Tutorial - Santa Claus

 

I made a variation of the Santa Claus model designed by Yukihiko Matsuno (here you can see the youtube tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVkaOcJi_0M) in order to use it for my Christmas paper mobiles. In my variation, Santa has two faces. Like this, it is nicer to display in a paper mobile especially because the origami figures spin a lot in the decoration, every time someone touches them or you just open the window.
For this model you need two squares of paper - duo-color: red & white. You can start with a 9 cm model, but then you can make smaller models of 7 cm or even 5 cm - depending on your patience.

Head:

Body:

Here we have two parts: the head and the body. We will have to glue them together:

The model is ready. You can use a marker to make the eyes, nose and mouth if you want to.
