Christmas 3D papercraft is fun to make. You can do this project with your children. There are a lot of ideas you can try such as 3D snowman paper, 3D Santa paper, 3D Christmas tree, 3D Christmas card, and many more. The basic principle of making a 3D papercraft is layering a stack of paper to create a 3D effect. For example, you are about to make a 3D Christmas card. You can start with a basic card as the base. You may want to choose a design or character to make into a 3D accent.
For example, let's try a 3D Santa. Cut out a basic shape of Santa. Cut some more paper for different parts of the body such as the head, arms, and legs. Cut more paper for the detailing. To make the 3D effect more obvious, you may want to use thick double-sided tape usually with a soft sponge in it. Start to build the character by layering the paper cutouts starting from the base shape and slowly towards smaller details. In the end, you will have a 3D accent on your Christmas card. You can make this 3D papercraft not only for Christmas cards but also for Christmas decorations as well.
