You will be surprised to see how easy this origami diamond ornament is to put together even if the diamond shape doesn’t look like it. You can turn the paper diamonds into super cute Christmas ornaments in various different sizes and colors.
I can honestly say that paper is my favorite material to make ornaments with. It also doesn’t break the bank when you have to purchase it and there are so many different options. Paper is also so easy to work with. If you mess up, just crumble it and start from scratch, no big deal!

I actually made these cute origami diamond ornaments in 2013 for my blog. Back then I was such a newbie at blogging and didn’t really have a good tutorial. So I thought, I’d rewrite the blog post but also show you the old photos at the end of this post and how they looked back then. I still love the idea so much.
Let’s get started.
Materials needed
paper (thinner paper works best but I used construction paper or this paper for the dark diamond ornament and printer paper for the white ones – metallic paper would be really pretty too)
hot glue gun with a thin tip and glue sticks (I use this glue gun and love it)
craft glue
ruler
craft knife
ribbon or yarn to hang the ornament
Different pretty paper options to use
Of course, you could also use origami paper, scrapbooking paper, wrapping paper, or any other fun colored or patterned paper that you come across. As I said earlier, thinner paper is easier to work with.

I made a video to show you how I folded the shape and glued it together. If it doesn’t load for you then you can also watch it on my YouTube channel instead.
Finished origami diamond Christmas ornaments
As I mentioned earlier, I made these cute paper ornaments back in 2013. Below you can see the original photos. I also added jingle bells to the tips/bottom corners by sewing them on with a needle, as well as different colored satin ribbons. Back then we actually had snow and I photographed them outside. It was so charming when the wind made the bells ring like wind chimes.
I also hung some of them on my curtain rods with different-sized Christmas ball ornaments. Another idea is to string multiple origami diamonds onto a pretty ribbon or cord to create a unique garland.
Where to buy similar diamond-shaped Christmas ornaments
As always, I want to provide some similar options for sale for those of you who like the look but don’t like to DIY anything. Thankfully Etsy usually has a great selection and you also support some small businesses. (as you can see these paper diamonds look great in every color and even patterned paper)

As you can see in the below image of my Christmas tree, I have several other handmade ornaments that barely cost me anything but that I love to bring back every year.
In this photo, you can only see one origami diamond on my Christmas tree because I was still working on making more. See it to the left side of my cat?
