Origami Adds a Festive Holiday Sparkle to a Staircase

The winter solstice is almost here, and the rebirth of the light is what I celebrate deep in my heart. Soon the sun will remain above the horizon a little longer each day in the northern hemisphere. The light returns slowly. I gladly receive it!

To welcome the light I decorate my home with a collection of paper ornaments I’ve made or received as presents over time. Origami stars, modular rings and wreaths add a festive holiday sparkle to my staircase.

In addition to these origami Christmas decorations I also place votive candles on each stair step inside glass containers which are in turn wrapped in folded paper. These little lamps are a joyful accent.

Nine links for instructions on how to fold origami Christmas decorations

  1. Wonderful examples as always.. Not sure but what type of paper would you recommend for folding the 16 pointed modular star with. Seems like you’ve use a mono print kami.

  2. Looks wonderful. If I tried it at home though, our kitten Mitzti would be swinging from them!
    Thanks for featuring my star in your collection.
