for a minute before folding so it doesn’t smudge.
- Saving ink? Print only the designs you need, or try the lighter designs like Christmas Trees, Ornaments and Peppermints.
What to Fold with Christmas Origami Paper
- Origami stars: fold a few in Gold Stars or Snowflakes paper and hang them on the tree.
- Gift boxes: a Masu box or a gift box with 4 flaps makes a sweet container for cookies and small presents.
- Paper cranes: string several together for a festive garland.
- Envelopes: fold a patterned envelope for a handmade Christmas card.
- Hearts and decorations: perfect for gift tags and table decorations.
