I've tried this: This is a GREAT origami tutorial for a fox. It gets a little bit confusing, so I don't recommend it to total beginners, but ultimately it makes a cute origami fox that can stand up on its own.
If you love easy and inexpensive but still gorgeous and fun Chrsitmas crafts try this little origami Christmas tree! This origami tree is really easy (only involves basic origami folds) so you can make some with the kids easily even .
