Tips and suggestions for making Fabrizio Pianosi’s Origami Santa Bookmark

  • Any thin and crisp paper is adequate to make this model.  In the video, the Origami Santa is demonstrated using a solid-color origami paper*.
  • A good paper size to learn the Santa Bookmark is 6 × 6-inch (15 × 15cm). Once you have practiced, try folding it with a smaller piece of paper.
  • This Santa shows both sides of the paper. It is best to use red paper with white on the reverse side.
  • Since this origami Santa Bookmark can be flat, it is perfect to be used on a Christmas Greeting card and easily mailed. More flat origami HERE.

Within our Origami Spirit Membership, we also feature tutorials for these festive bookmarks and napkin holders.
