Tutorial: Origami Star Ornament

Sachiko from Tea Rose Home brings a beautiful twist to traditional paper folding with her fabric version of the classic origami star ornament. In her tutorial featured over at U Create, she shows step-by-step how to transform fabric into a stunning 3D star that captures the elegance of origami while adding the soft texture and durability of cloth.

Instead of using paper, Sachiko cleverly uses fabric to fold this eye-catching ornament, giving it a more long-lasting and cozy feel—perfect for holiday décor, gift toppers, or even year-round wall hangings. Her instructions are clear and beginner-friendly, with a cutting guide that helps you create a finished star that measures approximately 6 ¾” x 6 ¾”. It’s a lovely size to hang on your Christmas tree or to incorporate into a garland or wreath.

This project is also a great way to use up fabric scraps, especially if you have seasonal prints or metallics that deserve to shine. Whether you go with festive reds and greens or opt for a more neutral palette to suit your home’s style, this origami fabric star will add a handcrafted charm wherever it’s displayed.
