Modular origami Santa Claus - master class



We will need: sheets of A4 paper: of blue color- 14 pieces for 211 modules, white - 13 pieces for 207 modules, pink - 1 sheet for 17 modules.

We divide each sheet into 16 rectangles, from which we will make modules.

Step one. Fold the rectangular sheet in half lengthwise. Using another fold, we outline the middle line.

Step two. We bend the edges of the rectangle folded along the middle, as shown in the photo. Turn the piece over and fold the bottom edges up.

Step three. We fold the corners, bending them over the large triangle, and then bend these corners inward. We bend the resulting figure in half - so we have learned how to make a module. Now, in the same way, we make the required number of modules indicated above from the rest of the paper.

Step four. Let's start making crafts. We take 5 white modules and arrange them as in the photo (we place the top row module with the smaller side up). Next, we assemble a chain of 3 rows of white modules. Each row consists of 25 pieces.

Step five. We close the chain into a ring and turn it over. Next, we perform 3 rows with blue modules. From the seventh row we make a beard. To do this, insert 2 white modules with the smaller side facing out. We insert the remaining blue modules of row 7 as usual.

Step five. In the 8th row we fasten 3 white modules, as usual, with the long side, the remaining modules are blue. With each next row we add one white module on each side of the beard.

Step six. In the 11th row we insert one red module into the middle of the beard - this is the mouth. Row 12 consists of white modules. We put them on blue modules with the smaller side facing out, and on white modules (beard) with the long side, as usual. In the 13th row, opposite the red module, we put on the white one with the long side outward, and 2 pink modules each with the smaller side (see photo).

Step seven. In the 14th row we put on 6 pink modules with the smaller side, and we put on white modules as usual. Row 15 - we put on 17 white modules and 8 pink ones. In the 16th and 17th rows we put on all the white modules with the smaller side outward - this is the hat.

Step eight. The last 18th row consists of blue modules with the smaller side facing out. We assemble hands from 3 white modules and 5 blue ones. Glue the finished eyes and insert the nose (part of a children's mosaic). Santa Claus made from paper using the technique modular origami ready. We hope that after studying the master class, the Snow Maiden, made in the same technique, will appear next to your Santa Claus.

  2. We cut out an oval from pink paper, draw eyes and a nose on it with a felt-tip pen and glue the face of Santa Claus to the cone.
  3. Next, glue on the beard and hat from white paper. To do this, cut out white strips, cut fringe on them and twist it with scissors. We glue strips with twisted fringe to the cone at the bottom of the face in several rows, giving the beard fullness. We make a hat from the same strip. A beard, hat and fur coat for Santa Claus can be made from cotton wool, which is glued to the cone along its lower edge, on the face and the upper part of the cone. An elegant Santa Claus made from paper, made by yourself, is ready. Using a cone, using your imagination, you can make a Snow Maiden.

The result is the body and head of Santa Claus.
  2. Cut out a small circle for the face from pink or orange paper. We cut out a mustache, beard and hat of any size from corrugated cardboard and decorate the face with them.

What New Year would be complete without Santa Claus? Santa Claus is the main attribute of the New Year. The fabulous time is just around the corner, you need to start preparing. Today we will make Santa Claus with our own hands using scrap materials.

To create Santa Claus we will need:

  • paper (for pattern);
  • cardboard (for footrest);
  • wire (to shape the legs);
  • glue gun (for strengthening and gluing parts);
  • thread with a needle (for sewing work);
  • fabric (for pants, mittens, cap);
  • padding polyester (to give shape to the body, nose and pom-poms);
  • foam rubber (for boots);
  • fleece (for covering boots);
  • paints (to create a face);
  • multi-colored felt (decoration for a fur coat, cap, shoes);
  • buttons, beads, beads (decoration for a fur coat);
  • wool (for creating a mustache, beard, hair);
  • scissors.
We begin the creation of Santa Claus by cutting out his torso, as well as a stand for his feet. For this we use paper. Size finished product depends on the initial choice of pattern size. To make a stand for the future Santa Claus, take cardboard and cut out a circle from it. Then we conditionally divide it into three equal parts and cut it at the intersection of the lines. We attach padding polyester to the cut out cardboard using glue and cover it with a piece of fabric. We thread wire into the incised places and model future legs.

We fasten a thin, relatively long one to a massive wire. The places where the cardboard is fastened to the wire, as well as the wire to the wire, are fastened with hot glue using a glue gun. From the same fabric that covered the circle, we cut out two long rectangular strips. We sew both rectangles from the wrong side and put them on Santa Claus’s feet. These will be his pants.


Using a paper pattern, we sew a fabric cone. We do not sew the tip of the cone to the end. Turn the finished fabric cone inside out. We thread a thin wire into the resulting hole. We stuff the future torso with padding polyester and sew it to the legs.

In order for Santa Claus to stand strong and confidently, you need to strengthen the support of your legs. To do this, take cardboard and cut out the marks. Using hot glue, secure the traces and bent wire together. To give the boots a shape, we cut out the lining from foam rubber and secure it with glue.

To make the boots attractive, we cover them with fleece material. We glue felt onto the sole; if the material extends beyond the boundaries of the boots, we carefully trim it with scissors.

Now we come to the design of the face. Conventionally divide the cone into the body, head, and hat. We make the nose from a small piece of fabric and padding polyester. We put the padding polyester inside the fabric and use a needle and thread to tighten it to give the shape of a ball. Sew the nose to the face of Santa Claus. First we paint the face with white paint, then we paint the eyes, mouth, red nose and cheeks with other colors.

It's time to dress up as Santa Claus. We sew a red fleece coat. We take a size slightly larger than the body itself. Cut, sew, turn inside out. Using a paper template, cut out 4 strips of future hands. We also sew them together and fill them with padding polyester.

We put a fur coat on the body and sew on the arms. We decorate the fur coat with parts cut out of felt. Add beads, beads and snowdrifts from white felt.

From white felt we cut out strips for finishing the sleeves, collar, and cuffs for the boots.


We sew the hands to the toy. What is Santa Claus without a beard? At this stage, we use a felting needle and attach a lush beard, then we model a chic mustache and hair. We trim the hair with scissors.

The final stage is making the cap. We sew two conical pieces of fabric together, then turn them inside out. Is this the time we need that little wire? sticking out of my head. The cap is put on the head, and with the help of wire we shape the tip of the headdress. We also decorate with a pompom made similar to the nose and a white fleece lapel.


That's all, we have made Santa Claus, which means we are ready to celebrate the New Year with our heads held high! Happy Holidays!
