Becki's advent calendar
This is a very simple origami star which even the youngest children can make. As you will need three squares of paper and a glue stick to complete the model, it isn't origami in the true sense! Make 24 origami stars for a lovely homemade origami advent calendar!
These origami envelopes are quick to fold and you can make an impressive DIY origami advent calendar quickly. Either use up scraps of Christmas gift wrap randomly, or choose your paper carefully to blend in with your Christmas decor!
This origami advent calendar is made by folding 24 little origami cones, flattening them, and tying them closed with a ribbon.
